I could not agree more!! The Russians and Chinese have been the most successful countries in the early 21st century. America's leaders would do well to study these countries and try to implement what we can that these countries are doing. If you want to be the best, study the best!! <br /><br />Now with that said that does not mean we should or even that we could implement every thing these countries are doing. Some things they do simply would not work for us nor would it be desirable for us to try.<br /><br />If they are really serious about following up with fatwas against Russia and China, this is not going to have a good ending for them. The Russians and Chinese will crush them. Fighting the Americans is easy by comparison. The Islamists may have just over reached. Of cours the fatwas might just be for show. Nevertheless I'd expect the Russians to take it seriously. <br /><br /><br />I'm not sure why one would "cautiously" be on the Syrian regime to prevail. I would think Assad would win easily. Why hasn't he been able to win this thing before now? Especially with Russian and Chinese backing. Whose funding and directing this uprising? The media and US officials would do well to try and answer this question. <br /><br />The meeting between the Russians and the Syrians was probably for the Russians to assure Syria that they will receive full backing from them should they need it. Neither Iran nor their Russian controllers wish to see Syria fall. As such, Russia will go to the mat to protect the Assad government. China might as well. <br /><br />The US and the "west" likely should not get involved militarily or in any way with this. This runs the risk of a military confrontation with Russia, China, or both of them. Such a confrontation is inadvisable. We cannot afford it, and we do not have the man power or equipment that is in good enough condition to be able to carry out such a mission without severely compromising the main purpose of the military which is to defend America. <br /><br />Furhtermore its very unlikely we could win a military confrontation with Russia or China right now. Its long past time for America's leaders to face facts as they are and not what they wish them to be and act accordingly.B.Posternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-73261040151171194682012-02-07T11:00:07.873-08:002012-02-07T11:00:07.873-08:00what would rosey say?
the UN sucks?
one of the th...what would rosey say?<br />the UN sucks?<br /><br />one of the things i think will be interesting is the issuing of fatwas for russia and china.<br />whole countries? <br />neither of these countries have shown timidity when dealing with ra....., ra......, ra......., islamist radicals. <br />i envy their leadership in this manner.<br />some details don't get out of china for weeks after the event occurs. they may sow fomenting/discord in their respective regions. they may get their heads shoved up their respective asses as well.louielouienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-84317283300542914862012-02-07T06:28:47.173-08:002012-02-07T06:28:47.173-08:00Other good analyses at Sultan Knish, Caroline Glic...Other good analyses at Sultan Knish, Caroline Glick, & J.E. Dyer.<br />The Obama administration knew very well that Russia & China would veto at the UN. So, pushing for a vote was only for show.<br />Another point, the Arabs use the West, primarily America, to fight their wars. Saudi Arabia runs American foreign policy.<br />Last point, Assad cannot survive unless as a war-lord of either Damascus or more likely, the Alawite region. Syria will break up into ethnic enclaves all fighting each other, each ethnic group supported by the various neighbors. <br />I would also mention that it is a very stupid, stupid, stupid idea to allow the UN to decide regime change anywhere, and, in this, the Russians are right. <br /><br />Terry, Eilat - IsraelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
