You get it

When you strip everything away, the root problem is Islam. To kill the weed, you have to kill the root. I think the Chinese and Russkies could be convinced that Islam would take them over too. What the West should do is tell Russkie and China that they (the West) are simply going to destroy the muslim Middle East and Islam everywhere else by any means, and that they would like them to get out of the way.

The incentive for Russkie and China should be that they and the West can then divide up the oil and whatever else there is of value into thirds, followed by going back home, getting down to business, and trading with oneanother, and other good countries, as reasonable peoples should. What a wonderful world we would have. Three Amigos. Lots of oil to keep everyone happy, and no village idiot with nukes to spoil the party.
