The arrogance of looking at these issues as one of containment of other states is marked and historically dishonest. From the very clear expansionist activities of the political “west”, it would be more logical from a neutral perspective for other countries to take the converse position to try to limit the further expansion of the US. Therefore, from a global neutral perspective we are on the wrong side of history now. Having time in both the PRC and the US, I see the political administration of the PRC as far more effective in all ways with one exception, the one thing the US does well is war and aggression.

So completely out of touch with the average Americans values.
