European greed

Where are the protests in the streets of Europe over the impending lifting of the arms embargo of China. This is all about greed and putting a thumb to the eye of America. Europe sees an opportunity to make a few bucks off of China, and if some Americans and Taiwanese are put in danger as a result so much the better.

In China, we are talking about a nation with expansionist designs who executes its own people for stealing gasoline! They are a threat to their neighbors, and to regional stability, and now Europe is anxious to go dump a little gasoline onto that fire.

Europe is increasingly willing to make deals with the devil to counter America and make a quick buck. Deals that they - and we - will regret for decades. How do I know? Because we've all been doing it for a long time and regretting it for just as long. American arms deals with non-democracies in the Arab world for example now come with a clear call for democratic reform. A call that due to recent events in the world (events opposed by Europe) now has more resonance and credibility.
