Is the world playing rope-a-dope with the USA?
Anonymous Coward User ID: 127346 China 09/15/2006 02:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Is the world playing rope-a-dope with the USA? The rope-a-dope was the strategy Muhammad Ali adopted in his victory over George Foreman in Zaire in 1974, when Ali leaned on the ropes and allowed Foreman to punch himself out. Think about it, isn't the world letting the USA wear itself out in Iraq and Afghanistan? I've been trying to figure out why every country in the world would sit back and let the USA attack and occupy two countries using ridiculous reasons to justify the wars... But the famous "rope-a-dope" strategy makes perfect sense. The USA is wearing ITSELF out. By the time they have to take on a formidable enemy, they'll be ready for a knock out. Is the world playing rope-a-dope with the USA?

Nope, we are no where near worn out as far as capabilities. We may have become worn out as a society, due to all the ongoing B.S. But, I assure you we are not weak at all. Certain things may happen but, it all has a very sinister design!

It has never won a war solo - it was part of the Allies that won WW2. It lost Vietnam of course...I guess you could say it won independence a few hundred years ago.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 105464 I agree with you and I think that trend will continue forever, thank goodness.

Not everything is about your perceived "winning" but, then someone who would make that comment I really don't expect to understand nor see outside of their little box!

By the way, until you can accept the fact that this gaggle is not about the countries on Earth and that it is most assuredly about the controllers. Then you shall have no true basis for an argument. That's what they do folks, they put us against each other and we become task saturated by senseless bickering drawing attention away from the true culprits! Have a nice night!

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 143810 Nice. When you can't attack the message, attack the messenger. You were the one who said the USA has never won a war on their own. Please read the thread again, I never said it! Then you come come back with: "Not everything is about your perceived "winning"" It was YOUR perceived winning we were discussing, the exact opposite of what you just claimed. You must be a good citizen of the Orwelian state, Mr. Doublethink!
