One of their head guys said straight up years back that China needs a war to help with the removal of 20 million young men who have no prospect of a girlfriend or wife because of the one child policy, they need to thin the herd. Those weren’t his exact words obviously, but that was the message.

Whether or not a defending nation could stop those ships from landing would depend on whether or not the defending nation had anything left to do it with.

In watching the documentary, the story told was the round weighed a ton. I edged toward a US ton of 2,000. Should have just said, “about a ton”!

All we have to do is export our gay culture and they'll never be able to field an army ever again.

Don’t forget our cross-dressing culture we could export.

It’d take them hours to get ready ... ;-)
