There is no way I think anyone in Europe would be up for such a fight.
I really don't know why America has to get involved with everybody elses business.
I would blame the Zionists leading you by the nose, but I will get the usual flak, so I won't.
Conflict with China has been on the cards for a while, I remember saying to somebody about it about a year ago.
Hope it doesn't happen

Here's your 9/11 for ya. A Chinese resident whom is a terrorist strikes the United States and causes far worse damage than 9/11. We find out he comes from China and somehow has connections to the Chinese government. So we are already loud mouthing China then we say, "You sent one of your own to attack our country". China obviously denies the claim and so the US rallies our western allies against China, we wage a war or maybe a cold war. Destroy China's economy which will send us into a great depression but no worse than the '30s. With China alienated we can somehow save our selves from hyperinflation by turning everyone against China.
I smell a third world war brewing.
China is not a country that will bow to the USA ever. Demanding anything of China is a mistake.
Interesting to at last see someone stating this. So many forgets that some of the so-called high-end products like Ipods, Macs, PS3 etc etc are actually manufactured in China. I do believe China is still lacking behind is the R&D part, which engineers are a master in backward engineering, but lack the competitive capability of pushing through innovation. This is a problem in the education (duck-feeding) system, but (Chinese) talents who studied abroad are being attracted to fill up this gap rapidly and more corporations see they have to innovate to survive.....
Jul. 31 - The United States will soon allow more high-tech exports to China as part of the issues agreed upon during the recently concluded China-U.S. Strategic and Economic Dialogue this week.
“The U.S. pledged to facilitate exports of high-technology products from the U.S. to China,” Vice-Premier Wang Qishan told China Daily adding that the dialogue was a “full success.”

ONce again, the US military can't even defeat Iraq, a country that was already on her knees due to crippling sanctions, and is less than one tenth the size of China. China has an army bigger than our entire population, whom they wouldn't mind getting rid of because they have too many people, and more importantly, WAY TOO MANY YOUNG MEN.
WASHINGTON/BAGHDAD, Nov 9 (Reuters) - The Iraqi parliament's approval of an election law on Sunday cleared a major potential obstacle to the U.S. military meeting its timetable for withdrawing all combat troops by September 2010.
But no one in Baghdad and Washington is celebrating just yet. Their sense of relief is tempered by the knowledge that in Iraq nothing is ever as clear cut as it seems.
The timeline for the U.S. pullout could still be affected by any delay in picking Iraq's next government following the election, scheduled to take place on Jan. 21.
After Iraq's last national elections in December 2005, Iraqi leaders took months to choose a new government. While political parties jockeyed for position, Sunni Islamist al Qaeda militants took advantage of a power vacuum to launch attacks that ignited a wave of sectarian bloodletting.
With that history in mind, the U.S. commander in Iraq, General Ray Odierno, has 60 days after the election to make a recommendation on how the troop pullout should proceed.

I totally agree, infact i was talking to a friend last night about the obvious fact we are going to end up going to war with either iran or china or even both.
And i said exactly that, with all the iraq enquires going on and all the crap in parliment i really doubt the UK will join America again if this happens, the fact Obama doesnt have a close relationship with us like previous presidents makes it even less likely.
Infact i doubt most of Europe would join, Europe has already called on more support from Obama as they feel they have left behind by America.

1. Faber: The 'American Empire' has peaked, is on a decline
Once a society becomes successful it becomes arrogant, righteous, overconfident, corrupt, and decadent ... overspends ... costly wars ... wealth inequity and social tensions increase; and society enters a secular decline."
