If one were to begin planning on going to war and viewed China as a potential enemy, but you imported vast amounts of goods from them...

What might be the first strategic move one would make?

Secure your domestic population clothing, food, vitamins, medicines...

Consider for just one moment what a war involving China might mean on our domestic front. Heck ...we couldn’t even get cat food!

Bingo. Wal-mart owned Bush 1&2, Clinton and now Obama. It's all smoke and mirrors.

I bet it’s about allowing unionization.

We’ve had it too good for too long.

I can only assume that whatever they’ll announce after the meeting is already planned out—or they wouldn’t have made the meeting public news.

A sort of political equivalent to the line from the "Godfather": "Your brains or signature will be on the agreement.".
