Why don't you take me thro' the thought process that led you to the conclusion that I was inferring that Cardiff was a continent rather than merely being on a different one to Washington.
Don't get me wrong, I totally love reading your stuff about why we should all hate America - but I feel this change in tack will give regular visitors to the board a valuable insight into your psyche.
I think the whole thing is just saber rattling.
China is reacting exactly how any major power would. No power is going to leave itself vulnerable if it can avoid it and no country is going to be happy at not having an advantage.
I get the point entirely about the "do as we say not as we do" attitude. It's just one part of our foreign policy that we are apparently not allowed to raise because it means we are blaming America and think we deserve what we get.
It raises my ire when I hear anyone from this administration avoid responsibility for anything by saying "Nobody could have predicted" or"nobody expected"............. Sorry but lots of people expected and predicted, but when they said it they were called surrender monkeys, terrorist sympathizers or just traitors that want America to lose.
I always think the best way to approach things like this is to ask ourselves how we would feel if the shoe was on the other foot.
I don't think china has spy satellites over the US. If it did we would have heard about it by now and there would be full international protest or it would have been taken out if not by missile then by NASA.
It's all part of the game. The way it's played is so silly it would be funny.........except there's nothing to laugh about.

it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.
Why don't you take me thro' the thought process that led you use Washington and Cardiff as an example of intercontinental travel, as opposed to, say, America and Europe?
Don't get me wrong, I totally love reading your stuff about nothing in particular - but I feel this change in tack will give regular visitors to the board a valuable insight into your psyche.
The USA could not stop the UK from having this capability without the UK replying in kind. It can definately stop Israel. Instead it vetoes any attempt of the UN to censure Israel. Why should all the other middle eastern states not be allowed the same capabilities that Israel has. Not that I want anyone to have these capabilities.
P.S Our near neighbours also have the 'bomb'.
The best way to keep a secret:- Tell everyone not to tell anyone.
