it was a good thing in that a USA friendly nuclear power with a long border with russia and a huge military would be a thorn in the foot of the soviet union. china tips the balance of power to one side or the other
and this remains true, in fact, it's even more truer today. china trades their junk product for dollars to buy oil to make more junk product to trade for more dollars. china is rich and getting richer and they have a vested interest in propping up the USA, which on its own merits would just be one giant detroit in no time at all. but what if china decides the USA is a sick lost cause, the ottoman empire of the 21st century? maybe they trade junk for oil with russia instead, becoming energy dependent on russia, cutting the USA out of the equation? this could easily be the end of the USA as we know it. guys like nixon and kissinger are thinking about the big picture in world affairs. china was and is the big picture On Tue, Jan 28, 2014 at 8:59 PM, Dwight Giles <dwight.gi...@gmail.com>wrote: > I used to have one after Nixon opened up trade with China.
