    I don't think you can stop them becoming a superpower. Nor do you have the right to.

    I think you just have to draw a line in the sand. they shouldn't have been allowed to build military bases on those little islands (we are a culpable too) If we give them Taiwan might as well give them the entire Pacific...

    No, we can't stop them, but I can certainly criticize it. It was a gamble, at best, in the Cold War era. I think the idea was if we could make China a capitalist nation, then they would turn against Communism and that would isolate Russia. It didn't work so well.

    We could crush their economy by withdrawing all our trade from them, bring our companies home, but eventually that leads to a very desperate country with some very dangerous weapons hating us. But then again, where would we get our cheap goods from?

    How would you have gone about stopping them from building those bases? Without risking open war?

It's like one minute it was fine outside, then all of a sudden, like I said, the wind must have shifted because it was just awful outside and stayed that way the rest of the day. It was hard to breathe, your eyes burned, and you could feel it in your lungs.

    Luckily this morning it's not bad again, just a small hint of smoke in the air, but who knows if it will stay this way all day.

    The fire grew almost 25K acres over night, it's up to almost 60K acres now.

    CIA = traitors, especially the likes of HW. Those pieces of shit were employed to line their pockets at the expense of America and undermine the Constitution, the surnames Bush and Clinton will forever be shit in my book.

    The "pivot to China" was a pivot to china at the explicit expense of america, done on purpose and by design. The banksters want world communism with them as the controlling faction, with all their bought & paid for minions doing their bidding. And then the underclass of everyone else, who will periodically be culled.

    USSR was too strong and part of the pivot to china was to stem USSR, and the banksters made sure that it was balkanized and mother Russia bitch slapped. Which was why all the shit in syria & lebanon, to try for the pipeline so as to really fuck russia on energy prices.

    Cheap crap, who cares about cheap crap....mfg needs to come back home and to hell with .10 cent garbage.

    Wait till the treasury dollar arrives

    When I went to bed last night it was up to almost 100K acres and I believe is not either the 4th or the 3rd largest fire in Colorado history.
