| Anonymous Coward User ID: 619274 United States02/27/2009 01:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's been in my mind the past couple of years that China will take Detroit. The infrastructure is there, it's all set up for them to bring in 10million people and start producing cars or whatever here. It makes total sense and it will not shock me one bit when it happens. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 619274That is some scary food for thought. :reviision: I say burn all of your bridges while you still have control of the flame. We are like flies crawling across the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel: We cannot see what angels and gods lie underneath the threshold of our perceptions.

After all, the US government has been in recievership since 1933. Unless of course this is their own engineering. EDIT to add: Also I wonder about the sticky details on this. Did the "Feds" actually do this, or did the FED act alone to implement this? When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!"

On another note, why should anyone pay their mortgage is they are going to loose it anyways... Did they think this was good incentive for the people to pay the Feds debt??? Just to make sure of it... |

You are aware that their navy also includes Boomers now? With an army that size it only stands to reason that they may have a longer "shelf-life" on their deployed systems, but that should in no way translate to their being percieved as technologically stagnant or inferior. Even if they have not deployed these technologies in a large scale, you must also consider the fact that with a population of that size their industrial might is a force to be reckoned with. Force projection beyond Asia is not likely to an immediately signifiganct degree, and they certainly don't have the rapid deployment capabilities that we do, but again, don't be confined in your thinking to traditional US and western schools of thought when it comes to strategy. The Russians never had carrier assault groups like we do either, for example. They never saw a signifigant need for them.

The Russians never had carrier assault groups like we do either. They never saw a signifigant need for them. Like I said they are still decades behind in all facets of modern weaponry. If you tried invading China yes it will not be easy. But as it is today you really think there Navy and air force could stop the a full US assault and by full I mean gloves off congress out of the way and the military in total control. Would we take casualties yes but China would more then likely lose what Navy and air force it has and be set back another 3-4 decades. Why do you think they stay put in China? There biggest concern is getting Taiwan back and they are worried about trying to take them back because of us. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 540299 United States02/27/2009 03:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If Chinese ground troops are used there will be all out war. We still have Pattons and we still have McArthurs in the military. There would be a huge blood bath and the Chinese would lose quite a bit of its new found status and power. This is certainly what the illuminati want because they have no use for either Americans or the Chinese. |
