We aren't leading the talks, China is. And if we don't wake up soon and
realize just how much economic power china is going to be weilding in a few
years we are going to end up paying for this ignorance bigtime.

No it's not because the fuck you came first. Then when the shit hit the fan
and made the news, then things changed a little but still not enough. We
had lots of leverage and the possibility to turn NK without them having to
deal with the public aspects of it.

Then put it in iraq and afghanistan and finish this.

It's not about getting even, it's about money. Don't you get it, don't you
see russia today? Clinton primed the economic pump, he did more to
strengthen our position than anyone in recent times. There is a HUGE change
coming in the economic landscape with china coming online and if we don't
play it right it's going to do more damage to the US than you could ever
imagine.

To get what? To get the job of nation building in afghanistan and iraq
while this giant sucking sound from china empties our manufacturing pockets
and increases energy and raw material costs sending us into a major bout of
inflation?
