Is that Chinese for lebensraum?

Catfish · 03-30-14, 03:55 PM

You can call it Lebensraum, or war against terrorism.
After all, it is always about resources

I guess the Celestials decided if Russia can do it with Crimea, they can do it where ever they feel like it too

That stuff predates the Crimea stuff by quite a bit. So if anything it is the other way around.

Anyhow, China's logic is might = right, which is pretty well founded in history as being true.

Ha! Up yours, China.

I read a great article about that outpost last year and have always wondered about the fate of her crew. Here's the link if you're interested:
