Quoting: Dr. Manhattan That kinda' pissed me off. When they reshot it, they eliminated the communist Chinese wanted posters. That made my avatar really obscure. Nobody knows where th pic came from. When the movie was being shot, you could go to their web site and put your pic in the poster. It seemed like a good idea. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

The Tauremini User ID: 36829606 United States 04/04/2013 05:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The answer to the poll question depends on what the objective is: If it's long-term strategic objective, my money is on China. That is because their proxy will do the job of taking out U.S bases in South Korea, Guam, Okinawa and maybe even Hawaii. Also, it's likely that as a result the North Korean regime will be wiped off the map, eliminating a trouble-maker on China's border and unifying the two Koreas with a caretaker regime in Pyonyang that China will undoubtedly influence. So, with U.S and South Korean military bases incapacitated (if not destroyed entirely) in China's backyard, the Chinese will emerge the biggest victor because not one of their soldiers, tanks, aircraft, ships, submarines, missiles or piece of infrastructure will have been lost during such a war. To boot, they will probably acquire any strategic coastal location and/or port in North Korea free of charge or effort. To be, that's maximum gain for minimal effort. "Who Dares Wins" |

The only thing I see as a gain here is an ego boost. The US is going to be broke as North Korea at some point in the future. so, they will most likely go to war. There will be blood. Who comes out on top depends on the helping hands at this point. |

Russia keeps it's fucking mouth shut for decades. The two issues I have with this is that China and the U.S each understand that they need one another, both for genuine bilateral reasons and for external national security reasons. Since the global economy is run by a combination of consumer confidence and investment, a US-China war would be mutually suicidal to both economies. The leaders of both countries understand this. It's for that reason alone that China would not back the North Koreans, and the U.S would keep away from a war with China. If, for argument's sake, a war did break out between the US and China for some bizarre and insane reason, Russia would not sit on the sidelines and have its borders used as a nuclear battlefield. Russia would, in my opinion, immediately go to its version of DEFCON-2 and send its long-range strategic bombers carrying 10-20 megaton nuclear bombs, nuclear attack submarines and its most lethal Destroyers and Cruisers out to mobilize in the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Ocean and in the Mediterranean. Moreover, Russian bases in Armenia, Ukraine, Cuba, Vietnam and Syria would go to maximum combat-alert. Then you would see one of two things happen here: 1. Both U.S and China come to an agreement and diffuse total and global all-out war. or... 2. Both U.S and China keep fighting, escalate the war and invite the pinnacle of Vladimir Putin's wrath. If the second of those two happened, the world would wake up the next day to a geopolitical situation in which there were no Superpowers, only a handful of decimated nuclear wastelands burying their dead.
