Though it feels good to see the Chinese get their knickers in twist, it is not a good idea to taunt them so aggressively. Obama is going to get us into a totally unnecessary and destructive war.

The oriental mindset is so different from the Western mindset. China probably feels it’s a real trip to taunt Obama for the fifth or sixth time, while Obama couldn’t give a crap.

Ya know, come to think of it, there’s prolly a reason why the Bummer is thumbing his nose at China but not, say, Cuba or various other little communist states. And that is because unlike the others, China is quasi-capitalist. Capitalism is just plain bad and needs to be extirpated from any self respecting communism, so out comes the tongue, the thumb goes to the nose, and the fingers waggle.

The Chinese would get their asses totally kicked. They are combat virgins and would be facing the deadliest, most battle-tested military on the planet. All it would take would be to have the USS Ohio/Georgia/Michigan/Florida SSGNs pump 100 Tomahawk cruise missiles into the Three Gorges Dam and China is crippled.

It would be a repeat of '79 when the Chinese tried to invade Vietnam and the battle-tested NVA kicked them back to China with their tails betweed their legs.

I doubt it. These kinds of military exercises have for decades been tools of diplomacy. They are ways of making statements, sometimes provoking a response. They will not lead to war.

I’m suprised Bo hasn’t asked them to take part in the excercises.
