This way we are able to have troops and naval forces all over the Pacific Ocean to deter agression from China.

LOL, China is not investing billions upon billions into the United States just to go to war with us. Not even two years ago, the governor of my state, Rick Perry, went over to China and lobbied them to buy into Texas oil and gas fields. And they did, to the tune of billions of dollars. They are buying up debt, they are buying their way into our lives, you can't walk 30 feet in a Wal-Mart without encountering something made in China. You can't buy a computer from anybody that wasn't made in China. 20-30 years from now, the American aerospace industry will have gone the way of the American computer industry. Those jobs will be in China.

If they want a war with us, it will not be some messy military affair that they can't win. They'll just dump all of their investments or make other financial moves that just gut our economy or wipe out another segment of the American middle class. Those kinds of moves will do more harm to this country than anything they could do militarily.

If you are looking for a war with China, I hate to break it to you my friend, but the war is over and China won. They have the keys to our economy, and we paid them to take them.

On December 6th, 1941 the smart folks didn't think it possible we could be attacked by carrier based aircraft.
