SINGAPORE — Let us take it as a given that the post-1945 world order with
the United States as dominant nation has begun to unravel, that China is
rising to inherit the earth, that the unease of our times has much to do
with that difficult transition, and that violent conflict is a normal
accompaniment to the passing of the baton from one great power to the next.
America stood tall at the end of World War II. It also stood on a vast field
of corpses. | b********n

There are degrees of exceptionalism and Chinese and American notions are
entirely different in both theory and practice. Cohen’s attempts to draw
parallels between the two, therefore, miss the mark. American exceptionalism
unmentioned in polite company includes genocide (Native Americans), slavery
, torture (Guantanamo), xenophobia (Chinese exclusion laws) predatory
capitalism (2008 global crash). No such parallel can be found in Chinese
history of the past 238 years.
Since WWII, the US has bombed Korea and China 50-3, Guatemala 54, Indonesia
58, Cuba 59-61, Guatemala 60, Congo 64, Laos 64-73, Vietnam 61-73, Cambodia
69-70, Guatemala 67-9, Grenada 83, Lebanon 83/84, Libya 86, El Salvador 80s,
Nicaragua 80s, Iran 87, Panama 89, Iraq 91, Kuwait 91, Somalia 93, Bosnia
94/95, Sudan 98, Afghanistan 98, Yugoslavia 99, Yemen 02, Iraq 91-03, Iraq
03-, Afghanistan 01-, Pakistan 07-, Somalia 07-08/11, Yemen 09/11, Libya 11.
No such parallel can be found in the world.
Cohen disapproves of the Chinese Ebola response, and yet the Council on
Foreign Relations published a paper that indicates the Chinese “horizontal
” approach is more effective than the West’s “vertical” approach (“
Ebola and Cultures of Engagement: Chinese Versus Western Health Diplomacy”)
. And the Chinese aren’t conducting war exercises just beyond US coastal
waters, but the US has been doing so off China's coastal waters with
impunity.
US exceptionalism is a cultural myth used to promulgate state violence on
others. | c*****g

发帖数: 220 | 5 This "United States as a “missionary” power filled with the righteous
conviction that it must usher the earth to liberty and democracy" thing, is
largely a BS pretense made up to cover up the banking cartel's scheme, which
is to achieve global domination by destroying sovereign powers and
transferring them to a global government that rules the entire planet.
The US government is not a person and it has no conviction like a person
does. It is factually controlled by a private banking cartel that also owns
the media and part of the military.
