One of the origins of human society can be traced to slavery. Yes, it is the physical ability of one part of society to order another part of it to “do what the rulers want to be done.”
Only a language can explain well to another human being what he or she is expected to do. Slavery thus originated at a certain level of mental development: that of conversation in a mutually understood human tongue.
This level of human development made it possible for humans to wage wars instead of pursuing and killing animals. Gradually, there originated fortresses and fortifications as well as combat vehicles, including ships and aircraft. But slavery could perfectly combine with technological or strategic achievements.
Hitler’s Germany, which attacked Russia, was a slave state, as was Stalin’s Russia, though the word “slave” had ceased to be used officially whether applied to “our heroic troops” or to “our despised enemy.”
The existence of a slave state such as Hitler’s Germany or Stalin’s Russia, and Hitler’s defeat in Russia, could account for the fact that Stalin’s Russia had more military slaves than Hitler’s Germany.
We are now approaching the period when the People’s Republic of China will possess more military slaves than any other country or any alliance of countries acting as a single force.
Indeed, the People’s Republic of China will be able to induct the military slaves of the countries it will conquer into their invasion army.

The Chinese might nuke us one day but they won’t invade us....I hope.
Unless they’ve been dumping Chinese in the Panama Canal area, it will be very difficult to do without losing most of them along the way.
I believe they are resource-driven...
What makes this even more dangerous is that the Chinese will have Russian nukes and the former USSR backing them, as well as 500 million plus people in Latin America. And the Middle East Muslims will back them as well.
Will the Chinese army be the one that defeats Islam?
I believe they are resource-driven...
One day soon the Chinese will make the Japanese of the 1930’s look like choir girls.
and in the meanwhile BO has taken America out of the equation thereby allowing a void to be filled. China loves that... its their great leap forward!
Not completely, however, China’s neighbors are seeing it for what it is and beginning to band together. India and SK just this past week worked out a couple of memoranda of understanding. India has also been working more and more closely with Japan. Even Vietnam is getting in on the act.
The USA is not totally out of this equation, but we have less to lose in a likely scenario from China than these countries do so their motivation is far greater.
The Chinese are human locusts nothing more.
I see Russia as China’s enemy, not their ally. China’s huge army cannot move by sea, it is a land force. To the south lies South-East Asia, already heavily populated. The Chinese lost a border war to Vietnam a few years ago. They won’t go in that direction. To the west lies mountains and deserts, inhospitable for infantry. The only place for it to march is north, into Siberia and Eastern Russia.
A few years ago I had a discussion with a client on some historical parallels between today’s Mainland China and Japan during the maybe early 1930’s. Major industrial expansion with state control, military expansion, and looking to extend the “sphere of influence”.
Russia may look to help China, for some short term gain. Bet your bottom dollar though that China is also eyeing the resources in Siberia. Russia has been taking the short term view IMHO and aligning with the dog that may likely turn around and bite.
chicom bump for later........
And a few years back, Australia again formed military forces just for that very reason...potential threat from China.
Nostradamus, is that you?
China as the cause of the next WW? Absolutely a possibility, and we can lose our cities and so many millions of people in a nuclear holocaust within minutes. That’s the real risk beyond the left’s policies of bankruptcy and disarmament.
Couldn’t they launch a surprise invasion by packing 20 or 30 container ships holding 10,000 containers each with 50 or more soldiers plus equipment in each container? 1.5 million troops split among ports on the west coast, east coast and gulf. Air drop another 20,000 special forces at key locations to take control of large airports and key infrastructure. Seems like that would easily overwhelm any formal defense we could mount on short notice.
they won’t invade us.... they’ll BUY us !
they won’t invade us.... they’ll BUY us !
sorry - I meant it only once
Thanks for the good info/insight.

Absolutely
Red Dawn!
Dumbest article of the day award.. Congrats to NewsMax.
The largest container ships carry 10,000 twenty foot containers. There are only a handful that hold that many containers. Many are registered to Denmark, a fellow NATO member unless Hussein has thrown them out. I think the Danes would alert us before the Chinese got here.
50 soldiers in a 20 foot container for a ten to fifteen day sea voyage? I can't imagine that. Put a tenth of that number in a container for that length of time and I will let the local VFW contingent take care of them when they storm the port of Long Beach.
These big ships are bagged and tagged long before they approach North America. An air drop? NORAD monitors every plane in international airspace. Not a chance.
While I appreciate your fear of what we used to call "the Chinese menace" you won't be seeing Chinese ground troops on this side of the Pacific any time soon.
Thank you!
Huge armies massively attacking in human wave fashion are just so old fashioned. We might as well be afraid of how many charioteers and pikesmen China has.
There’s a name we in the USAF call large amassed groups of troops: TARGETS.
I would not attempt (lack of sufficient facts and lack of absolute certainty to predict) to either defend or oppose the authors prognosis of a long-term military agenda of China, and events that could proceed out of that agenda. But, there is nothing now, or conceivable, to defend the author's idea that against that agenda China would NEVER face "an alliance of countries acting as a single force", matching or besting China's force and in opposition to it.
In fact, the awakening of the "sleeping giant" of China, and its increased willingness to try to "push its weight around" is already awakening the bigger "sleeping giant" of the rest Asia, and in that awakening many in Asia outside China see the U.S. NOT as an "outsider" but as a potential ally, if not already one.
In that latest Asian security summit the majority of summit members voted for an international mechanism to arbitrate the many territorial disputes over the many disputed islands in the South China Sea and the Pacific, while China stood out in lone opposition (preferring the one-on-one diplomatic bullying it prefers) and the U.S. sided with the rest of Asia. Since the voting was non-binding without complete consensus China will try to continue its bullying in such disputes, which will not drive other Asian nations into its warm embrace.
P.S. India can draft as many soldiers as China TODAY (if it felt the security-interest need to) and if China's aging demographics continue it will one day greatly exceed China in that ability.
Oh and I guess your 50 soldiers aren't going to be eating or drinking, or relieving themselves of liquid and solid waste materials for those two weeks either while locked in that little box. I understand, they're Chinese, they don't have to do those things if they're ordered not to by officers.
O’s slave state is growing exponentially. Ours will wear the Chicoms down with demands for tp, sushi and flat screen TV.
The biggest tempting land target is Siberia. There are whole Chinese cities on the border with Russia, where on the Russian side of the border it an empty plain. The only thing that keeps the plain Russian is their nuclear weapons.
However, a likely scenario would be a war starting with a Sunni-Shia war for the Caliphate (and all the middle east oil). This is getting more likely with the US pullout of Iraq, and Iran's spreading provocations in neighboring countries.
This one can become a world war, as the war would naturally become something of critical importance to everyone in the world.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more weird way to approach writing about a subject. You want to say that China is preparing for war and then start talking about slavery??
WTF? Is this public education on display or what?
a nuclear holocaust would be more a matter of weeks and months - and quite terrible....
And I worry that this POTUS wouldn’t even retaliate
if they are resource-driven they may take Canada or Australia...
Siberia is closer and doesnt require a navy...the oil fields of the middle east also do not require a navy...theoretically
Russia’s got too many nukes and a serious conventional force, and more importantly, a will to use both of them. The Chinese won’t go that way.
They both would rather go after the softening Western nations.
Siberia also belongs to a country with lots of nukes, and the will to use them.
again, the oil fields of the middle east are a rather tempting target...
Ya mean lik the “Borg” ?
They won’t have to in the numbers being suggested.
If significant seismic events occur along the West Coast, essentially creating a new West Coast, we probably would witness a large Fifth Column advanced from Latin America into the West Coast to occupy it with new political structures being established.
Such an event would likely act as a catalyst for Red Chinese advances using operational art such as the Allies used in Iraq to advance in spearheads from the west coast, by passing most metropolitan areas, and driving deeper into US soil to seize critical lines of communication.
The bulk of the fighting would occur in sparsely distributed, uncoordinated attacks throughout the midwest to west coast, with essentially a No Man’s land being created along the Rocky Mtns.
Seismic events trigger seismic changes. Such events could be a year away or a couple of centuries in the future. I’m not holding my breath on that one.
Kinda, but they also manufacture copied goods at 80% or less of the originals quality and sell them back to the very ones they stole the design from by the ship load.
