China has two years to attack Japan—while their man is in the White House. He will never attack China (where could he find the funds to keep the debtor nation working?) He will never defend Japan or any other place that he doesn’t like. look to see a move in spring of 2016. When the attack comes it will be a “Trojan Horse” attack (I believe) like a new sort of Pearl Harbor to take out the Japanese “Self Defence Force” Navy in one move. (Maybe a nuke?) They will make a grab for Taiwan and maybe Vietnam??? They want to make the south Pacific a Chinese lake.
And then we default on any bonds the chicoms have in retaliation. If we contain the fighting to air/sea and limited land engagements on islands we kick their butts. We also get the Japanese and other Asian countries involved and we should certainly continue to cultivate a closer relationship with India as a counterbalance in man power alone against the chicoms. The wild card is they may be crazy enough to go nuclear rather than face a humiliating lose. Our problem is the current wussie in chief.
This sounds silly, but one thing for sure...if they do it now, Obama will do nothing.
YOu make a good point.
Let me ask you...who has more power over you? The guy who owes you $100,000, or the guy you owe $100,000 to?
Japan has nuclear weapons?
I sure hope so. . .
It would certainly alter the world economy, though. Cheap manufactured goods, down. U.S. debt, canceled out. Foreign markets for those goods they still could produce, hostile. International finance, frozen. For a sprinkling of islands and maybe some potential oil assets in the Spratly islands that they couldn't exploit anyway? I don't think so. The Chinese are smarter than that.
Now, Taiwan, that's another matter. They might risk quite a lot for Taiwan.

If not, Japan has the technology to produce advanced thermonuclear weapons in short order and China knows it.
