wouldn't China's economy tank if they seperated from the US in fact, why would China even care? The source sounds dubious
why the fuck would china drop bonds why do people think that china gets pushed around by russia
[QUOTE=Mechanical43;44305744]you wouldn't think that china would actually want to cripple the US dollar in an economic war... this analysis makes me dubious ??[/QUOTE] china isn't fond of the US by any means, weakening of the US would be something they would want, if they could away with it with no/minimal consequences that is. remember china considers south/east asia as their sphere of influence, and they see the US as "Meddling" in it.

[QUOTE=laserguided;44307295]This crisis is good for China, it lessens any US presence in their vicinity.[/QUOTE] Actually, its strengthening US presence in the area. Just economically it shows that the US is still a power house to not fuck with.

[QUOTE=Jrose14;44306545]Did it ever truly end?[/QUOTE] 1-Conflicts never end. Except if you are a marxist. 2-Yes, it did end.

Maybe this will be a new instance.

[QUOTE=Silence I Kill You;44305974]Could their visit to strengthen relations be due to china being an ally of Russia? Like a move to try and get china to go against Russia as well? [/QUOTE] They both love Dota though, how can they be enemies.
Last night I had a dream right where I was playing as the UK and USA threw a few nukes at Russia and it all kicked off ending in many places getting devastated but for some reason Edinburgh survived and I don't even live there so I don't know why. The good thing is I had a nuclear submarine hidden with 200 nukes for some reason so I went crazy at the end and smashed Russia with 200 and the world lagged
Should be noted that The Blaze is Glenn Beck's site. Take its articles with a brick of salt.
