Anyone who thinks China won't be an economic superpower and fully capable of ICBM warfare by 2040 is kidding themselves. There is absolutely no way to prevent it.

Unless we strike first and that is a perfectly viable option. Too many of our politicians are gutless and/or greedy!

We're not about to attack China, nor are they going to attack us. Our economic ties are far too strong and we're not prepared to lose Los Angeles in the process.

A far better approach is to undermine the current political control of China. I would welcome China as a friendly democracy, and that's far more realistic than a pre-emptive strike against them.
