JMHO.

Oh, and N/T.

But all these war toys are ultimartely unaffordable and unsustainable.

If a splash occurs in the ocean and no one hears it, ...

A substantial part of the whole economy (especially in Hampton Roads) is based on DoD cash.

Maybe at last, we can get our hands on our socialist Muslim Kenyan President's REAL birth certificate.

Don't forget how the USA got Hawai'i in the first place.

We will lose that war.

Once we they loan us the money, it's off to war we go!

... in either case.

A response to the growth of Chinese power.

Neither can afford to go to war with the other. The US needs China's cash to keep domestic inflation down and China needs the US' consumers to buy their things.

The entire Kim dynasty is crazier than a pack of shithouse rats, they've wanted to annex South Korea by force for decades, and they've got The Bomb.

At present they're going to have to FedEx the fucking thing to its target if they want to use it, but they still have one and eventually a North Korean rocket scientist (one who knows how to make a working rocket, that is) will emerge. Alternatively, there are nations like Iran who also hate the US, who have good rockets, and who really wouldn't mind hooking up whichever Kim is running the show this week.

I don't think China will attack the US, or any country aligned with the US, because it's not good business to drop bombs on your largest trading partner. China is mainly a threat to its own citizens.
