Americans afraid of China?

i would hope china weould not take the u.s' s path to becoming an arrogant power trying to interfere with others. it needs to settle for a more east-asian power hold. world power always bring downfall. chin just needs to asser itself in the world an build a group of friends to help it.

fried, im not the only guy fighting brother of snake. hes made opponents like crazy with his nationalist speeches. such as plabuddy and issa.

Americans fear China? that could be an understatement... Americans fear the world. (No offense popeye) but as you see with current events not everyone likes america.


All I can say is goodluck spending billions of dollars every year to shield your selves while a few extremist or idealist spend a thousand dollars to get one day right to inflict harm.

Hmm so does that mean that somebody who subjects others to Shock and Awe
terror in short suffers from an inordinate fear of terror ?

A fearful super power is very dangerous. History was shown that.

The Romans were fearful.
First they feared the Estruscans so they conquered them
Then they feared the Latin League in Southern Italy, so they conquered them.
Then they feared the power of the Carthaginian Empire, so they conquered them in the 3 punic wars.
Then they feared the power of the Mithrandes of Seleucid Empire, so they conquered it, along with Pontic.
Then they feared the Macedonians, so they conquered it.
Then they were afraid of the Gauls, so they conquered it.

Next thing they know they know, the Roman republic was a Roman Empire. All they lack was an emperor. Gauis Jilius Ceasar fix that.

As the saying goes, the road to hell is paved with good intensions.

the whole point of a bully is that offense is the best form oif defense. they need to strike first. unfiortunatley, what america says is law. you cannot tell the principle. in order to topple its world supremacy, china must make a ring of friends, including europe and russia, that will finally express their will and force america out. i sure the russians and europeans dont like the u.s putting bases near themselves or the u.s meddling in their affairs.

Europeans might be a harder sell. Currently, US has its biggest bases in Europe. Even though US and Europe may be at odds at times, they are still very strong allies. NATO still exists.

thats why china nees to increase its nfluence, its participation in gallileo and trade realatons are a good step. that the lifting of the amrs embargo will be the next step. then china should tell the europeans to kick the u.s out.
why do the americans needs o many bases in europe?

Its a relic from the cold war.
Most of their big bases are in UK and Germany.

Culturally, the US is most similar to Europe (ie. liberal democracy,etc)

i know they are relics from the cold war, but why do those relics remain? they cost money and men to maintaian, and have very little purpose now. the americans do have deep relations with eu, but that wont stop china from snatching a few friends...
