Looks like you know today is 19/12/2012, not late 30s and 40s. Bent over? Kid, you should learn somthing from real history. At least have a check who surrendered after 8 years bloody war. You can argue that China didn't win the war by itself. But it is no doubt that China didn't bend over.Today's date: 19 December 2012.
Japan also came to China in late 30s and 40s, and China just dropped her pants and bent over. World has changed a lot since then
Yes, US can send any country in the world back to the stone age in 7 days. But meanwhile China can make sure the major part of US becomes unsuitable for people to live.US can send any country in the world back to the stone age in 7 days in a conventional war. You can keep smoking the good stuff.
Bringing down a regime needs a land invasion and a drawn out occupation.You are the one who need to keep smoking the good stuff. How long did it take to bring down Saddam and Taliban? 7 days? In your wet dream. Fanboy
Wake up an smell the coffee. While the Japanese lost the war, that was because of the US and not China, final nail being the nukes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.Looks like you know today is 19/12/2012, not late 30s and 40s.

China is not in a position to start nuclear war with America. 200-300 warheads on suspect delivery platforms v/s 8000+ warheads is just not feasible.Yes, US can send any country in the world back to the stone age in 7 days.

By the way, we are talking about india here. Does india have that power too? An indian brags US power to a Chinese, well done!
Would you believe, in his last visit in September, Blake even held a press conference and a round table with the "civil society" in Maldives, affirming the US' resolve to be a "stakeholder" in peace and stability of Maldives, no matter the domestic politics there.
Interestingly, Blake's September visit coincided with the fateful move by the "international community" to ease the pressure on the Maldivian authorities to return to the democratic path and the rule of law. It stands to reason that Washington and London are acting in tandem.
Unsurprisingly, UN secretary general Ban Ki Moon also lost no time endorsing the CONI report. One has to be a total duffer not to see that the US was pulling the strings. After having struck a deal with the current regime in Male, the US needs to legitimise the regime so that the deal enjoys legitimacy. The Faustian deal opens the path for the US Navy to access Gan.
Besides, will Delhi want to stage a coup that defies American strategic interests? No way. Alas, how can India be a serious player in its region if it can't read the tea leaves correctly in this tiny island of 3 lakh people? There has been a massive intelligence failure and all the shrieks from the hot tin roof that the "Chinese are coming", "Al-Qaeda is coming" is not going to obfuscate that plain truth. Why do such disasters happen?
The answer is simple. As the ancient sage Manu advised : Stick to your varna. The spook is a spook and should behave like one. Also, the media should know its primary duty is to disseminate reliable information — and certainly not to play footsie to paymasters in the intelligence.
And, last, but not the least, there needs to be an awareness that diplomacy is also a profession which requires skills and expertise and it is an idiotic assumption that any one who knows English is au fait with foreign affairs and diplomacy.
The heart of the matter is that myths were propagated to cover up the intelligence failure; and the ubiquitous al-Qaeda factor was deliberately brought in. The result is plain to see. Forever will India build hospitals and primary health centres in Maldives — and forever will Chinese tourists flock to that heavenly spot on earth — while Uncle Sam rules the roost.
Yes, you can say US won the war for us. But the point is we fought Japanese ALONE for 5 YEARS before USA came in and we didn't bend over.Wake up an smell the coffee. While the Japanese lost the war, that was because of the US and not China, final nail being the nukes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
If it hadn't been for the US, you all would be speaking Japanese and doing karate instead of kung fu.
That is true! But, when USA tries to sent China back to stone age, do you think China has other option?China is not in a position to start nuclear war with America. 200-300 warheads on suspect delivery platforms v/s 8000+ warheads is just not feasible.
No, US does see India as a threat even though it doesn't claim publicly! Actually, US see anyone with potential to challenge her regional dominance as a threat: China, india, brazil, etc.US does not see India as a threat, and even China (militarily). Its the geo-politics and economics that makes US see China as a threat, not India.
