Certainly agree with this statement. Trade and economic prosperity has pretty much eliminated the threat of European wars and historically warring nations have become more and more dependent on each other.

Didnt you agree with Bro Zero on fundamentally changing what he called the greatest country on earth?

Do you know what "fundamentally change" means, dumb Jack Schiett?

Do you know what the fundamentals of this country are?

Free milk and a cow.


China owns about $2 trillion of our debt. AFAIC, for sticking us with this crap they are in debt to us by the tune of about $2 trillion after they write our debt to them off.

First China sends the disease, then they send the cure?

That’s one helluva PR campaign.

If you’ll remember, in the case of the US, they turned their ships around back in early March. Those supplies would have been arriving right about now.

Would you rather they be against us? My thinking is based off how the Bible teaches that any nation that turns it's back on Israel will suffer the wrath of God. With that in mind I want them to be an ally.



I didn’t say anything about them being against us or on our side. I simply asked what they would be able to bring to the table in a confrontation between China and the US. If your answer is peace of mind because having them as an ally fulfils what you believe, fair enough. I was more interested in what they would contribute militarily, financially, or with intelligence.

A silly question.



Jim1611 was saying that Israel would be the only ally we could count on in a major war with China. Asking him what he thought their contribution to the war effort would entail seems like a valid question to me.

So three 2 term presidents could not see the damage of continuing relations with China but a lowly businessman did? Clinton Armed them, Bush Played Dumb and Obongo almost had us sign the TPP. What does that say about those 3 clowns?

Something is up , don't know quite it is but the outcome will not be good for this "trading partner".

I would prefer they did not as I kind of like the people I know and would rather they stay alive and well.

Now if China suddenly decided to take over North Korea or Zimbabwe I wouldn't lose a single moments sleep.


NK is an extension of China, they are working on the Zimbabwe part as I type.

They covertly have been waging economic war on us it since Nixon.
The plan started before and during the much publicized visit.
The chinese think long term 10 25 50 100 yrs in advance.
Our policies change every 4 to 8 yrs....
They overtly do it with Liberal Socialist Democrats in power even more so.
This virus was created and released in response to a strong President to show the world how dependant we are on them in a
"Covert" way.
They had previous flu strain work to expand on.....
The chinese casualties long ago and during this have been their petri dish.
A drop in the bucket to them population wise.
They probably gave the vacine for it to their military and party types long ago.


My continuing kook of the day theory I have been posting for awhile.

If it were not for an artificially devalued currency,greed from US corporations egged on by Politicians,Lobbyists China would be still in the dark ages with their MAO inspired economy. We created their economy we can take it away.

Even a missle operator with the flu can push the lauch button. Nuke their sorry asses and kill the next virus at the same time.

That'll work great here too.

Especially since their nukes will hit NYC, All the Eastern seaboard, every port on the west coast, and anywhere in flyover country with a military base.

perfect, all the hotspots for The Corona will get wiped here, and any reservoir of new viruses too.

If we look at them historically they have had some great military success against many nations that are larger than they are. So how do they do that? That leads me to believe they are doing something right. Being where they are might be a help too. But I go back to what matters most to me and that's what God has done for them and promised to do. So it boils down to this, for me, do I want an ally that is known to be God's chosen people or not. Easy answer for me.

With God's chosen people and an angry Leprechaun on our side we would be invincible.

We can dent it badly but their tendons are very worldwide and entrenched deeply all over the world.

Economically cripple them? Yes.
Sink them? No.
