United States Of Stupid & China.

Al Salamu 'Alaykum.

The United States of Stupid just won’t learn. Talk of biting the hand that feeds you.

The latest enemy in the eyes of the world’s biggest thug is China. Barack Obama wants to “counter” China’s growing influence in Asia. So, he is sending 250 US marines on 6 month tours  "down under" (to Australia) starting next summer. Understandably, China is not amused. In typically subdued Chinese fashion, Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin questioned whether expanding the military alliance (with Oz)“is in line with the common interest” of countries in the region. And the best part is that China is that self-same country where Hillary Clinton made a pitch for buying up more US debt.

Not only the Chinese but even Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul spoke out against this amazingly dumb move by the American Prez.  He made some pertinent comments: “We are so broke and there’s no hesitation with this administration or with previous administrations to continue to go in more and more countries,” Paul said. “My position has been very clear, we spend way too much money overseas, it’s a good place to start bringing the troops home from around the world.”

Paul said Obama does not agree with the stance of bringing U.S. troops home that are based internationally.

“He thinks we need more troops spread around the world. So he’s over in Australia, promising to send thousands of our troops to Australia. Why do we have to occupy Australia? I mean what’s going on? He said well maybe the Chinese will attack us. The Chinese are our banker, they’re not going to attack us— you know it’s not going to happen,” Paul said.

By the way, recently the US envoy to India called both China and India the “enemy”. So I guess that soon they will be sending some of their troops to one of our neighboring countries.
