I hear you doc and how right you are. One thing about us, we are so self absorbed that we don't know or care what is going on in the world.

You tipped us off about China. China is slowly taking over the part of the world that America neglects. They are even more exploitative than the west, but are not hamstrung by "morality" and ethics.

Russia too. China tells undeveloped countries that they can help them. Build a railroad, hiways, a port of course this infrastructure will transport raw materials to ports where they will be loaded on Chinese bound ships. And when the loans they make are not repaid,china swoops in and scoops up the project.

Russia uses it's mercenaries,who back all kinds of murderous, rampaging, raping, thugs, they back whatever force that will allow them to abscond with the resources of that country, be it gold, or rare earth minerals.

Meanwhile American "liberals" kvetch over our 800 military bases world wide, our MIC, our supposed imperialism. Ignoring the fact that each and every one of those bases are there with the consent of the nation, and a Status of Forces Agreement, which they can and have abrogated like Chad and Mali and which Iraq has been considering, except for the threat of ISIS, which is Sunni and considers Shia Iraq to be a heresy.
