It is not so much the name of the enemy as it is the process that the enemy follows that seems to work. Additionally, there is the "Front Group." People are eternally fooled by "Big" words and phrases, i.e. peace,dialogue, tolerance, equality, justice, inclusion, immigrants, undocumented workers, etc. etc. People bow to popular people, actors, rock stars. Couple the latter individuals with a big word and generally one has a winner.
Excellent post, great job.
You think China is going to invade America with a platoon of MPs from Haiti and a couple loading docks in Panama?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have them encircled by growing alliances of rich prosperous free countries who are rearming rapidly, we can fry their 200 million soldiers in 2 hours, they are a totalitarian dictatorship with no popular mandate, their economy is utterly dependent on ours- SO YES OF COURSE THEY WILL ATTACK US SOONER IF NOT LATER.
yawn........................boy them chinese are sure bright about their self-interest.
Why yes they ARE, that's why this Sunday afternoon hysteria is pure crap...............reaches for popcorn
>A war with China would be a good thing IMO. We could cancel our national debt>>><
Oh, but to the victor go the spoils. Why would they nuke us when they could drop a few neutron bombs in strategic places. Our government is so full of the far left they would probably accede were it not for our great POTUS.(See NYers post #16 under Senators Who OpposeBush Judges On Abortion Will Lead Senate Democrats and click on his link, The Enemy within).
And to think we enabled China (thanks to William Jefferson Clinton) by supplying all the ammo they need, and the prosperity by way of outsourcing to pay for it.
Remember how Spain folded for just a rail incident. What would America do should a few of those bombs hit us? I hope to God in His Heaven that we never have to find out. That war would likely finish America and Israel as we knoe them simultaneously, for surely Israel would be targeted as well.
One way or another it's not going to be pretty, folks, but stay tuned.
I assume you're talking about post #65. That is the real danger the world faces. I'm not so worried about Red China invading the US. Red China's military buildup will be used to make us think twice before intervening in one of their Wars of National Liberation (being the most dangerous Communist weapon of all...not their military or their nukes).
"It is not so much the name of the enemy as it is the process that the enemy follows that seems to work."
You are right. See post #87.
If a few of those bombs hit us America would incinerate China at the snap of two fingers, and pick up the pieces afterward.
Not exactly. But I think China has long term plans to harm the United States. I DO view with apprehension the presence of Chinese Military/Intelligence personnel in any large amounts in this hemisphere. And I believe that China has shipped large amounts of arms and ammunition to North and South America, and I wonder who it went to and where it is stored.
you are speaking non sense.
I have heard that half of all Chinese are the rare (here) type "O" blood. They may not wish to risk a US release of a virus that specifically targets that blood type. Russia has a lot more to fear than anyone else from the Chinese. Siberia is a vast relatively unpopulated storehouse of natural resourses. Sooner or later we'll probably be rescuing Russia once again.
That is disgusting. But remember, all these stores, and our leaders are selling us out here. This greed is going to come back to brutally haunt us. All for the love of short term profits.
From the other article: "The Communists can now count on the U.S. State Department - "
Sounds true - I hear we are giving away land to Russia - said to be around Alaska - and now one other state wants to give more area to the UN - even though that body is a disgrace and everyone knows it -
The one article listed steps that did sound current - like what is taking place in the U.S. - and it seems like we have more "dumb" Republicans - willing to fall for all the PR crap - just as happened with Yugo. That was a crime and still many Republicans don't understand - most of what they were told was "false" and put out by a PR firm that admitted their role - I believe both sides in Yugo. had abuses(as happens in a civil war) - and sending in OBL didn't help matters -
The major media - all over the world - is the biggest problem -
just my thoughts -
yugo was a disgrace, a HUGE blunder.
Some pick on me but my Freeper name is a result of China's action when they over took our spy plane. Someone called the Chinese pilot "hotdog"...just wanted to clear up any misconception one might have about me and my name...
Well, I won't dispute that a genuine China-Russia-Europe alliance would be formidable, but that prospect seems so remote in my view that it's in the realm of fantasy.
Leaving aside French delusions of grandeur, the European Union remains a geopolitical incoherence, that'll spend the next two decades at least just consolidating itself and expresses little interest for military confrontation with anyone.
Russia is an internal disaster zone on so many levels that can barely project the remnants of its power across its own polity, much less across Eurasia. It is also totally dependent on the largesse of outsiders in one form or another.
As for China, they are little more than a conceited Third World nation that just happens to have such a huge population that enough of them have fleeced the rest that they somewhat approximate the prowess of 'lesser' nations.
All three are walking on a tightrope of their own making and it's just as like - I would even say far more likely - that all three will collapse (the EU in a geopolitical sense) than that they will harmonize some grand anti-American alliance. Even if they manage to coordinate some efforts, it would not take long at all before their own rivalries stormed to the forefront.
There is one thing that definitely unites them: a desire to make money. In the modern world that generally means profitting off of Americans, and they know it.
