    Rude.

    "We" as in the United States ? I thought your "we" was the glorious Empire of Japan of WW2 that you so proudly claimed to be apart of when you had that little argument with a supposed Korean poster. Luckily you showed your true color at a place that will never know understand it means.

    Remind me again how the North and South Korea divide even came to be? Was it our noble goal of protecting peace and democracy? We created the that ****fest in the first place with the Soviets, then we sent our boys in to die at the first good excuse. That goes for Vietnam too.

    I see no reason not to mention Iraq, given the resources and lives we wasted for a Texan governor's legacy. Mission accomplished, peace achieved right ?

    Save your energy and don't talk about the past, especially not America's peaceful and bloodless history.

    For all of you saying that China is the greatest threat to World Peace you need to consider that the Chinese military is still much weaker than the US lacks the ability to project power like the US. The case involving territorial disputes in waters around the PRC has been often been portrayed in both the PRC and the US as primarily the PRC versus US backed interest when the reality is far more complicated. What is frequently forgotten in the West is that South Korea also has some bitter territorial disputes with Japan and even though both are staunch US allies probably doesn't want to see Japan successful in other territorial disputes. For that matter much of the rest of Asia doesn't trust Japan and many see Japan as a threat to regional stability.

    Anyway it is highly unlikely that the PRC would go to war against Japan or the US because it sees continued economic growth as integral to it's success. The PRC is major trading partners with Japan and the US any conflict between those countries would be disastrous to their economies. So while these countries will rattle sabres none of them actually want war.

    Regarding NK it is pretty clear that the PRC is fed up with NK. They want to keep NK as a buffer and also they fear a complete collapse of the regime will lead to a humanitarian crisis but they are not wholeheartedly supporting them and have been willing to work with other countries on NK.
