Wil's Rant

The American desire to dominate global politics is having another affect. The Chinese and Russian militaries are involved in joint exercises. This is the first such combined effort for the two countries. They both clearly state that it is the actions of the Americans which has caused them to seek out this new arrangement. I suspect that a limited alliance between them is not far off. What is even more disturbing is how the Americans are likely to react. Sensing a new threat level, the administration will use this fact to drum up even more support for increased in military spending, effectively bringing the level of tension and increasing the odds of global conflict.
