a American Army General in and about 1953 challenging General McCarther in his idea of Bombing China. The Chinese Army could and would send 100k troops per day for a hundred years and just how many Troops could you send General McCarther.

He went past that, and is now beyond a moron.

You DO NOT want to go in to a war against China.
Has he never heard the saying that if America went to war against China, that is equivalent to even 1 guy with a gun to 1,000 guys with pitch forks, and China is not backward enough to settle with pitch forks.

Not to mention the fact that China pretty much owns a ton of US Debt. I know it would be a poison pill for them too, if they were to drop that and convert to other systems, but they could survive it, and the US would have a crash like no other.

I don't even know what to say.
