Yet it is China that is bashed for being aggressive. Why is the USA in Syria, Iraq or Afghanistan? How about all of the other countries where they have troops or conduct combat missions? Who appointed the USA to be the world's police person? What the USA calls terrorists are called freedom fighters by others. Yet which one is right? The USA started in revolt from their sovereign nation. The British would of called them terrorists. They both can not be right. Why not leave it up to the United Nations?

Posted in: China urges U.S. to lift trade restrictions, stop interference See in context
What I am trying to say is the US while not bad is not so great. There needs to be peace on Earth and mindless attacks on another country threaten the peace. After all the American Tariffs on Japan was one of the reasons for the Pacific War. You can back a country into a corner in which it means fight or perish. China may not be able to back down without a loss of face.

Yet China has not invaded any country recently unlike the Americans. What if China would interfere with American internal affairs like how non white people are treated by police, etc. The USA supports anti China movements with money and perhaps weapons. What would happen if China did the same? Oh but all of the Chinese overseas bases, how many bases does the US have overseas? Still the USA should remove tariffs just to get trade going, then how are the American farmers doing under tariff actions? Will President Biden give them billions of dollars?

Next South Korea will describe Japan as a foe. It has happened that South Korea is Japan's number one military threat. Japan should prevent the USA from using their bases to defend South Korea. Worse the USA will not help defend Japan from South Korea.

Posted in: There are many perpetual offenders of sexual crimes against children. Building a system to prevent such people from getting jobs dealing with children is necessary for the offenders, too. But creating a database and sharing information with the public will lead to excessive discrimination and exclusion. If an offender becomes isolated, the recidivism rate will increase. See in context

Nothing wrong with getting drunk as long as it is not too often and you can control yourself. It is the western mindset that thinks getting drunk is a sin. Myself I think men use getting drunk as an excuse for their domestic violence.

Robert Cikki, history shows a pattern of action. How many countries is China fighting in today? How many countries are the Americans fighting in today? How many first strikes has China done? How many first strikes has America done? As for South Korea, they really need a distraction now for their public. Perhaps a short victorious war is needed for the public.
