Yep, they have to kill off millions of men who have no women to mate with due to abortion.
They have polluted half their water supply to the point you can’t drink water in half the country.
They need raw materials.
They have a people in the billions wanting more from government.
We are going to be at war for sure IMO.
Hope it is when there is no Obama to cower to them and hopefully we would have rebuilt some of the damage to our military and defense Obama has caused.
Our weakness emboldens our enemies.
What rivalry with China? The battle is right here - communists vs Americans (real Americans). Every administration and Congress since Clinton has been instrumental in China’s ascent...and America’s decline.
Very unlikely.
No rational company is going to wreck their best customer.
They may intimidate us into servitude with no shots fired, though.
Flawed premise-- the easiest solution for the US to the Japan-China problem or South Korea's predicament is for both countries to acquire a credible nuclear deterrent.
This war will be fought with bags of money under the table to key politicians in the US as well as other countries of interest like Taiwan, Panama, who knows where else.
China is buying up hard assets here in the US, farmlands and oil fields, keeping their ownership at about 33% to keep it under the radar. They just bought a major oilfield in Canada too.
When they make their moves in the Pacific, we will huff and puff and move aircraft carriers around the globe but we will not stop them. Actually, we are taking aircraft carriers out of service, just to make sure we aren’t tempted to do anything.
If they ever did decide to deliver a nuclear strike, they would probably use arab proxies so that we will take out our revenge against them while China buys up more oilfields and farmlands and occupies more Pacific islands unmolested.
If it seems as though China is eclipsing the US in key areas, that has more to do with America's economic and political decline (and the Chinese filling the void) than any aggressive moves on the part of China. For instance: China has contracts in Africa where in return for building roads, their firms get mining rights, because China knows they need alternative sources of Rare Earths and other metals/minerals. Where are American firms making the same offer?
Glad someone with brains doesn't think the threat is Iran.
I suspect that the war will largely be a war fought through trade domination and dogfights for control of global economies. China’s military spending is still a small fraction of ours and their military goals, at least as of now, seem to be predominantly centered around influence in the South Pacific and nearby areas.
That said, they could be looking to attack us and wage war on us with weapons way more dangerous than guns or bombs of any kind.
And, sadly, I think the way things are progressing this will undoubtedly be the China century.
