And who do u think we'd back...we'll back any scumbag as long as they further our interests...as does everybody else. The chinese are stripping africa of her natural wealth and that will eventually come back to bite them. Incidently while china is playing their games in Africa, we're doing the same....training all the military forces...roads and mines are great but u can't use them if there are troops holding the roads....troops trained by US Green Berets. U guys can't dismiss what Parker is saying, the Chinese got their asses kicked the last time they sent troops anywhere...1979 in Vietnam. They would much prefer the economic approach.
And yes Jag....i would have very little chance if I was swarmed by kids....they tend to take all ur shit.
It's sad, as a black American, I can't stand another literally raping of Africa's Natural Resources, but the greedy leaders of African countries asked for it.
But as I said, once they realize what's going on, and the Muslim Militants start their rhetoric, because, the Sudan, Somalia region is big on that, and they will see China as another America...shit will fly. Only a matter of time when the pot comes a boiling temperature. And take in the fact that Obama is half Kenyan, you have situation your hands...
Also it was brought to the attention of some African countries that China didn't get involved in the Piracy issue until their boats were being seized. Again China's ignorance in this reason may very well be their undoing.
So you have these parties involved:
China= Stripping African Natural Resources, not battle hardened
African nations=Crooked leaders selling Natural Resources, like the W. Africans sold their kin, but populations that can be a ruthless as Killer bees
US= Battle Hardened, already fighting a war in 2 countries, and watching what China is doing
Muslim Militants= Can stir up the National, Religious, and Racial emotions of the African populace.
and a President who is Half East African (Kenyan)
