‘This is not about China’: US to move majority of warships to Asia-Pacific

June 02, 2012 09:58

The US is set to reposition its Navy fleet with the majority of its warships to be assigned to the Asia-Pacific by 2020. But this military strategy has nothing to do with US-Chinese rivalry in the region, the defense secretary assures.

This idiot thinks were are all children ...

Get a life.

Want to take on China?  Come on ... China will start to dump your useles dollars and then start a global boycott of Americsan goods by ALL OVERSEAS AND MAINLAND Chinese...

Fi rst level... economic. Let us see who wins.

China say the word when to start we shall all respond. No need war not need F35s or J10s.... just say one word.

Then and only then show them your carrier killers... these US guys will run with their tails between their legs.

Meanwhi le refuse to trade with countries collaborating with US like the Phillipines if need be. Let them depend of USA aid like in Marcos times or send their daughters to be maids in the kitchen.

For those who believe "It is Not about China," wake up! Nobody like their homes surrounded by cops. If there is a police car parked outside your house and the cops tell you, "Don't pay attention to us. We are here not because of you." Would you believe it? Let's say if Russia builds a missle defense system in Canada and China builds a military base in Mexico. It is not about the U.S. Would you believe it? You get the idea. AC

As one born in the US (not a choice I would have made and God has a lot of splaining to do), I am getting so damn sick and tired of the US threatening, murdering, and trying to take everyone elses resources and land while lying and saying we are trying to spread democracy and freedom. Enough is enough already. Russia, China, and the rest of the planet that is not a slave to the true axis of Satan (US-Israel-NATO) it's time to do something drastic. China please call in the loans and send the Pacific fleet of the US to the bottom of the ocean - it would make the basis of a nice reef. Russia please take out those missile shields, kick NATO out of Serbia and the Balkans, and rid the Middle East of the trash AmerIsrael. The US and Israel have gone totally out of control and become nothing but pychopathic kleptomaniacs. God help us all ! i am sorry to write this. but, israel also dont care about your soldiers and any another nato soldiers, who die  in afghanistan or any another country in the world.but,if a 1 israhell soldier die,than the whole nato  is in turmoil.  they, zionists jews use the nato,and also cia,m16  for them own business. and, they are very happy about it. because , war is money for them... and, you should think about, why  israhell is not a nato member... i  know the answer...  M.U. netherlands...

the united states is a major exporter of scrap metal [instead of new products] to china.
those ships will be sold to china for scrap metal.
the ships are being moved now - in advance of the scrap metal sale - to reduce shipping costs...

I mean, seriously, today there are more than 3.3 million Chinese in the USA. Historically they have been instrumental in building the railroads that were used to cleanse the continent of Indians. They also washed their blood out of the shirts of the cavalary. I do not remember the Chinese ever showing any remorse or pity for the crimes their countrymen commited towards the indigenous peoples of America.Now the devil they helped to create is back to feast on them.I can not imagine what else they would have expected.But still they remain to arrogant to say they are sorry and to tight to pay but a single penny in compensation where even billions aren't sufficient to pay for the loss and pain and suffering they caused.America was created by all the countries in the world by ethnic cleansing and all the countries in the world bear responsibillity for all the crimes it commits as long as they sustain the status quo and do not attempt to change the error of their ways.Ugh.

Remember what they did when they had bases there before. When I lived for a year in the Philippines teaching at Ateneo I learned much about the abuses of human rights that the Americans got away with by supporting Marcos and with their bases. Cases of childhood AIDS through the roof due to sex tourism and the it was worse near the American bases as these children were used or just raped by American soldiers, sailor, marines, and airmen. I that what you want for your beautiful country and people?  Asking the Americans to protect you from China is like asking the devil to possess your soul so that he will not tempt you anymore.  Drop the colonial mentality you are good people and deserve better.

The curse that is called America is one the world has brought ipon itself. Centuries ago they deceided to ignore the rights of the legitimate population of an entire continent and support their genocide.And they still ignore them so what do we expect.This curse will not be lifted.

@screech ly: And what glorious country are you from? how about we talk about its ethics and morals, and judge every move it makes so we can condemn it? For one thing I said nothing about Fox news, I get news from a variety of sources and RT is one of them. Im not blindly following one biased media group like you.
And you know nothing about America. I am an average American, I not close to being rich, I work for every cent I own. I take no handouts from the government and don't believe any American should, unless they are physically unable to provide for them selves. I earn my own Healthcare. Its parasites like you that live off of other earnings, want the government for provide for you, while you hate on it and trash it with every vile word that comes from your rotten mouth. And the fact that you read website about revisionist history tell me what kind of addle brained fool you are. grow up, you pathetic filth, you give human beings a bad name.
Typical brainwash syndrome,tell me what part of that revisionist history link is untrue,you say grow up .  I bet you didnt read it to scared your silly controlled world veiw is a garbage, you goyim

Read George Orwells 1984 as respects "Doublethink": Holding two contradictory beliefs at the same time. Denying the failures in Iraq and Afghanistan by invading and then embarking on new military missions for reasons that really have nothing to do with America.  China is quite capable of seeking mutually agreeable accords or peaceful resolution s without interference on any local territorial problems. Apparently the notion that America has a duty to save the world is now acceptable;  with or without UN agreement. Maybe thats why we have so many unnessary wars out of control...and almost by design....perpetual wars as in 1984.

Waste of money... (unregistered) 03.06.2012 13:39

For a country that is bankrupt, where the population suffers huge unemployment, home repossessions, a failing social security, health and education systems....this is such a waste of tax payer's money. So much money spent on military, weaponry, defence, wars and conflict....for what? There will soon be a people's revolution in the US to bring down the ruling elites and put in place a government that really is in touch with the people.

when usa says something, the opposite (that which is denied) is most likely true. they lie non-stop or as they say 24/7 (24 hours, 7 days a week -- every week of the year).

dont get me started on the others


I find pathetic that you are trying to justify US and NATO crimes against humanity in the last 2 decades they have killed millions of people in the middle east alone in their wars for oil. In conflicts started by them .provoked by them. fabricated by them. Just look at what US 4 star general (wesley clark) says on youtube about his government detailed plans to remove from power 7 muslin countries with artificially created revolutions.
Russia or CHina are not looking for wars and foreign countries to invade. with the pretext of "humanitarian help".  Russia ,neither CHina   have one thousand military bases around the world .  Neither they are dictating other nations what they need to do ,or how they need to govern their own country. Neither blackmail countries to not do business with others. neither are imposing santions in other nations. Russia neither China act as if the entire planet belong to them.  neither they have killed millions based on lies or fabrications.
and don't get me started with how they kill their own citizens with drones and their families , Neither talk about Guantanamo or their concentration camps. or how the CIA finance their shadow projects. or 9/11 cool story. US government and NATO are out of control and if it wasn't for Russia or CHINA ,Syria and Iran will have been invaded already with many more millions of lives lost.
Fortunately not all americans are brainwashed , and many are waking up ,just look how many followers Ron Paul got. and fighting to fix what is broken in their Government and restore their democracy and liberties.

not about China ... lol. WE BELIEVE YOU LIARS xD Do they really think we are all so naive to their false flags, daily manipulation, twisting of facts ... these terrorists, agents of the enemy think it will all happen the way they intend. They wanted to control the whole world, they will fall in a grand way ... I truly expect that. If justice is to be done, then the torments in the US will be terrible once it comes. But it will come even on those who think themselves gods.

RT, perfect headline.

In the U.S., the lie is put out front.  It works!  So they do it again and again.

Of course it's about China.  The silver lining?  Maybe it's no longer about the Middle East.  Has Israel finally been made to stop humping America's leg?

Wesley...thanks for the correction on the downing of the US spy plane near China during the Bush era. Why America spying on China seems a reasonable question since America invested over 10 billion dollars in China in the last 3 years. As for the disputed islands which you claim China "stealing" from their rightful owners the matter should be resolved without an escalation of the military; as if that would work....these islands are located in the South China Sea and have not moved recently. Thats why China feels they have a legitimate claim. America lik es to send in the cavalry to chase the bad guys....so China is now the new bad guy...as you admitted. Please note China that America wishes to villify your nation and make extremely provokative accusations....meanw hile back at the ranch...IRAQ AFGHANISTAN LIBYA and SYRIA in sectarian wars...without end?
