Whether the recent agreement holds together or not, the Camp David meeting is a further step in Washington’s strategy of inserting tensions, instability and continuing provocations in the region in an attempt to block China’s development and its growing regional trade with its neighbors. Washington is attempting to distract from the economic decline of the U.S. by asserting its military dominance in the Pacific.
U.S. corporations are the main beneficiaries of a policy that obstructs Japan’s and South Korea’s trade with China. China’s huge economy is a major market for their products, thus aiding the economies of its two neighbors. According to the Wilson Center, China is the top trading partner of more than 120 countries, including Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines and Australia. U.S. corporate interests are consumed with the task of how to reverse this economic reality and contain China, especially in the Asia-Pacific region.
This new Camp David military pact follows Washington’s revival and upgrading of the QUAD — the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue among four countries: the U.S., India, Australia and Japan. The Quad holds joint military exercises that openly target China.
Illegal unilateral restrictions. Sanctions would've been sanctioned by the UN.
I'd love some copium about what parts of your precious circus of international "law" you wish to recognize now, illustrating exactly why it's a circus, please.
Yeah, but… you can’t just expect a capitalist empire to simply not illegally sanction somebody. Not only does that make absolutely no sense, but it is completely, outrageously unfair. I mean, do you have any idea how much effort that would take? To not sanction somebody?
The sanctions on Russia, Haiti, Cuba, N. Korea, and dozens of others are completely their responsibility and expecting them to be the ones to lift the sanctions is perfectly logical. In fact, they’re basically all sanctioning themselves. If anything, America is the real victim in this situation!
