What proof do you have that China is out to get the U.S?
Actually Muslims and nuts like Amadinejad and Hugu Chavez have said that they are out to destroy the U.S. and or capitalism. How about Invading venezuela instead of worrying about China.
>>>>>Wow...what stunning leaps of logic! How come when someone advocates defending against invasion that can only mean their position is “invasion” and “occupation” of the threat?
And that’s hardly the point...Germany wasn’t out to dominate the US not until they dominated Europe, Russia and North Africa anyway.
A threat is a threat reagrdless of intentions, to be unprepared is inviting disaster.
Not only is no one advocating the “invasion” of China, but Venezuela’s people aren’t out to destroy the US either.
Iran’s different in that they’re sandwiched in between Iraq and Afghanistan and actually in many cases ARE harming US troops directly and indirectly.
But I still wouldn’t advocate liberating Iran...I’m holding out hope the people will overthrow those loons.
Now if the U.S. keeps intervening in Taiwan, S. Korea,Philipenes then If I were China then I would get angry at the U.S. too. How would you feel if China had troops in Cuba, and Canad?
>>>>So essentially you’re saying to reverse the situation for MORE US security by allowing China on the doorsteps of the US Hawaiian islands, Guam etc by invasion and occupation of South Korea, the Phillipines, Taiwan and Japan?
How about, we’re allies with South Korea, the Phillipines Japan and Taiwan? What’s so wrong about them being free peoples anyway? You seriously think Communist China would allow Taiwan to stay independent if not for the US presence in the region?
We can’t solve all problems.
>>>>>Never advocated solving ALL problems, only the ones we CAN solve reasonably. Another baffling idea....if we can’t somehow save the ENTIRE world, then NO ONE gets our help?
the result is that all these U.S. troops do build anger and hate against the U.S.
>>>>Nope, actually all those aforementioned countries are so grateful for our help and their freedom that they don’t WANT us to leave and when we threaten to pull out of South Korea, Germany or Japan they go nuts! And why should we care what a few power hungry old communist Chinese think? I think the Chinese people themselves are also hungry for freedom!
how would you feel if you had Chineese or Iranian troops in your state?
>>>>>The proper question for you to ask is if you were Chinese or Iranian how absolutely HOPELESS would you feel if the one best hope for freedom took his ball and went home?
Additionally, what’s more likely for your scnario...to keep a military presence further away from US soil and nearer to Iranian and Chinese troops or keep our military presence closer to home in hopes that the countries in between won’t capitulate sooner rather than later!?
The result is that some Muslim or other angry youth is going to sneak nukes in American cities. that is the threat not China.
>>>>We can have a sound defensive AND a sound offensive strategy! China’s not building a huge military for defense. We’re not threatening China...we’re simply giving them notice that they’re not free to dominate Asia as Japan got away with throughout the 20’s and 30’s!
Muslim youth are actually less likely to bring nukes here if we stop them where they might actually OBTAIN the nukes as opposed to stopping them WITH nukes at our borders!
Do you or do you not think that Muslim individuals are bound to get their hands on nukes and sneak them across the U.S. border like illegals and tons of drugs are sneaked in today?
Well let me tell you that 1. Muslims will get their hands on nukes sooner or later. 2. Muslim individuals will try to sneak nukes into the U.S. , across the border made porous by McCain and detonate those nukes in the U.S. , destroying the country.
Now knowing this wouldn’t it be smarter not to make Muslims angrier and give them excuses by having U.S. troops all over the world? Do you think that Muslims would have more of an excuse and or be angrier or drive Muslim youths to sneak nukes into the U.S. if (a). U.S. troops are all over the world killing Muslims and killing others or (b) U.S. troops are back in the U.S. and we are not bothering anyone?
What are you going to say when you see several U.S. cities under Mushroom clouds and our economy destroyed?
