CHINA

[gotbeer]

While I don't like it.  This is like the pot calling the kettle black.  

China is actually putting a lot of money exploiting Africa.  It makes sense that they would want to protect their interests.  

It's not like we don't have bases all over the Middle East to protect our interests.

Yeah, China has been making a pretty strong play in sub-Saharan Africa for the last couple of decades. It's a smart move on their part. It's been obvious for some time that they intended to use all of their infrastructure investment there as a platform to expand their sphere of influence globally, which of course. I think the question has always been whether or not it would be a soft/passive economic/political move (massive population growth, insane resource wealth, further diversified shipping routes/opportunities... just provide the development and reap the benefits) or if they would eventually use that influence to create a stronger global military presence in addition to the above.

I feel bad for him because it looks like people won’t call his race victory legit after Blarg took that awful tumble.

How could you tell that it's Blarg and not Adam?

[Blarg]

Fuck off, I have a history of ankle problems you insensitive jerks.

Cause his bad ankle made him fall.

I thought it was the gravitational pull of his girth. 

[Blarg]

I told you both to fuck off.

That was when Blarg was still “in shape”.

True. Now his body that he has been abusing his entire life due to his weak willpower would collapse on itself halfway through the run up.

Slow down Tank, these sixth graders are just discussing China in their own way.
