Hi...Jeff,
Happy New Years Blessings to You and Your Household.
And Your post # 25 on this very interesting thread is as Always...100% Correct!
The Book of Revelation talks a great deal about the Great DRAGON (This IS CHINA, Not the long gone reptile/animal).
The Chinese are smart but they still do Not have the Tech capacity to overcome the USA...at least Not yet.
The one thing that they Do have is "man power"...they Out Number US many times Over.
Certainly any kind of Act of War perpetrated by the Chinese on the USA would be Very Messy indeed and Our retaliatory response will be Massive and NASTY.
I was agreeing with him in my post.
The Chinese understand asymetrical warfare. Their entire Sun Tsu military philospohy is based on it.
All warfare is deception.
They know they are not conventionally capable at this time, but they are certainly working towards "finding a way". At some point they will think they have and in their own time act. I pray we are prepared and vigilant and believe we shall prevail just the same.
But, it would be better to do with them as Reagan did with the Soviets now, than wait for them to make the move...particularly when they are funding most of this with our own monies.
