Cobra seems to always say "no" but when it says "yes"....

Han nationalism is all the Chinese have. It can be used to entice the Hong Kongers and Taiwanese to embrace greater integration with the Mainland.

The seeds of its destruction lie in the fact that Han nationalism has brought into existence a ring of antagonists that surround her. Chinese policies make conflict with Vietnam, India and Japan inevitable.

Russia uses China at the UN, but refuses to back China in the South China Sea disputes. China's only friends are North Korea and Pakistan.

Don't worry about American nationalism. American nationalism doesn't make sense. It makes no sense for people like me to support the new Multicultural America. You will miss Pax Americana. It made China's peaceful rise possible.

 

You have strayed into a Mad Hatter Tea Party, but you are not that cute pretty Alice in Wonderland, hence Albert won't be interested.

The Tea Party people still believe in America. I've lost faith in America.

 

It may not be a bad idea for you to create a political party called the Mad Hatter Tea Party.

Perhaps you can tell us:

1. Why have you lost faith in America?

2. Is it due to Obama and his party?

3. Or is it due to Romney and his party?

4. Or is it due to the American political system?

5. Is democracy the best political system for America and the world?

6. If not, what is the alternative?

7. What has Obama accomplished in his four years?

8. What has he not done in his four years?

9. If Romney is elected, what do you think he can do for America?

10. Are you proud of the Obama administration?

11. Are you proud to be an American?

12. If you could turn back the clock to the time when Columbus discovered America, and if you could play God to decide and create the best conditions for America to be a stronger and better country,

a. What race/races would you bring to settle in America?

b. How would you distribute the percentage of the races in America?

c. What would be your immigration policy?

13. Suppose you were elected President this year, what would you do to solve America's problems to regain its strength and prosperity?

 

What do you expect from a cobra but death? It's no fun joking with a cobra. Just try and see for yourself.

Trying to understand the meaning of an abstract art, a joke, a satire or a political cartoon can be frustrating and trying at times. The creators of such works are usually reluctant to explain the message they are trying to convey to others. In order to understand the meaning of a political satire, a general knowledge of current affairs is required.

Although the US has stated many times that it does not take sides on the China-Japan dispute over the Diaoyu Islands, China is skeptical of the US position because of the Japan-U.S. security treaty.

If you still don't understand the satire of my post, you may get the answer yourself by charming an American cobra. You will find it swaying to and fro as if saying "No, I won't take sides. Look! I don't stay on the left. Neither do I stay on the right."

However, if you record the cobra's movements in slow motion, you would find it staying on the left at one instant, and staying on the other side the next instant. Hence, contrary to what it says, it takes sides but keeps shifting its stance.

Hence, any living thing in front of a cobra would be unsure of the cobra's real intention until at the very instant it stops swaying, but by that time it would be too late to know the truth.

If you still don't understand my explanation, try to experiment with a live American cobra and tell us about your experience (if you still have a chance to do so) in the next post.
