So China thinks they can boss around America and the world now. They are acting like they are the only Big Guy on the block. But they have also forgotten who the other one is. If they keep threatening as they are and keep stepping on other countries like they have no say(Like USA does). Then there will be conflict. Its like china took a hit of steroids and acting tough. But we all know what steroids actually do.

Only the strongest man stays away from arrogance . China just proved to be weak just like the US. But no doubt China will also have its victorious days which are coming up. The she will face the same faith as USSR and USA.

Enlighten me. Who's the other Big Guy?

The US can be crumbled by a few men pressing the "sell" button on their computer. All our military in the world could not protect us if they wanted to destroy our nation. Russia has a budget surplus. China has a budget surplus. Saudi has a budget surplus..


USA is in a technical default after just increasing our debt wall once again.

So who's the other Big Guy on the block again? We have a military.. but all that is for naught when our economy is a frail house of cards that can be destroyed at any moment.

The military wouldn't last too long when they cant get oil for their toys, or paychecks for the cannon fodder.

O really? When warring against a nation, all debt is erased. Then you might say their huge army...(human waves). Well let me break it down for you.

Korean War
North invaded south korea...U.S. steps in and pushed the North Koreans to china's border. But out of surprise China gets involved and attack without warning. Push us to the ocean...then later U.S. pushed them past 38th line..even despite China huge human waves tactics. But we couldn't win that war without declaring war with China. But at the time China was back up by Soviet Russia. If we did declare war on China at the time, would mean nuclear war.

China-Vietnam war
Not much said...China human wave army was stop by militants only. while the main army was in Cambodia.

So it's okay for America to go around beating it's chest, but when another country does it it's wrong? If something applies to one country, it applies to all. Everyone gets a voice, some use it, some don't.

Well said!

We must also keep in mind that our frailty extends to such things as EMP.
www.globalsecurity.org...
ONE nuclear weapon fired by a proxy, ie north korea or iran, could potentially remove america from the world stage in under a second!

And of course there's the computer attacks that have got google running into the arms of the nsa. China has devoted massive resources to this kind of warfare, knowing full well that it is americas achilles heel.

Of course, as SeattleTruth stated, if the chinese move quickly, they can wreak financial havoc on us right now. They know their going to lose their 'savings' when we print money day and night, so why not strike first? Dump the 2 Trillion on the markets and destroy the dollar before we get the chance to steal it from them through devaluation.

China is correct in stating that no one or two, three, four etc. countries should act like ruler of world. Imo every country should have a say in matters directly or indirectly concerning them or related to them.

That being said I do not agree with China on Tibet, Taiwan and Dalai Lama issue. China should not force other countries and same goes for USA.

Agree on that brother...let each country live in its own means..but unfortunately thats not kind of world we live in. There will always be war or we just destroy ourselves.

The U.S. corporation did the dirty deeds dirt cheap and made absurd profit, like always.

Is it the American peoples fault, yes it is half true. The people still do nothing.

Don't blame the people, blame the system, if you do you loose your power to do anything. So Okay its the systems fault, now what? What you guna do?

Start thinking!

You know I think the usa has got some secret alien tech. hidden and the day that china will try to invade we will just zap them into oblivion... So watch out china we got our eyes on you. muahahahaha!!!!

Hello Quickfix...you seem usually the first few to post on my threads and I rather enjoy our discusses we usually have.

That is very indeed true...It really does boils down to the people faults, but thats because the people have no leader to follow to lead them. Most people wont lead themselves

Retaliation? Like what? Selling more arms to Iran?

EDIT: Hey China, we got military assets positioned globally, how many do you got?

Likewise, they could be removed via the same method. EMP, by no means, is a "be all, to end all"

Way to bring the humor to the thread...

People always talk about how china can Win a war with U.S. by calling the debt. But what do you think would stop our Huge encirclement from military action. Simply because it wouldn't. DEBT ERASED

Yeah, crushing our economy would certainly leave us with not much else to lose...and with our backs against the wall...we are going to come out fighting. It's a damn good thing that our citizens are so well armed. Calling in their debt would be a blow to us, be let everyone NOT FORGET that we are a nation with our own resources...we are by no means dependent on other nations, as some would have us believe. We would overcome and be victorious...it would take a damn sight more than debt to "defeat" the US in any war...period!

Question....if China is so wrong, then why is our government selling our debt to them? And when they tell us that they may stop buying our debt, we almost beg them to buy more, why, if they are so bad?
