It seems that America is fastening its death. It also seems that America has no whole hearted advisor. Due to its military training with South Korea, China is exercising both its air and ground military forces capability. This is a very high potential risk for America as China is growing fast and placing itself second in economic capability. Does not America have any one advising itself for uncertainties it may face? Why America trigger dangers for itself? It was high time for America to promote collaborative, liberal and interdependence diplomacy with the world than trigger risks for itself. The world is long unhappy with America since the down of the cold war. Instead of running to be police of the world, it should have stopped for a while and think on the worst and best scenarios. It is true that the world seems silent while observing USA acting as the world’s police force. But silence implies danger. Let me tell you a story king Minnelik II of Ethiopia said in the 1800s. Mennelik II levied a tax on Ethiopian people which was higher than before. He asked his securities what the people say about the tax. The security people told him that the people are shouting against the tax levied. Mennelik II kept silent. Again he levied even a higher tax after one year. He asked his security people about what the public say on the new tax levy. They told him that the public is shouting more than before against the new tax levy. Mennelik II kept silent again. The third time, Mennelik II levied even more higher tax than the first and the second on the third year, He asked his security people what the public say on the third tax levy. They told him that now the public is silent. This time, Mennelik II said, now there is danger.

US or for that matter all imperialists in the past had had to be content with one advisor,Niccolo Machiavelli.His advice for all the time to come as long as empire exists is "When a state accustomed to live in freedom under its own laws is acquired,there are three ways of keeping it:the first is to destroy it;the second is to go to live there in person;the third is to let it continue to live under its own laws,taking tribute from it,and setting up a government composed of a few men who will keep it friendly to you.Such a government ,being creature of the Prince ,will be aware that it can not survive without his friendship and support,and it will do everything to maintain his authority"-in The Prince.

Replace the word'Prince' with neo-empire,your question is answered.

What would you guys do instead? I'm not trying to get cocky. I am generally interested in what you woiuld do.

Nice story btw, I will match it with one of my own if I may.

 

Once there lived a man in England. Everyday when he came home for dinner he would switch on the TV only to be confronted with a constant barrage of images of a poverty stricken shithole called Ethiopia and the presenter of this debacle would berate his audience as selfish and inhuman since they werent giving enough of their money to Etiopia.

What is the relation of your last paragraph with the topic? Is it simply to say that Ethiopians are hungry people? Of course, your relatives (the whites) used Ethiopia as the best example of Famine in English dictionary, which is asocial and amoral.

By the way, do you know Ethiopia well? It is Ethiopia who crashed you down. Ask the Italians! Ethiopia was helping Norway. Ask the Norwegians! Japanese were coying economic models from Ethiopia. Ask the Japanese! Ethiopia was helping South Korea in the war with North Korea. Ask the Koreans! etc

Please, dont insult Ethiopia as a country and society. You can insult me as individual.

Insults to you are like kicking a sad, retarded cripple while he is down.

Oh and Ethipia never "crashed me down" btw.

No doubt you were too weak from hunger to accomplish it.
