God I have to laugh....China
I am watching CNN, Lou Dobbs talking about the threat China and its growing military buildup.

We are exporting are jobs, technology and ultimately are entire economy over to China.

WTF! I does not take a genius to figure out what is happening.

in the words of Mike Malloy:

Have I told yet tonight how much I HATE THESE PEOPLE!

1. Don't you wish you were still alive 100 years from now to see what
the world is like then, and how Dumbo's incompetence and assaults against democracy have ruined this country?

Wait, I guess I don't want to be around to see that!

3. They are an emerging threat.
Corporate America is exchanging are economy with China for a profit. We can not remain a superpower without a superpower economy it is what fuels the the military.

China will be a rival to the USA in terms of economic power and military power in my lifetime.

4. The military threat is that we are unable to force our will on them

...militarily, economically or any other way on the Asian mainland.

They are a center of power unto themselves. There are other things besides money. Human resources for example, which nations are greater? Not only in terms of numbers but also in terms of literacy and education. The cultural resources of China are deep. When competing or dealing with Chinese generals, economists, or businessmen, you are not dealing with fools.

They beat us on the battlefield in Korea 55 years ago, when they were destitute in western terms. What could they do to us now?

The massive accumulations of American and British capital are no longer able to control world commodity prices because the Chinese are determining their own economic development. This alone is a threat to the American/Anglo globalism model. In fact, this is why neo-cons are resolved to resurrect colonialism BECAUSE THEY CANNOT COMPETE ON THE CURRENT PLAYING FIELD. THEREFORE THEY MUST TRY TO TAKE RESOURCES WHERE THEY CAN BY OUTRIGHT FORCE WHEN SEDITION FAILS.
