Not with a bang, but with a whimper.
Just because the Military gets and spends hundreds of billions a year doesn’t mean they are worth a crap.
I mean the intelligence budget is also hundreds of billions in all and those pathetics couldn’t see the fall of the Soviet Union, 9-11, or nearly any other big bang event of the last several dacades.
And that’s probably the way it would go down with the weakest, most dishonest, corrupt and disingenuous president in the history of the U.S.
Rather than surrender, I could see Obama negotiating a price for the delivery into Russian hands other the Muslim brothers who he would betray for a higher price despite the fact that they paid for his education and training as a foreign agent.
He forgot to mention in that concluding phone call how angry obama would have been not to have been first given the opportunity to surrender before being attacked.
Psychologically it does.
What would be the terms of an American surrender? The Chinese already own large swaths of major American cities. The Russians own and have infiltrated large portions of eastern Europe and are not afraid to move west. American manufacturing has been gutted to the point that a WWII-level manufacturing boom would take over a year to begin, and by then, we would have no infrastructure left.
Obama’s had more Waterloos than Napoleon had troops. The man is political and racial Teflon. If this scenario were true, Obama would give them everything they want and get on American TV that night with a smile saying that the world’s wounds are healed.
Let’s face, America need a renaissance. Without it, we’re a smoldering husk of our former selves. We’ve given into sloth, arrogance, perversion, and materialism in a way that this country has never seen. The west is dying to an east that is bolstered by numbers and nationalism.
That one gave me the chuckles.
I was thinking about that. If we unconditionally surrendered to the Chinese, what would it look like? I’m really not sure. I suppose 300 million chinese could immigrate here. And we could take $500B (more than we already are) and send it to China to pay for their environmental cleanup (or whatever). But in many ways it feels to me that we’ve already lost — but I’m sure we can lose a lot more.
I use to play these types of war game scenarios with a buddy of mine over lunch.
it wasn’t that bad in the 90s
today, I keep coming up with things similar to this, if not worse.
then I look around at the latte sipping, self entitled twats we have infesting our country today... and my care levels decrease
The article has mistaken the greatest threat to America. It isn’t China and Russia. The gravest threat to our liberty is not from without, but from within. It’s 0bama and the other statists from both parties who are gradually removing freedom after freedom
I’m pretty sure we’re lost without a seriously painful renaissance. Entitlements would have to be cut to, essentially, zero. We would have to go back to tariffs for financials, which was how it was prior to the income tax. We would need to have a SERIOUS conversation as a nation and basically tell all of these infantile idiots on the left to sit down, shut the Hell up, and let’s let the adults take the con.
This nation, our media, everything is bordering on obscene. We have become the laughingstock of the planet.
Bump! Also to your number eight above. Excellent!
IMHO, it is naive to label this scenario ‘fiction’, as the author has.
It it ‘prescient’ and plausible, not improbable. Particularly under current ‘leadership’...
Due to the work ethic of Obama “Americans are jobless, while Obama plays Golf.
Does that mean were are now in the Nero Segment of the Obamanation First Reich?
Exactly. Neither the Chinese nor the Russians will attack us militarily. They are not that stupid. Not that they fear retaliation, not from this President. No, they are simply too smart. Why attack us, steel our resolve and give us something to unite the nation against? (ie. them) They can sit back, eat popcorn, and watch bammy and crew do a far better job of destroying everything that was America than they could ever do with all their conventional weapons combined.
"And as Attorney General Eric Holder sat in his office making plans to prosecute someone, anyone for this white/Asian-on-black hate crime, President was nowhere to be found."
The thought this piece presents is chilling. However, if such a thing were to happen, there wouldn't be any leadership to even think of a response, let alone contemplating responding with anything substantive.
The dangers to the infrastructure cited are real. The dangers with respect to Cyber terror are real, especially now that the US will be giving up any semblance of control of the internet. The vulnerability of US weapons systems to both Chinese and Russian systems is real where they likely get the classified data of a system even before the first article is delivered to the military.
About the only good thing I'd think about it all is that they lying scheming duplicitous media would be gagged and impotent and unable to spew their BS and delude people.
And that, my FRiends, is some pretty macabre irony.
Red Storm Rising, v2.0 - too bad Clancy isn’t still here to take this column and turn it into a real page-turner like RSR or The Hunt for the Red October.
“The President was about to speak at a rally to protest the opposition party’s “War on the Poor.”
Just one more part of the enemy diversion.
