China will be contained, and eventually impoverished.  Once they are contained, they'll start to collapse, just as all fascist governments do.

Well, I've been hearing this prediction in the past three decades  :hmm:

The Soviets laughed at it as well.

It seems apparent to me that the Chinese position is a lot stronger than the Soviets'.  A much stronger and growing economy, little to no foreign adventures, and a well-established succession mechanism that ensures turnover of the top job every 10 years.

Tyr thinks brown people should follow brown people religions or some stupid shit like that.
It would be nice if white people followed white people religions too but that ship sailed in the first millennium :(

So Christianity and Islam are brown people religions, but brown people shouldn't follow them?

Poor form, Xiacob.  Poor form.

Everybody knows that if you're going to make a Tang joke, it should involve Poon.  I mean, duh.

Well that's depressing. Hope the traditional faiths can pull a Hinduism and kick the christians out. All the world needs is another Korea :(
And what's wrong with Korea? :yeahright:
Too much wannabe-US, not enough Korea.

Jews are welcome to Judaism. Though they should stop pretending there has only ever been one god.

Would you like to explain these bizarre statements, Tyr?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

There is probably an anime movie with this theme, too.
