So that linear upward trend is irrelevant because some of the month's number are generalized?
and he used the years he states, to discuss exactly your point of "it's easy to come out of a recession(paraphrase)
Again my entire point was to Endless "Obama did nothing to help the economy"

if you think that china's rise isnt due to corporations shipping jobs over there where there was minimal protections instead of working with gov to come up with incentives to manufacture at home, you are wrong. for over 20 years these investments were pouring into china which accelerated its growth and because they are forward thinking, everyone else is going to pay the price.

why are you arguing with me when i am agreeing with you on china's rise and need to be placed in check? the problem is that cronyism runs western societies that they can just pay people off and nothing will happen.

Oh, ok, thanks for pointing this out. See, this is the reason why it would have been helpful if you had included the link to the article you were talking about from the get go.

I can live with the explanation he gives for using Obama's last 29 months in office. Gotta admit that.
The rest of my criticism still stands though.

I'll agree that Omarr's star is bigger than it should be.

I'll drink some coffee and come back. See if i make sense then.

Trump kind of makes these scandals obsolete and meaningless though. Like why does it matter now because its her sort of thing.

Let me know when we are discussing the same thing. The points I made, have nothing to do with economics. This is about possible military actions by China.
Which ofc, is a damn GOOD reason for the US to tear up the Open Skies treaty.

IF we ever have to react militarily to something China does... we can't really have 38 other countries allowed to make flyover reconnaissance flights of the US , now can we? Quite a few of those other countries might be sympathetic towards China and it's... plans.


/e Or may be "forced" by China, to be sympathetic to China's... plans.



/ee I really hope we don't have a WWIII. But if we do, it'll necessarily be called World War Thlee.

If we really have WW3 don’t worry about all this you will be nuclear slag

but it does have everything to do with economics man, china is only where it is today because corporations went through to invest in that country, bringing china to its capabilities today. The wealth transfer was directly out of local pockets to china. Do you not think that a country's capacity for war and machines of war also comes from the ability to thrive economically? the western world and everyone looking to exploit china for cheap manufacturing is responsible for investments and aggressive growth in their infrastructure.

now that china has been handed that wealth what do you expect them to do? The USA does the same thing. The military complex to protect national security but also to secure resources and pose influence. China wants to be able to do the same and is doing it. The problem is the west is too busy fighting themselves to notice that they are part of the ones who created the problem.....

No. China wants to rule the world. Big difference. This isn't about influence, it's about total control.

Same for US but this time is over. China is the new threat. China is worse.
