“New Chinese fighters and tankers have almost caught up to Western technology, particularly air-to-air missiles, radars and linked command and control systems.”

That’s the result of our “free trade” policy with them. They would never have been able to develop the technological nor industrial base to develop that technology without importing it from the west. Their repressive system kills the kind of creativity needed to develop an advanced technology. So they import it from the west.

“The US is quietly gearing up for war with China over Taiwan, Japan and the South China Sea. …….
China’s new, accurate DF26 3,000-4.000 km-range ballistic missile – known as the “Guam Killer” – was designed to knock out Guam with conventional or nuclear warheads….
…
Xi Jinping reasserted that China’s rise was totally peaceful and threatened no one (excluding Taiwan and Japan’s China Sea islands). But it’s clear that China is determined to own most of the China Sea and is doing to by turning islets into permanent aircraft carriers. ”

The U.S. needs to get out of Asia and let Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Australia go nuclear. That’ll really have the Red Chinese crapping in their pants. Plus, it will get the U.S. out of harm’s way. So long as the U.S. is committed to defending Asia, U.S. cities are at nuclear risk should the U.S. find itself in a conflict with nuclearly-armed China. It’s way too easy to get out of hand. Plus, war is much more likely in the current arrangement because China is much more likely to under-estimate U.S. resolve to defend Asia half-way around the world from us then it would be to under-estimate Japan’s, Taiwan’s, South Korea’s or Australia’s resolve to defend themselves from a direct threat to their existence. Conflict is more likely in the absence of Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and Australia having nukes.

“China has reached its rightful place in the sun after four hundred years of being raped, looted and sneered at. Good show. Now let’s all pray that power does not go to China’s head. But this war horse fears it may.”

Yeah, likely it will. Better that we not be there and that Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and Australia have the capability to defend themselves. Let’s not forget the 60 million or so holocausted by Mao and the Communists. (See “Death By Government” by R.J. Rummel.) China’s done its share of raping itself.

What’s HBD?

“then threw a grenade at the family”

Then why wasn’t the family killed or wounded?

“For two thousand years Jews lived in relative peace in Arab lands.”

Yeah, under Arab and Islamic oppression.

“A Zionist cannot be honest. Never ever be a friend of a Zionist Jew – he is a con man and will use you – that is his culture, that is his nature – end of story.”

Here’s some search terms: psychology projection. A bit shrill, are you?

They justify the killings of Rachel Corrie

Last I recall, she threw herself in front of a bulldozer or refused to get out of the way and it was still moving slowly. She was playing the martyrdom game and surprise surprise, she got “martyred”.

All of that said, as a committed anti-interventionist, I have to believe both that what goes on between Israel and the Palestinians should pretty much be none of our business but for the fact that a powerful domestic lobby has forced us to be involved.

I agree.

Jews and Arabs probably would have resolved their differences by now if Washington had not coddled corrupt Palestinian leaders while simultaneously empowering Israel to make a lot of bad choices.

The U.S. holds Israel back. With the U.S. out of the picture, the Arab, Islamic, Palestinian oppressors would understand that and reach some reasonable accommodations. They know damned well they can be as aggressive, oppressive, repressive and unreasonable as they want and the U.S. will protect them from Israel.

Palestinians under Israeli occupation have higher mean life expectancy, lower child mortality, higher per capita income than the Middle East average. None of the examples of oppression cited by this author are anything other than routine in Arab countries. The likelihood is that an independent Palestine would decline to the regional average, as, indeed Gaza has done since Israel left.

Diaspora Jews call these sorts of arguments “racism” when whites say them about blacks in America. Then they go and deploy the very same arguments against the Palestinians, and throw gobs of money and political clout at the Israelis.

Yeah, but is it TRUE? The Gazans have been pretty much sovereign for last few decades, as have the West Bank Palestinians. Why haven’t they established a libertarian society? They’ve had plenty of opportunity to do that in the territory they control. Why haven’t they? They’d have a lot more credibility had they tried to establish any degree of freedom. But they haven’t.

as long as the american veto and military got it’s back, israel would continue to do whatever it wants.

The U.S. holds Israel back. If the U.S. was out of the picture, then Israel would be free to do whatever it needed to do to resolve the situation. The Palestinians would realize that and learn to make accommodations rather than aggress against Israel knowing the U.S. would no longer hold Israel back.

So if not for the unbearable conditions Israel has imposed on them, Palestinians might realistically be expected to contribute to the world as much as any other of the Arabs. Let’s see, there’s algebra, zero, the decimal numbering and place value system. They invented the harp, lyre, zither, drum, tambourine, flute, oboe and bagpipe. You know, there weren’t a lot of symphonies written by inmates of Nazi concentration camps, either.

The Palestinians have had internal political sovereignty over Gaza and the West Bank for decades now. That’s hardly a concentration camp. Why haven’t they implemented a libertarian society where they could? Why haven’t they elected any libertarians when they could? Why haven’t they implemented any freedom even if not the radical libertarian variety, or elected anyone who supports freedom even if not the radical libertarian variety?

If it serves Jewish/Zionist interests, Jews will make every inch of the ‘Muslim World’ uninhabitable.

Don’t ever forget that. Remember that the next time you advocate Palestinian, Arab, Islamic aggression and oppression of the Jews. Remember that the next time you demonize Jews.

And if it leads to a massive refugee crisis that undermines Europe, Jews don’t care.
They just giggle with hideous glee at the fall of the the white race.

“hideous glee”? Any references for that or is that your own Jew-hatred speaking? Here’s some search terms for you: psychology projection. Ye protesteth too much.

Before you advocate oppression of the Jews, remember the part above about “every inch” and “uninhabitable”. That’s the only thing you oppressors will ever understand – Israeli nukes. Don’t ever forget it.

Ron Paul throughout his long career has been such a disgraceful failure on immigration policy

What’s that got to do with anything? Failure? Let’s have some references please. Show me where he’s been worse than anyone else.

on purpose, by Jewish controlled EU politicians, using the war as a pretext.

Got some references for that? Or is that just irrational Jew-hatred speaking? Remember, Israel has nukes. We won’t go down next time, you will. Let that be a warning to you anti-Jewish aggressors and oppressors. Don’t bring it on. The Jews are right and you’re wrong. That’s absolute fact. Remember, the Jews have NUKES! You don’t listen to reason. Nukes are the only language you’ll understand.

but there is a clear reluctance on the part of many to even consider any common sense approaches for keeping guns out of the hands of the incompetent or homicidal. National background checks for buyers with a sunset provision so the information is not retained by the government beyond thirty days might be a possible place to start.

That’s because of self-righteousness of the gun-control movement and the lack of trust of it. The history of gun-control is all about steps toward prohibition, gathering of lists etc. People sense that the real aim is prohibition.

Gun-control advocates have gotten wise and now refrain from public calls for prohibition, but they don’t fool anyone. They can’t help themselves so instead, they talk of “reducing” the number of guns in society. Their focus is predominantly on guns, not reducing the incidence of homicide per se – “gun” violence rather than violence in general. So people rightly conclude that their real hidden agenda is prohibition or prohibitory regulation.

Regarding sun-setting of data, the FBI and the BATF have repeatedly tried to save background check data. There would have to be a special inspector general’s office with powers greater than the FBI and BATFE that ensures the destruction of data. But none of the gun-control advocates would ever advocate that, because that would close the door on prohibition, which is their ultimate goal.

Gun-controllers are going to have to earn peoples’ trust. Repealing gun-control laws in return for enactment of others, having concrete measures protecting firearms ownership, and supporting nationwide concealed carry even in movie theaters and schools would be a good start.

If all guns – by which I mean all in the hands of civilians and most of it from the militarised police force – were magically removed, what is the likely outcome?

“magically” That says it all.

The armoury at home is why non-Hispanic whites have a homicide rate lower than in the UK. The U.S. is actually safer than the U.K. in the non-Hispanic white areas.

Do a search on: Pew Research gun firearm ownership white Hispanic black. You’ll see that whites’ firearm ownership is about twice the incidence as black and non-Hispanic whites. Then do a search on: FBI UCR homicides by race Also search: BOP Bureau of Prisons incarceration murder homicide Hispanic white black. You’ll see that the vast majority of homicides are committed by blacks and Hispanics. If one subtracts those homicides or adjusts the percentages, one finds that the homicide rate in non-Hispanic white U.S. is lower than the homicide rate in the U.K.

It is because of our personal armouries. The policy you advocate puts us at risk. The data clearly shows that the higher the incidence of firearms ownership the lower the incidence of homicide.

Hard policing is the answer

You mean oppression. The armoury at home is far superior.

2 plus million victims of American aggression

Victims of American aggression? How about all those massacred by the NVA and VC. The Americans went there to save the Vietnamese from communist aggression. With 20/20 hindsight, I don’t think the U.S. should have gotten involved since it never was in our national security interests.

But don’t go excusing the VC and NVA murderers. Read the writings of Ho Chi Minh and Mao Tse Tung where they justify terrorism as a legitimate tool of the revolution. Murder of civilians by the VC and NVA is well-documented.

Where’s freedom of speech in South Vietnam today. North Vietnam was aggressing upon the south and finally imposed a communist dictatorship which exists today. When South Vietnam and Vietnam generally is free, then talk to me about American aggression.
