Have those Marines hit your pubs yet?We are realigning hopefully all that nasty fighting ability that has been miss used over the years may well be turned inward.We never wanted to lord over the world but we let a few a##hats screw up our country.They have been at it for some time,now at least we are learning about it (I have known for some time)but don't let that EVER lead you to follow a logic that anyone who's sum total purpose appears to be hating my country has any basis of fact.
This guy trolls hate US every time,bitchin about the Marine deployments to his country and saying how evil we are and we are falling down.,yadda ,yadda,yadda.

I been holding onto this waiting if I should thread it or post it in someone else's. Here goes...
This is a war scenario if it comes to shooting. Kinda long but worth the read if you have any inkling of weapons and tactics. This guy seems to know his stuff.

In these documents, the US outlined some of its new doctrines and policies, such as: preventive war, pre-emptive military action, unilateralism, regime change, acting as the world's constabulary or "cavalry", establishment of military bases and spreading US forces all over the world, control of outer space and the global commons of cyberspace and control of the world's oil resources.
The alternate road, on the other hand, leads to world leadership. The US can choose to use its power, wealth and influence to sincerely do good for the people on this planet. It can lead in easing or obliterating the debt burden of poor nations, or in promoting the spread of quality education through distance learning in remote villages of developing countries. It can focus in the fight against poverty, or the fight against drugs, or the effort to save the deteriorating environment of planet earth. It can lead the fight against HIV/AIDS, or malaria and other deadly diseases. The whole world is waiting for the US to lead in these important battles.
If the US chooses to focus its huge resources on the latter, I am confident that it will gain the hearts and minds of people all over the world. Then it can be a true world leader. Then it can maintain its preeminent world status. By gaining the world's sympathy and support, terrorism directed against Americans and the US mainland will be greatly minimized. The alternate road, in fact, is the key to defeating the phenomenon of "terrorism" gripping the world today.
And we're still innovating and this nation gives more charity to the world than the rest combined.

I'm all about GO USA but I'm also realistic...
If it came down to it just know that every one of those Chinese civilians has served in the military - it's mandatory over there.
Just saying...Proceed with the rah-rah we're gonna kick their ass stuff if you feel like it...
Oh - and on top of that they don't eat cheese...they think it's disgusting...edit on 12-5-2012 by coldkidc because: (no reason given)

Well, I can honestly say I didn't know about a whole lot of that. Thanks, it was enlightening.
Gonna take some time to process it all...
Just a final thought, so we're talking about trading US imperialism for Chinese (this isn't intended to put words into anyone's mouth, more me bouncing around my own dome, bare with me guys...)? Because there has always been a world empire, right? I mean, atleast since the Brits held down one that the sun never set on. What's to say China will be any diffrent? History would certainly suggest elsewise.
Either way, I don't think a war between the US and China would do the world any favors, and I think they both realize that too, just as the US and Russia did. So I still feel that China is being made out to be a red herring... Sucks to find out all those dollars I thought were going to help the poor and diseased are just going into the corrupts' wallets. I can honestly say I'm deflated now. Guess that's better than being ignorant though. -.-;

Do you really think we will side with America?
The Americans will be destroyed.
You will turn around to find no friends. Especially in this part of the world.
America is doomed.
You guys will be pleading for help soon. .

Due to the economic uprise and the power of the Chinese government and milatary do you foresee ww3 being a pan Asian conflict with the U.S. and china being the main countrys coing head to head due to the aggressiveness of the Chinese claims of territories in the south china sea.

Are you sure you are Australian?
I have met many Australians and none of them love China and hate the USA. You aren't so keen on Australia either if I remember correctly, which is a bit unusual for an Australian.
Are you sure you are an Aussie? Are you the child of Asian immigrants?
Is that why you hate everything Western? Do you find yourself draw to your 'home' country's culture even though you have never been there and your parents couldn't leave the place fast enough?
I suppose it is all part of growing up.

I wouldn't call it "realistic". The author is pushing assumptions way over the line here...
....The author is also obsessed over the assumption that US navy has no defense against super-sonic anti-ship missiles, which is untrue.
There's so many other holes in this article, it's not worth the time or effort to dig them up one by one. My suggestion is to discard it as rubbish. Um, yeah, sure, the Russians and Iraians joining PRC to declare war on the US. Sorry I just don't see this in Russia's self interest.
Why do nearly all of the fantastical internet scenarios predicting a massive defeat of U.S. conventional forces always rely on the flawless operation of untested, hypothetical weapons systems within a convenient vacuum where the gullible and overconfident U.S. plays into the adversaries advantage?
