Thinking about China

Eggplant: China might have the largest “medically caused” HIV/AIDS epidemic but Africa by far has the worst HIV/AIDS epidemic (the African’s get HIV the old fashioned way).

I sincerely doubt anyone’s going to argue that Africa is an emerging threat to the free world. Hell, Africa can barely tie its own shoelaces. We’re talking about a continent that still has to plead with native populations not to disassemble railroad track plates or pull up rail spikes (for making blades and spear points), because the trains tend to derail.

China, on the other hand, is cruising straight ahead towards a clash of civilizations identical to Islam, only hundreds of times in magnitude.

Again, just like Islam, slapping down China right away could prevent untold future mayhem. As usual, in both cases our corrupt politicians are cheerfully selling us down the river, be it the Euphrates or Yangtze.
