Stezza,Major General Zhang Zhoazhong does exist.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhu_Chenghu Now The confusion is that here are two who are Major Generals.ZU Zhang Zhaozhong is mentioned here by Zhu Chenghu.Zhu Chenghu is even more aggessive in his statements saying that if the USA attacks any of their ships etc they will relatiate with nukes.

See also http://globalresearch.ca/ The First story.'Obama's Secret Letter to Tehran'.In this letter Obama has assured Iran that the US will not attack it.This does not mean Israel won't attack and drag us all into war and poverty.

The West cannot afford to wage war against China/Russia or Iran.Our economies have been wrecked by the Banking/Military/Industrial Complex that JFK warned us about.We have no manufacturing to support a protracted wars.The US Military treat their soldiers poorly subjecting them to Depleted Uranium and they suffer Gulf War Syndrome.The ex -vets are very angry.We in the West are now becoming aware of the lies of 911 and the Wars of Imperialism waged to steal energy and contain China like they did to Japan prior WW2.

The West imposed trade embagoes on Japan and tried to restrict their access to energy.That is why Japan attacked Pearl Harbour.Aust warned the USA that the Japs were about to attack.They needed Pearl Harbour since the US people wanted no part of the War with Germany.

Now China/Russia have called their bluff,one wonders what their next plan is.The elites in the West have a problem of a growing awareness in their populations about their treachery and the how the banking system counterfeits our currencies and destroys real wealth.

Obama and many of Congress can be charged with treason ( Destruction of their Constitution) and war crimes.Bush and Blair have just recently been found gulity of war crimes in a Kuala Lumpur International High Court.They have to watch where they travel.

Iran along with Japan are dumping the US $ for trade.This will see the collapse of the US $.Saddham tried also to dump the US $,that is the main reason he had to go.There were no WMD's.

Hey Racist,

'Letting two fruitcake regimes that were a danger to world stability kill each other off sounds like a smart move to me. Just give either side enough at the right times so that no one can win.'

using your oddball logic it would seem reasonable for the US to support equally both fruitcake sides in the Israel Palestinian dispute?

Wouldn't it?

Arjay,

I'm sorry, but the concept that China would retaliate with nukes against the US if it takes action is purest fantasy on your behalf.

While the Chinese have a vested interest in Iranian oil supply, they also have an interest in preventing proliferation, Secondly while they have nukes sufficient to deter a direct attack from the US, they do not have nearly enough ABMs to defend against the onslaught of ICBMs and Submarine launched missiles that would exterminate China in retaliation for a first strike.

While you might believe that a few generals might lead China to martyrdom on a point of oil supply, I doubt anyone in China does.
