Personally I really don't believe we can win a war with China either...but there are many reasons why. There is no Border security here and the Chinese are coming to this country and Canada at unbelievable rates. That would be big trouble for us at home in the case of a war with the Chinese...Secondly..there is speculation that the Chinese have ties politically with some of the Fundamentalist Islamic countries...or at least some of the fundamentalist groups. Having the Arabs involved here doing terrorist deeds would also hurt. This mostly is a problem of immigration and illegal entries into our country. Thirdly..the Chinese have more than 2 million men in it's standing army. Probably more and the ability to gather as many as they would need. Remember Korea. They attacked in waves at times without weapons..picking up the ones dropped by dead and wounded comrades. A low tech war against the Chinese would be almost impossible...and that is what the Chinese would probably do...as the Japanese did prior to WWII....invade and take over as many countries as possible. They can be as ruthless as the Japanese were. Probably worse. Also the Chinese are now building a Blue water Navy with the money garnered form the US. Doesn't bode well for us.. 4th and probably the hardest to deal with is the lack of resolve of the average American. Before the 2nd World War..most americans wanted to remain neutral... and I still believe we were drug into that war kicking and screaming because of some...shall I say ...errors of judgement by our leaders.. After 911 we heard people from all walks of life supporting the war on terror. Not now, though. War is a nasty thing. Ask Rocky...and others on this board. The fact is..people get killed and maimed in war. The soccer moms and others in this country will give up everything to be able to live their lives without strife. They'll even give up their liberties because they don't think the liberties we have are worth even one life. Especially their kids lives. They don't get the fact that freedom really isn't free. And as Fabs said. Most favored nation status to a communist nation is sheer stupidity. We generate the income they need to fight against liberty across the world. And they do. We really need to keep a much better eye on what the chinese do in the world...with the moneyt obtained from sales of junk to the American people
Rant over...!!!!
