Vijay Prashad: China Does Not Want A War

[@roelitogawilan5854]

Vijay Prashad. ❤ This message and this guy. He's an intelligent and the world should follow his take on world affairs. He's got all of the pressing problems of the world inside his head.

[@yiplekhong5111]

Brilliant as usual, Mr.Vijay..

[@dashong8912]

Too many American "get off" on war. That plus the American's belief that American society is inherently virtuous, both in its domestic and international behavior, makes for a DANGEROUS combination.

[@gelinrefira]

Because they never have to taste the consequences of war they brought to other countries. If war ever comes to the shores of the USA, they will collapse quickly, because they are all chicken hawks.

From history of the past 70 odd years, the US only created wars in weak countries that have no good military defense capability. The US victory relied mainly on its superior aerial bombings against its enemy in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, Algeria etc . However the US won't touch Russia at any moment because Russia has nuclear weapons. If the US wants to fight the Russian, it will be on its own and would suffer serious consequence. And that could cause the demise of the American Empire. Many people around the world forget that USA is made of migrants from all over the world and it does not consider the UK as its mother land. The migrants went to the US to make money as their American dream and fighting a war without generating wealth is not their cup of tea. Remember the US demanded UK to pay back loans during WW2 to help UK fight the Nazis. To the American there is no free lunch given to anyone. Ask Japan and South Korea how much they need to pay as " protection money" to the US to protect them from their imaginary "enemy" China. China will be stupid to invade Japan and South Korea as both countries don't have oil wells for China to steal.

Mike, we called the US bullies. Russia now dropping bombs on Kiev. Biden today sending PRAYERS to Ukraine and not US troops. Where now is Nato? Sending prayers too uh?

brinkmanship

[@raypardillo6788]

China is in fact over extending it's borders in the South China sea to the disadvantage and detriment of neighboring island nations like Vietnam and the Philippines. Taiwan could spark a major blown out conflict involving Russia should China finally decide to use force to reclaim it and the US aiding Taiwan.

Ray even if it's true what your saying ...( I don't believe it is doing what you say ) but if it was ... Surely you as a human being wouldn't want ...Nuclear War ??? China help countries ...They haven't bombed any one in the last ..40 years or more ...And the USA are a long long way away , from there own shores ... America has nothing to offer the world , only Arms ,war , etc etc ...Were has China is well a more peaceful people's ...might be because they have had it in there own land , but whatever No one can say China ...is in the same league when it comes to Aggression ....

[@dashong8912]

On the contrary it is the US which is goading China into a war over Taiwan. A declining power will do what it can to stay at number 1.
