CHINA TELLS AMERICA: Turn Around The USS George Washington Read more: http://www.bus

[Larson]

These are bold statements thinking USA could roll over China. Isn't that what General McArthur wanted to do? Our Military is outnumbered 4 to 1, Good chance you guys will be called up and no more chest-pounding on ET thinking all US has to do is bomb them. It won't be anything close to an attack on say, Iran.

Yeah but back then we had the bomb and they did not.

Now, given China's numerical superiority. An all out war would probably be apocalyptic.

I think it would be. They don't want it and neither do we.

Just curious: if there is an "all out war", who would suffer more: the destruction of the manufacturing base here in the US or the destruction of the manufacturing base there in China?

And they both know it ...and they both know the other knows it ...etc. Thats the brinksmanship chess match. How do both sides
save face is what is really in play given neither parent wants to
go to defcon 1 for their childs indiscretion.

Another thought. If theres a war with China how about this time we send only those whose incomes are over $250,000. a year to fight it.

Quote from Range Rover:

N Korea saw an inept and weak president (Bush) and they decided they could build their nuclear weapons under his presidency

Range Rover must be an Obama intern. His brown-nosing so intense it cracks me up!

Hey dummy, S Korea didn't suffer one casualty under Dubya.

and Range Rover needs to learn how to read. It was Bill Clinton who brokered deals with N. Korea who we assumed already had nukes in 1994. We later learned that they basically ignored most all of Clinton's agreements, showing just how useless negotiation is with people like that.

Along comes Obama and he'll probably give the N. Koreans everything they want just so he can play 'king Solomon' and fulfill his self delusional visions.
