Pakistan has asked China to build a naval base at its south-western port of Gwadar and expects the Chinese navy to maintain a regular presence there, a plan likely to alarm both India and the US.

“We have asked our Chinese brothers to please build a naval base at Gwadar,” Chaudhary Ahmed Mukhtar, Pakistan’s defence minister, told the Financial Times, confirming that the request was conveyed to China during a visit last week by Yusuf Raza Gilani, Pakistan’s prime minister.

China becoming their military godfather may not be good news for US strategic interests.

In related news, this is top BBC headline right now:

Just editing this because Doodle beat me by a few minutes:

This is definitely a western operation which is just a continued progression of WWIII. I beliee WWIII started with the attack on CNPC in Libya, China’s largest oil and gas producer forcing 30,000 Chinese workers to evacuate Libya.

Not hard at all. Tarpley also commented on this. See above.

We are in a dangerous time now. The western elites are apparently getting desperate. Obama is a pathetic puppet who make zero decisions. Thankfully China appears to be stepping up to the plate and saying "no" to western imperialists this time. Hopefully this will check the masturbatory arrogance of this administration and their handlers. This could be WWIII. And soon.

On one hand, I'm tickled pink to see someone stand up; however, on the other, the ramifications scare the beejesus out of me.

Never did find out if the U.S. got that tail piece back from Pakistan. Maybe the Chinese have it now.

Edit: Seems like a lot of trouble for a piece of tail.

:D

I would characterize it more as stepping on their toes so flagrantly that it is an actual threat now to China. And that they simply have to draw a line in the sand. The middle east mostly wants to defect to the east. It's a great opportunity for them. Plus the alternative is to give up the middle east to western puppets. I think this is full go red alert for China. The next couple of months should be very interesting. False flags left and right. There's already false flag bombings going off in Pakistan as we speak.
