In a border dispute between the PRC and India, both of which are trading partners of ours, we have zero reason to get involved in picking sides.

What do you want us to do? Send in the 82nd Airborne and back up the Indians?

Maybe the 82nd Globalists will recognize a screw up and return to manufacturing in the US.

I don't hate America. I just think we can do better. I just believe we should take advantage of the geographic position we have in this world that the Founding Fathers were well aware of, in that, we have oceans on our east and west that separate us from the trivial fighting of Europe and the complexities of the Far East.

There is nothing said from the Founding Fathers about being a third party mediator, even with troubled Europe and the Far East. Obviously, it was a little more complicated in those times as the world was different and communications took far longer to get hither and dither. But, I don't think being completely reclusive was their intention either. We are a world leader and have been for over a century. I wouldn't think the Founding Fathers would object to this nation, especially in light of how powerful we are, taking a lead role in negotiating a peaceful solution to a problem between two other nations. Especially nations we trade heavily with. The first action is to let the two work it out. But if we must get involved (when we get involved), we do it from the disinterested standpoint.

Regardless, I doubt this will get as crazy as some think. Both countries have far more to lose economically if they start trading serious blows back and forth. And I doubt either one want to risk that with a small strip of land or building a roadway.

You are correct. They believed in engaging in free commerce and trade with other nations, but not getting bogged down in regional squabbles on foreign lands.

If it wasn't what they claimed, the state auditors would have shut them down or taken some kind of action. Trust your govt regulators... :crazy:

This is the last thing we need in East Asia. We no longer come from a position of strength, and we really don't need Trump and Bannon involved in this. They are too volatile and unpredictable to be trusted with being a third party negotiator. Some how, they will screw this up. Trump might stick it to China because they wouldn't purchase his latest hotel or his daughter's trash products.

We no longer come from a position of strength, man does that statement say a TON about what Obama did to this country in 8 years.

Bush was a complete tool but at least we were still the world power under that moron. Obama turned us into a weak willed country that shakes hands and bows down with Middle Eastern countries that behead our citizens, burn our flag and celebrate any American death.

Much thanks to you and the other liberal weaklings.

You took the words right out of my mouth. The last thing the world needs is an eruption from the geopolitical bubbling caldron while Trump is president. Such an event would likely spin out in the directions of all kinds of horrible consequences for us all.

Lulz. Talking about India and China fighting and you cry about Trump. He dictates your life.

You know China manufacturers his daughters trash products, the Chinese buy very little of said products.

Trying to figure out what Saudi Arabia has to do with a border dispute between China and India.

Also, why this post even got a like other than the usual suspect mouthbreathers around here. Or it's Septic egging on said mouthbreathing from others.

I know my car's BS detector (the one that measures mpg) has a definite dislike for ethanol. Shell stations are on my list of never again after generally registering a few mpg less than any other.

Ever think of the similarity between Butch following Dooley and Trump having to pick up after Obama? Of course, Trump has a lot more Negas (the Dims, the press - redundant I know, ...).

It was meant to be a response to Big Orange Train about the last eight years of Obama weakening our international stance by hanging out with Muslim countries, when Trump fell right in line with every modern President.

The Chinese workers can't buy a lot of what they make. However, we're funding a heck of a Chinese military with all the Chinese stuff we buy.

We aren't funding it. The Chinese are taking out loans to pay for it. It doesn't help them that their economy is slowing. Every time the Chinese economy enters bad territory the Chinese Government looks for a boogie man to take the peoples mind off of it. Last couple years it was Japan. Now it's India.

I always wondered if it was really ethanol free, and considered sending a sample off for testing. I did check my mileage with it, and got about 10% better mpg than the 10% ethanol.

It has long been believed that the next country to be involved in a nuclear exchange would be India. Most fear it will be with Pakistan over their border disputes before it will with their disputes with china. But with the new developments in North Korea, they could be involved in the next round. Very interesting times we are living in.

And just for the record, I see a China/India conflict being less likely right now than the two sorting all of this out on their own. This conflict would in the long term not be worth the blood or treasure of either side.

a lot of Chinese industries aren't profitable. especially some of the major/large scale manufacturers. The government is forcing them to stay open and sell stuff under cost.
