That's what am inclined to believe as well. I mean to assume that people of his caliber are placed all over China's important key economic sectors I wouldn't worry too much then of China's supposed rise because it would have never come or be this dauntingly challenging. America would have been like, nah, you guys are nothing but a bunch of gullible twats, easily impressed ergo easily manipulated like a bumbling idiots. But we all know the reality isn't the case.
I have lived in the west for a while now and the times I spent in the west I often asked myself just how these countries became or arrived at these level of sophistication and development if these people in politics and business can't even come to some sort of agreement on some basic fundamental things. The conservatives must always denigrate the Libs and vice-versa. There are no calamities big or small can bring the fractious factions to work together for a common goal or purpose; not even the collapse of their financial institutions that brought a lot of their people into ruin. And as we can all see and bear witness, not even the plague of death can make these exceptional people come together in agreement about anything. The only thing and time they do find some ways to come together is when they are presented a common foe. A foe designed, propagated as a menacing entity trying to disrupt, destroy, and or replace the "American way of life." That unifying message is War against a made up enemy to make these warmongers forget their shitty lives and problems crested by their own gov't.
I wish Duterte was younger and that Philippine revised constitution allows a President to run for another 6 year term that would at least allow the Philippines actual breathing room and space to move away from the clutches of the American machinations from within and outside the country.
Xi, Putin and Duterte all have my respect. These three are real men that I can genuinely see actually care about their countries and refuse to kiss western ass. While here in the United Shits we had a woke baizuo cuck that only acts black when its politically convenient (Obama), a loud, bumbling wannabe alpha-male twitter warrior that gets easily triggered himself (Trump) and now an old, senile woke baizuo cuck (Biden). I can go on with previous presidents but my descriptions would be too long and vulgar lol.
But if the British departure from greatness was hidden within the momentous events of WWII, with the Suez Crisis being merely a legal conclusion to this drawn-out process, the American departure threatens to unleash a global thermonuclear war which may completely obliterate human civilization, and this is an outcome which must be prevented by all means. It is not easy when one considers the incompetence of the contemporary American political and intellectual classes, especially their complete obliviousness to the realities of war and the horrors it unleashes, as will be further addressed herein. It is here, in this obliviousness, where both American idealism and moralism most manifest themselves, here at this very juncture, that an exceptionally unique American hubris and a complete loss of a sense of scale and proportion in its self-aggrandizement, as well as loss of the sense of commensuration between effort and outcome, begin to dictate the logic of America’s view of itself. It is a disturbing vision, as the events of the last 20 or so years have proved. But as Orwell’s dictum goes, “Those who control the past control the future, and those who control the present control the past”. American “elites” proved themselves to be master manipulators of that vision.
@Norinco_81 good day bro, I also add Orban of Hungary and Edrogan of Turkey, whatever opinion you have against Edrogan and the method he used you have to give him respect for pursuing his country interest first.
Bro people serve in the military usually had a more balance view especially those deployed overseas, they had seen the effect and horror of war.
Well your friend never visited his native country nor experience the horror of the previous administration mismanagement, bro before Duterte criminals roam the street, I had an incident were I had to fight with a gang of teenagers with knifes trying to rob a schoolgirl in broad daylight and you know what happen after that incident ,I was being extorted by the policeman for beating a Child, that is how fuck up our systems is, the previous administration follow the neo liberal policy of Obama to a tee, anybody who deviate is being cancel and demonized. Duterte change all that without a care in the world , that's what leadership is all about, somebody need to clean out the mess and he is the only one that can do that, before him we are on a brink of becoming a Narco state with state institution and policeman being involved.
