A few days ago, I posted the following under "worst presidents of USA". In view of recent development and tension, I think it is appropriate to post this independently so that we have knowledge and are informed of what is going on:
OBAMA CALLS OUT BULLY NATION:
http://edition.cnn.com/2016/05/2 ... hina-sea/index.html
Obama visited Vietnman this week to lift the ban on arms sale to Vietnam, then called out the "bully nation" (meaning China) in his speech.
Obama got it right EXCEPT he should mention that the bully nation is USA.
In an effort to contain China, USA is stirring up the issue of island dispute, using Philippines and Vietnam to do USA's dirty work.
If Obama had just studied a little of history, he should know that these islands have always a part of Chinese territories.
During the days of USA's colonization of Philippines (USA didn't want the world to know or be reminded of this history), USA declared the territories of RP, listing the longtitudes and latitudes as boundaries. The islands are OUTSIDE these coordinates. RP has NO claim on these islands.
Shortly after the WW-II, National Chinese Government had troops on the islands and there were never arguments. Why now? You guessed it, USA doesn't want China to have them, because that could choke the vital sea lanes in the event of a war.
It was only after the discovery of perhaps vast oil reserves and USA's desire to contain China, that there were voices of territorial claims, backed by USA, of course.
Two more examples of USA's ignorance and stupidity:
1. Ryuku Islands, (the Japs call them Okinawa), were annexed to Japan after the first war between Ching Dynasty and Japan, and according to Japan's WW-II's surrender, ALL previously ill-gotten lands must be returned to their rightful owners. Taiwan was returned, but Okinawa was placed under USA's administrative rule. About 15 years ago, USA unilaterally decided to give Okinawa to Japan.
Who gave USA the right to take from China and give to Japan, WITHOUT consulting either one of the Chinese Governments?
That action was equivalent to awarding an aggressor and further penalizing the victim!
2. Diaoyu Island has always been part of Taiwan, even in Japan's published map of Taiwan during the occupation days of Taiwan, when Taiwan was returned to Nationalist China after WW-II, automatically Diaoyu Island was returned.
The Island was small with no water supply and therefore was never inhabited, but in the 50's and 60's, USA Navy used the island for target practice, but USA asked for permission first. If the island does not belong to China/Nationalist China, why did USA ask for permission from Taiwan??
So, the bully nation is not only USA but it is also trying to re-define national boundaries, to its benefits!
USA is the strongest country in the world but has it displayed any leadership?
What if USA keeps pushing China and Russia resulting in a nuclear conflict? What if this pushing forces China and Russia to join hands militarily, that would really be "catch a worm and place it in your ass"!
