gribbon Posted January 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Alos, bear in mind that my hostile attitude towards this man was because of his grossly nationlistic attitude towards, his homeland, the U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFSTrue, true - but then China don't have Public Opinion to worry about, and can divert food to the army whilst the public starve. And they've got cannon fodder. Millions of 'em...

Buffy Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Uh, there's that big pond to worry about. Lao Tzu would want to know what the heck kind of tactics would be used. Nuke war? Can you imagine what would happen if they didn't have anyone to sell all those pirated DVDs to anymore? Why the heck would there be a war anyway?

Boerseun Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Why the heck would there be a war anyway?This is actually a very interesting topic! The reason for it, I guess, would be resources. China is slowly growing into the gap left by the USSR, with a growing demand for oil. And because of the nuclear scenario, I suppose any war between the US and China would be fought by proxy, much like the States and Russia banging heads in Vietnam, Angola, etc., without it ever growing to the scale of nukes flying around. So, I guess if any wars are to be fought, it'll be where the resources are. I doubt that the US will actually invade China, or China cross the pond. But then it could be economic, as well. As much as China is dependent on the US for purchasing its merchandise, the US is terminally dependent on China keeping on buying US debt through Treasury Bonds. They are in a deadly embrace, and the welfare of the one is critical to the welfare of the other. Unless China can find another same-sized market for its products. In which case they can simply stop buying US debt, and the dollar will plummet. I think as it is now, they are walking a very fine line indeed, and the one can't antagonize the other without causing serious damage both ways.

Buffy Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Is there ever really a winner in war?Hopefully there are survivors that learn the right lessons from the experience.... By the way, on this line of thought, the History Channel has been running an episode this week of Time Machine that is all about Reconstruction after the Civil War: really gets across how damaging that little piece of history was to the US....

HydrogenBond Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 I would have to say there would be no clear winner. My logic is as follows. In Iraq, where America has vast material and technical superiority, too many liberal Americans have sabbotaged the will to win this relatively easy war (by comparison with Chine). As such, if we fought China, beginning with an old time spirit of war, we would win all the early rounds. But as the war nears completeness, the liberals will work hard to sabbotage the will to win. The Chinese have ton's of people and would save face by keep the war going for decades, against the shark turned into a jelly fish. They would pick off the jelly fish, with the media counting the American loses, never admitting they helped put their army into this position of vulnerbility, so they can make ratings.

Buffy Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Wait a second. If its liberals that stop countries for waging wars, and China's a Communist country, which means that they have more liberals than we do, don'tcha' think their liberals would out-surrender-monkey us? Can you think of a war that lasted "decades" in the last 400 years? Why do you think it would last that long? I mean, Dubya'd prolly nuke 'em, liberals be damned.

HydrogenBond Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 The Chinese are Communists but they also have the fortitude of the Ninja. If they were at war, they would give it their all, because it would be in the best interest of the commune. The length of the war would depend on were the battles were fought. If it was in a third country, it would be quicker to the 15th round. If it was in the China homeland, they would not give up until the land was restored via the jellyfish by sent to its room by the liberals cutting off funding. This is all hypothetical. I don't think either country is imperialistic. They both wish the best for their own people and will continue to live as neighbors. The battlefield will be peaceful using economics. This war will make the allocation of resources even more efficient, worldwide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
