What does the thread you posted have to do with your post???
You’re all over the place man.
You wanna talk about the 2 military powers? Great.
Wanna talk about religion? Great
It’s a purely analytical article for an interesting fact based conversation.
And then you detract..
Those who have not fought like you and I see things in a different light, FRiend.
Detract? Rather that is what you have done, reducing the conflict to simply being a matter of military might, which I posted on, while ignoring or denying the larger picture which I also posted on. Do you think America became a mighty nation without Divine aid and opposing His moral laws? Evidently so, since you seem to think the dangers that we face from China, etc. have nothing to do with the larger spiritual dimension and are to be dealt with without God's help and despite increasingly acting contrary to His laws.
If so then you are at odds with the Bible, and the Founders of America overall as well as being in the wrong forum.
Perhaps daniel is looking to show that the military strength differential is narrowing, and that, as always, God decides who is more evil. He is not at all pleased with the lukewarm (hypocrites).
