The Chinese Fascists regime are a nasty bunch, but a blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally. Maj. Gen Zhu Chenghu remarked on the ineptness of Obama’s foreign policy. He claims the US suffers from erectile dysfunction when it comes to foreign policy.
A Chinese general used a regional security conference this weekend to tell a global audience that U.S. rhetoric about the South China Sea risks provoking Beijing.
For the Chinese language audience, the general used language saltier — and perhaps more provocative — words to describe how he feels about U.S. power.
Maj. Gen Zhu Chenghu, a professor at the National Defense University, made the remarks in an interview with Chinese-language Phoenix TV at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore Saturday.
He suggested that if China came to blows with any of its neighbors, the U.S. might not be a reliable ally.

He said, “we can see from the situation in Ukraine this kind of ED” –which he explained in Chinese was a military abbreviation for something that may have meant “extended deployment” – “has become the male type of ED problem – erectile dysfunction.”
Mr. Zhu was one of several Chinese military officials who reacted angrily to remarks of U.S. defense secretary Chuck Hagel, who accused China of taking destabilizing actions in the South China Sea.
I can’t disagree with Mr. Zhu’s statement. Sadly our choices in foreign policy have become Democrat appeasement or the Republican’s Jacobinism of eternal war for democracy. There is a middle path which the US has historically followed, but except for the libertarian wing of the Republican Party, the choices are the 2 extreme positions of surrender or eternal war.
