3. Oh, I'm sure many nations will listen politely...

but there's a lot of nations in Asia that do not trust the USA and have no reason to trust it either. The American Century is over and the rest of the world is moving on.

The future for Asia is BRICS and SCO.

BRICS - Current members - Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa. Soon to be members - Indonesia and Turkey have been mentioned as candidates for full membership of the BRICS, while Egypt , Argentina, Iran, Nigeria, Syria and most recently Bangladesh have expressed interest in joining BRICS.

SCO - Shanghai Cooperation Organization - Current Members - China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan. Soon to be members - India, Iran, Mongolia, Pakistan.

Frankly, most of these nations have been fooled by the USA a number of times already. The question is will they be fooled again?

And as for the "little bastard" comment. Putin is only reacting to others being the "little bastard" first.
