This is why you see wars (or "war-like activity" with no official war declared) or genocides every 20-40 years or so in history, especially when a country did not sustain heavy losses in the previous war.
    Vietnam was about population control? Huh? Well, now there's a new angle I've never ever heard!

      If we ever get into a war with China it will be our fault. We're the expansionist power and the ideological zealot in that pairing.

      China's the big guy in the freshman dorm who just wants to be left alone. The US is the snotty, entitled frat pledge who's always looking for a fight.

      Russia's the messed up kid who gets kicked out mid-semester for dealing.

          Flagged. Zippy was great because it was surreal. Flaggy is just repetitive. At best, Flaggy is Zippy as drawn by the guy who did Family Circus.

              The US and China need each other too much, our economies are so grossly intertwined at this point that it would be both political and economic suicide for the two nations to enter into either a cold or hot war, considerations that never existed between us and Soviet Russia in the 1940s.

              As for Russia, they're in Syria because they're an authoritarian people and they long for some semblance of the glory years of their Soviet empire, something most of their leadership still actively remembers. Every time the declared leaders of the world are upended, it creates a great deal of turmoil for the people. The Soviets are ousted from power in the late 80s and early 90s, conflict and hardship ensued during the transition. Current leadership has externalized their authoritarian need and applied them to other countries they see going through similar issues. Crimea wasn't happy with the fledgling Ukraine leadership, and there was military significance to the region, so Russia "helped" the situation by annexing Crimea and "stabilize" the situation. Syria's king has been challenged for more than three years now and the nation is in shambles with refugees pouring into Europe, so the Russians rush to the aid of the authority that they believe should be in charge. It helps Russia's national pride that it's also in opposition to the US in Syria, but that's just the side benefit to them.
              Yea the Embargo Act way back in the early days of this country was bad for the merchant traders, but it led to the rise of merchants in this country to fulfill the need generated by the lack of imported goods.

                  No, it's more like reading something from someone off his meds. One out of 100 is generous. I'm sure it's interesting if you were a psychologist or in the FBI, but it's not interesting to me one iota. Weird is being polite.

                          I guess I have less of an issue with it since it's not harming the overall public. I worry more about polygamy when it's one man or one woman spreading their genes to a massive number of people. It's why I also support sperm/egg banks putting caps on how many people can be born with one person's genes.

                          There is a public interest in preventing that. This, I dunno. Why not?
