The truth of the matter is we can’t do much of anything short of starting WWIII, ruining OUR economy and making enemies with the EU who will receive the brunt of any retaliation.

It can be done without starting World War III. Read up on how Ronald Reagan bankrupted the Soviet Union to help win the Cold War. He did it through energy policy.

The problem (okay, only one problem) with Obama is that he is incapable of seeing a picture that is bigger than his own ego. If you cross him, he goes after you personally.

We used to draw lines about how far we would allow the Soviet Union to go without risking WWIII. Our policy of containment took down the Soviet Union and kept hundreds of millions free in Europe.

What should we do if China decides to invade Taiwan? Risk WWIII?
