The Chinese connection in this story is another disturbing fact that since the late 90’s they have been waging assymetrical warfare against us. Al Queda is the tail of the dragon. PRC generals were very vocal about declaring the USA as enemy #1 until they were told to be silent in the last couple of years. Just like Imperial Japan’s generals before WWII while diplomats were sitting in Washington talking about trade agreements and minor disagreements. The Chinese seemed to have learned from history.
I believe we will see China head into recession in 2009 along with the USA. When they do, they will likely cut off food aid to North Korea and I believe it will only be a matter of time before we will see Kim Jong attack South Korea. This event would be the first major flashpoint of WWIII. Any thoughts on countering China’s ambitions?
Ping. This is amazing.
