View Full Version : China slams Rex Tillerson

:lmao poor Rex. Love him but boy did he let his tongue slip by promising to stop China from accessing the islands in the S China sea :lol

China just said if he tries that its war and all nuclear options are on the table

Shit is about to get real :wow

http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1028568.shtml


Nominee for US secretary of state Rex Tillerson uttered astonishing statements during his confirmation hearing with the Senate on Wednesday. He likened China's island-building in the South China Sea to "Russia's taking of Crimea," and said the new US government would send China a clear signal that "first the island building stops, and second your access to those islands is also not going to be allowed."

Due to his intimate relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Tillerson is the most controversial candidate among President-elect Donald Trump's nominees for his cabinet and is considered the one most likely to be vetoed by the Senate.

It is suspected that he merely wanted to curry favor from senators and increase his chances of being confirmed by intentionally showing a tough stance toward China.

Tillerson did not give details of how he would achieve his self-proclaimed goals. Nonetheless, he also mentioned that Chinese and American economic interests are deeply intertwined and that "China has been a valuable ally in curtailing elements of radical Islam." He noted that "We should not let disagreements over other issues exclude areas for productive partnership."

It is not clear which point, among the many he made, he will prioritize. But it is worth looking at his remarks that China should not be allowed access to the islands, since this is the most radical statement from the US side so far.

China has enough determination and strength to make sure that his rabble rousing will not succeed. Unless Washington plans to wage a large-scale war in the South China Sea, any other approaches to prevent Chinese access to the islands will be foolish.

The US has no absolute power to dominate the South China Sea. Tillerson had better bone up on nuclear power strategies if he wants to force a big nuclear power to withdraw from its own territories. Probably he just has oil prices and currency rates in his mind as former ExxonMobil CEO.

The CT op ed also stated Tillerson's harsh words are just coaxing the Senate Foreign Relations Committee [for confirmation] which would suggest that shit isn't about to get real.

Wtf are you reading, that country still is swarming with all sorts of groups. The larger cities are a complete rubble mess now.
Control of rubble...
Even if Assad was in control of the entire country, it would not be liberated as a butcher would be in control.

Understand this:
As long as Iran has a say in that country, which it does, Assad is under two thumbs. Iran has groups on the ground. Russia has the air. Now add Turkey. That's 3 thumbs. You think this is some sort of liberation? You got 3 different countries gonna run your shit.

Assad can only bring about stable butchery in part of Syria. And stable butchery in the ME is very tenuous, even without interference from the West. Stable butchery also helps in the genesis of new types of movements and young disillusioned men IMO. Egypt is a milder example now.It is however nice that controlled portions of Syria and Egypt would be less likely to become training grounds.

So should we be aiding in Iraq now trying to impose stability? As an aside...

Exactly. The US was always better served to cordon off the area and let them go at it themselves. It's difficult though, because you have Turkey, Russia, China, etc all hopping in and trying to get their hands on the oil, but with the US having it's newlyfound oil bonanza, it makes little sense to get involved. The biggest issue, IMO, is Israel trying to drag out asses in there. This is an area where our relationship with Israel gets tiresome.

And where D id I say US intervention had not led to people dying? Where?

We Fd up big time under Bush when he and Cheney were told they would need over 300,000 troops to help the country after we had destroyed its institutions and some infrastructure for civilians. They decided with a number that was absolutely ridiculous. We might have had to eventually split the country and oil revenues among the different factions which would have been super costly. It might have worked, it might not have, we will never know because it was done half assed.

Not enough troops! (gets to Baghdad in a week on foot).

In comes Obama... "time to leave, hey neighbors, we're pulling out, come kill these idiots we trained and oh, here's 400 million for coke money".

They could not secure weapon caches all over the country. There was no lawful presence in many cities. Just go back and read about the aftermath in the first place. It was done half assed because it could not sell full ahead.

Its not about just getting to Baghdad. Jesus, you are older than I am and you don't even read or understand.

I dont buy your apparent thinking that all it required is not pulling out. Do it overwhelmingly in the first place. Hell, it might not even have worked then.
Yes. My opinion. We are all arm chair QBs.

You figured out how many terms Obama served in the Illinois senate yet?

:lol losing to a reality TV show star

He didn't complete his third term.

AFAIK Obama was never challenged by a reality tv star. Was that when he was running for the Illinois state senate?

Obama ran on the platform of setting a deadline for withdrawal.

And you voted for that platform. :lol

Is this your bad faith retort? What's your point, that I am somehow at fault?

Doesn't matter, he still served 3 terms else all the records are lying.

Your candidate was beaten by a reality TV star.

Of course you're not at fault. But, you voted for a candidate that campaigned on setting a deadline for withdrawal from Iraq. He won and did exactly that. Now you're whining about it like a pussy. Hindsight's 20/20.

Damn if I don't look at the once empty spot at my side and D is again present & accounted for. The tears on my pillow bespeaked the pain that had been in my heart.

If you were a Bernie person, your candidate was cucked by someone who was beaten by a reality TV star. That's even worse.

Then you agree it wasn't GWB's troop count, rather the early withdrawal that exacerbated the issue?

You're trying to introduce a red herring but the issue is whether GWB or Obama is at fault, not who voted for whom. I voted for both.

Both you and I know that's not the case Mr New Chemical Entity by country. :lol You were trying so hard to back up your arguement with empirical data after completely shitting your pants arguing for absolute zero forced wealth transfer.

The invasion of Iraq was a mistake.
disbanding the Iraqi army was a mistake
withdrawing troops too early was a mistake

But yeah. What's important is establishing whether it was Bush's or Barry's fault.

Fucking simpleton.
