[When Sen. James Webb] opines that the United States is ‘approaching a Munich moment with China’ in the South China Sea, it’s worth taking his words seriously.

Sorry, I can't take this no-class hot head seriously, no matter how much Puff Po style press the MSM runs for him.

The real 'Munich Moment' is taking place in the US treasury.

America's finances look a lot like Germany's did in the pre-Adolf years.

Oh come now, let's not over-react!

I'm sure the new Chinese aircraft carrier will prove invaluable for humanitarian aid missions.

Yeah...precisely mine own sentiment.

The PRC has not been busy transforming it's "brown water navy" into a "blue water navy just for a review/regatta.

It is not America's job to check China. They are overburdened as is. Bush would do no different than what is done now.

There ARE no forces that can oppose China - case in point: Libya.

If they can't beat Ghaddafi Duck, then who the &!$# COULD they beat?

Libertarian, someone had BETTER check China. Any nation that acts like an octopus the way it does should be watched like a hawk.

I said this after a few days when Obama won the election. My only surprise is that it hasn't happened sooner.
I figure China didn't want America to default over its loans. The time is coming where they won't care. They will suck Taiwan's prosperity away, like a kid does a milkshake.
Obama will kiss them away as he has every ally while bowing to his Nations enemies.

China's neighbors will have to check China. They are doing so by buying lots of military stuff particularly subs.

Is there anything short of ALL WAR ALL THE TIME that isn't Munich redux in the neocon worldview?

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
