China and the Final War for Resources
Bill Ridley
February 9th, 2005
"What's coming will be more devastating to the U.S. economy than any nuclear strike..." - The Asia Times
I. Unrestricted War
Unrestricted War: China’s Master Plan to Destroy America is a treatise for world domination written in 1999 by People’s Liberation Army Colonels Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui. In order for China to become a dominant global power over the United States, the PLA emphasizes “The Final War over Resources”, must be won.
The Colonels state that the aggressor nation “must adjust its own financial strategy, use currency revaluation or devaluation as primary weapons, and combine means such as getting the upper hand in public opinion and changing the rules sufficiently to make financial turbulence and economic crisis appear in the targeted country or area, weakening its overall power, including its military strength. Whether it be the intrusions of hackers, a major explosion at the World Trade Center, or a bombing attack by bin Laden, all of these greatly exceed the frequency bandwidths understood by the American military..."
Can you imagine if U.S. military leaders or politicians made such threatening comments? People would be up in arms and demanding resignations and Congressional inquiries!
However, in another case where truth is stranger than fiction – for the most part the U.S. media and government officials are keeping a lid on this volatile story. As you are about to read, the Chinese have already positioned themselves to inflict major damage to the U.S. economy. For those few brave souls in Washington and the media who are talking, their words are ominous.
Writing in the Los Angeles Times, Gal Luft, executive director of the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, said: "Without a comprehensive strategy designed to prevent China from becoming an oil consumer on par with the U.S., a superpower collision is in the cards." The New York Times has also weighed in stating that China’s actions threaten “the very stability of the global economy.”
The final war for the planet’s resources has already started. You name the commodity and China’s buying it and consuming it in HUGE quantities. Last year they consumed nearly half of the world’s cement, twice the world’s consumption of copper, and nearly a third of the world’s coal, 90% of the world’s steel plus nearly every other commodity you can think of has been in greater demand by China.
However in order to propel such furious economic growth, there is one key commodity you need above all the others. And if you can’t get enough of it, having all the other resources won’t matter. The most prized and sought after commodity which makes the world tick is oil. With out it, you have nothing. Your economy would be frozen and your military would be left inept.
As China’s Master Plan to Destroy America manifesto outlines, the multifaceted battle plan recommended by the Chinese military has taken shape..…

Oh, and then if you do manage to get the massive European war machine across the ocean and land on US shores, we all own guns. First you have to defeat our military, then you have to defeat a fairly well armed and dedicated population that is about tired of your crap anyway.

If we have not been paying off our debts,
what are these:
War Debt
Bob Spink: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the schedule is for repayments to the USA of War Debt incurred by Britain during and in the aftermath of the Second World War, including the line of credit and the lend-lease loan. [131690]
Ruth Kelly: The schedule for the repayments of interest and principal sums outstanding on the Second World War agreement for a line of credit and a lend-lease loan facility with the United States Government are as follows:
US$ million
December 2003 $148Million
December 2004 $145Million
December 2005 $142Million
December 2006 $83 Million
These are the last 4 payments on a loan we have been paying since the war, so I think we might have paid our debt.

Let's face it, what you're paying off is only a tiny fraction of what was given to you.

I am so sick of hearing "Oh~ Our American civilians can bear arms and fight for our country" C'mon~ What are you gonna do with those hand guns and hunting rifles? A bunch of disorganized hillbillies shooting from rooftops when tanks start rolling through your potato farms? I'll tell you what you'll do when they cut off your supplies. You'll use those guns to kill your neighbors so you can grab their cans of corn beef and take their beautiful wives/daughters. Do you really think people are as patriotic as you when there is no laws and survival means the death of the other? Sorry to burst your bubbles.

RedHare is more right than he/she knows. If our economy crashed, which would be the first act of war against us, we would be totally bogged down simply trying to survive and protect ourselves and property. We would be a huge target for a well financed, well placed invasion force. It would be a hellish situation. And all those anti-gun folks would suddenly be wishing like hell they had some firearms to protect themselves from crazy hungry people.

Your ignorant or something? Nothing is given for free, you know not US would have be any greater unless European countrys had lot of trading between em and vice versa. US isnt world center, it wouldnt be so great unless other mostly European / Japan would have trade with em, US managed to always stay as one who put sanctions but barely ever has been put any sort of sanctions against US.
And before you say US could have done it without EU, ok maybe, but same would go with EU both were industrial era areas before and end of WWII so making each other stronger was better choice for both areas.
What was given to allied countrys? Food and suplys so they could fight, well if money vs food isnt good trade then i think it would have been better to have germany occupying whole damn EU continent. Happy i was in country that got independency thanks to Germans help (of course not free!) in war vs Russia and then Allied choice to end Russian invasion to our homeland. And we have paid war debt for Russia, cause they invaded our land and we caused em signifant losses. Sweden (was neutral during WWII) suplied us mostly and country where im is Finland.

I demand that EU relinquish all sovereignty to the US.
We could use the EU armies as cannon fodder for future conflicts. Why send an American boy in when we could send in a European.

Well, for a start I can barely understand what you're trying to say. Whatever you're saying still doesn't change the fact that the US has only ever been repaid a fraction of what they loaned. Not to mention the 250 000 US servicemen who died in Europe.
As for Finland, you were just a Nazi stooge, who took a bit from the Russians too big to swallow. Sure you beat them sorta in 1940, but who cares it didn't slow down the Soviet war machine in the slightest. Finland was a good training ground for the Soviets
