Yeah, gotta love the yanks accusing the Chinese of militaristic imperialism, what a joke, and with a straight face, too.

M'lud, respectfully, exhibit two [2] - US Invasion of Grenada 1983

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/1955 ... rospective
"It has been exactly 30 years since US forces invaded Grenada, ending that Caribbean island nation's four-year socialist experiment. The island nation no bigger than Martha's Vineyard, with a population that could barely fill the Rose Bowl, was defeated with relatively few American casualties. President Ronald Reagan's decision to occupy the country and replace the government with one more to his liking proved to be quite popular in the United States, with polls indicating that 63 percent of the public supported the invasion."


Exhibit Two A [2a]
US President Reagan, clearly a complete psychopath, never should have been in any office let alone the Oval Office.

Isn't that same comment made about democracy?

my apologies, i misqouted a line regarding gitmo

that administration was so full of extraordinary use of English let alone novel types of logic (?) i seem to have mixed his metaphor.

something his boss was very fond of too.

I was "on" Diego Garcia in 1999/2000 (880ft ship full of bombs.)(prepositioned ship/) Its one big ammo dump with nuke weapons. The US lease is up in 2016 so it will be interesting to see what transpires. With the Diego lease up in 2016 and the US base in question, the US military is pursuing all avenues to get bases to replace it in Asia. One is leasing Subic bay (again) in the Philippines. If America can back the Phil. with its claim to these islands they have a good chance to have their Phil. base again. The Phil. doesn't have the Navy to confront the land/power hungry Chinese, but the US has ships and subs just setting around. What better way to get military spending to pass the US Congress than a little saber rattling?

Probably find the US suggests it to the Chinese, and they split the arms expenditure which results from the new boogey-man phenomenon

A Chinese website has published photographs from one of the reefs under China’s control in the disputed South China Sea showing female sailors posing on ocean breakwalls, vegetable gardens being watered and even pigs in a pen.

The slideshow of 17 photographs from Fiery Cross Reef shows how quickly China is developing facilities to support its troops on the newly formed island following major land reclamation.

Sina, one of China’s biggest web portals, put the slideshow online under the headline “Gratifying results on China’s Yongshu Reef: building vegetable greenhouses (and) growing fruit trees.”

Provocative !

Damn! All they need is a few red lights and we can send vaginmac in undercover to buy ladygirl drinks.

Sometimes its the small things that you don't see. If you look at the picture of the plants in the greenhouse and the tiles on the floor. The grout between the tiles is still white. Any length of time and the grout turns color or goes black. I believe all those plants were flown in just to take pictures of to prove its their land.
