Oh, don't be so mean to us small countries from SEA.
Then play nice.
Taken together we represent the most productive section of the World.
But you arent. It means diddly sqwat. So it is like saying if Russia, Europe and Asia were together. What then.
And if you have regional ambitions you better start courting us since we are a formidable bloc.
Nope you arent a bloc, whoever we want from your side of the world, is already with us. So Malaysia, you can court yourself.
BTW, if you want to be recognised and respected as a superpower (which is what you want judging from your dream of parity, your preferred term is "equality," with US) in Asia,
Who said anything about Asia.
you better start treating us smaller countries with respect (we don't yearn for "equality") because we can give you headaches if you don't.
I like the way you all of a sudden went to 'our' region. Its not yours. Now all of a sudden you want to be 'EQUAL'
And unlike the Islamist cesspool that is Malaysia, we already have countries in that part of the region as our allies, and we do see them equally and do give them their space. To be honest, nobody in the region actually like you. But no malaysian is going to come to an Indian forum, start dictating, be sarcastic and use smiliey's on an Indian forum, you dont have the capacity to cash that cheque.
Just note at what's happening to China in our region after it start elbowing our smaller neighbors. 8
And regarding what is happening to China, we are there to give you support, without us, you are just a fly to be sqwated by the Chinese. US is there for you today, and it will most probably be us tomorrow along with them. India unlike the US do see each other with equality and compassion. We take that quite seriously.
