"The US has a PROVEN strategy on how to handle such hubris."

Sorry! That is incorrect...
Group masturbation, balkanization, & drugs is not the strategy with which the U.S. handled the almost identical situation in Asia during the 1930's...

Unfortunately, America does not even remotely possess the population psychology, manufacturing infrastructure, and natural resources that it had in 1941...
All of which made defeating the Asian tyrant possible...

Seems you believe the worst possible state for US capabilities.

You want it. Hell, you need it.

It’s emotional candy for you.

Just like a 12 year old girl.

"Unfortunately, America does not even remotely possess the population psychology, manufacturing infrastructure, and natural resources that it had in 1941...

What part of that statement is not true?

So you are implying that the Americans are a united, freedom-loving, and patriotic population willing to sacrifice their lives to defeat China?

So you are implying that the America has:

• Blast furnaces (steel mills) whose energy needs are easily met with unending iron ore trains & coal trains;
• Unending oil supplies at $1 per barrel;
• Trained factory workers in thousands of major manufacturing industries that can be refitted overnight to produce thousands of tanks, planes, ships, trucks, and food supplies;
• Military and political leadership that believes in God, Country, and the Constitution; and,
• A national work ethic that would support the need for six 12-hour work days each week until victory is achieved...

Clearly you need a better brand of LSD... /s
