It seems to me the right has been conditioned to hate China; the left Russia. I think that might have been engineered because the first target was still a toss up. That's the great thing about the whole left/right paradigm you have the illusion of freedom when really you have autocratic control.
Don't ask me where but I know that I heard it most likely, but maybe I possibly read it. The Chinese apparently have given out thousands of loans to poorer nations. Of all the defaults only a VERY small percentage did they ever seek to foreclose on. Lol again, I know I heard it somewhere and it really made my gears turn.
I have also heard that for the cost of the all the bombs dropped by the US last 10 years, China has spent about the same amount connecting countries in within their Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). I am reasonably certain it has been a very long time since they have fired a bullet in anger.
Please forgive me as I am tired so not much research tonight lol. However I would not repeat this stuff if I wasn't 99% about it. It is also why I am trying to keep it somewhat vague at the moment. The US has a plethora of bases around the world and I mean a shitload. I think both China and Russia have about 1 each.
Obviously the US has had this ability to pull off far longer than the other 2. This is being done however not to better the world IMO. Its being done to make sure the world stays in check and does not ever upset the Unipolar economic system or hegemony. When you have multiple countries with an even stake (MOSTLY) like in BRICS (Multi Polar Order) you have much less risk of one taking control and becoming the unquestionable master of the world.
This didn't happen to the US by accident. TPTB picked up their gambit and setup shop in the US as opposed to London. There's still quite a presence in London and much of Western Europe. Like I mentioned in another post I believe TPTB have fully hitched themselves to the US wagon. Again, and this is just a guess, I think "they" planned on China being their next HQ. This might just explain why they helped build China up. I think the Chinese double crossed their sorry asses. That's just a guess but I do know this; both China and Russia are tired of our tantrums. I had always thought it would be North Korea or Iran to take the world hostage but have reconsidered that thought.
Been a pleasure sir.......give me a shout anytime. I'm out. Nice meeting you Joe.
