You know, what strikes me is they keep saying ours is the pre-emptive strike. It isn't. Theirs was. They read history and believed it, we simply can't learn from previous mistakes. Hitler didn't build up all the weapons and tanks because it was a hobby. He meant to use them. Why couldn't we see that this time around? I have to say, it may be too late, and those who hate us knew we'd be too slow to pick up on it and too ignorant to do anything about it.

Anyone who thinks there isnt a NK-China axis in this doesnt see the whole picture, IMHO.
When the US was kicking the lving crap out NK in the Korean War, 150,000 Chinese "volunteers" swarmed the Yalu river and attacked our forces. If this wouldnt have happened, NK would be a dusty old memory in some textbook.
There is no way China would allow any large scale military force by the US to be carried out so close to their long border with Korea. They would find a pretext to back North Korea.
I keep expecting the Taiwan crisis to ignite next, with China looking to bring their " renegade province" back into the fold. By seizing the worlds 12th largest economy, they can consolidate more finances under the pretext of national unity, just like they did with Hong Kong, and restart their faltering economic engine.
You guys are right, this will be a bumpy road. Strap on your seat belts.
