The Swiss are only seconded by the Canadians as being the most vile war-hungry, blood-thirsty people.

And they have our oil.

Well, I suppose you could be the Swiss (the good Germans) and hold all the bank accounts.

But we should invade them anyway and take all their clocks.

That's good, that way, they''ll never know when time runs out.
The only thing that bothers me, is that the, (bad Germans) have their gold, 'somewhere' in the US and when they ask for it back, the US just say, "wery interlesting, Ve hev to think about thet"

Since Obama & Hillary & DNC & RNC also supply weapons to America's enemies (that would be both Al Qaeda & ISIS), it's a good time to be one of America's enemies... especially the ones who love to blow **** up.

Dont worry uncle sam still the biggest weapons dealer in the world .

Whew.

I was worried there for a second.

I was scratching my head over this one, then realized the comments are from "Chinese media" and the quote is from a professor, not directly from the govt. It is also reported in a Russian paper. I think it is a reminder to America that China and Russia sell weapons to Iran and if the United States starts to anger any countries who are not buying from China/Russia, then China will be happy to sell weapons to those countries. China would be happy to find new markets in Central/South America, Eastern Europe, or Central Asia.

The arms business certainly is a complex undertaking.

China to supply weapons to USA's enemies

And vice versa.

I am fairly certain it is nothing new.

Exactly. It's our policy to sell weapons to China's neighbors specifically to "contain" China. We've even been trying to drive a wedge between India and China for the same reason.

China sells weapons to anyone with the cash to buy them.

There's no ideological or geopolitical goals behind Chinese arms sales.

I think China and India are mostly to blame for that wedge...

Not that the US won't take advantage of it, mind you.

Don't forget that India and China are 2 of the main members of BRICS. Just this year, Indian media was even reporting on the West's attempts to drive a wedge between them and China (like THIS, THIS, THIS, and THIS). I tried to find links to separate newspapers to point out that it wasn't just a single network like a "Fox News" reporting on it. And just yesterday, they agreed to step up their military ties (HERE).

There are also a ton of articles concerning Pres Obama's "pivot" to Asia and how it's intentionally trying to pull China's neighbors away from it. I don't think that Pres Obama and Indian Prime Minister Modi started getting so close by coincidence.

".. rebuild the (fill in name of der 'fatherland' here) military such as has never seen before."

If we don't learn from history...
