“The enemy could have disrupted that plan if it wished with an attack on the airfield by commandos, but they preferred the President remain in control.”

Yeah, because he’s in on it.

The Chinese have got too much patience to waste resources on a military attack.

All they have to do is wait for the NAACP, La Raza and the imported Muslim occupation to destroy America from within in the next decade, while divesting themselves of US debt, the Dollar as an exchange currency and expanding their market everywhere but in the US.

We'll eventually beg 'em to come in and take over, ...and they will for the cheap labor to exploit the US natural resources they'll buy for a pittance.

The Chinese know full well to never interfere with an enemy destroying themselves.

Red Storm Rising, v2.0

Same thought came to my mind when I read the scenario.

Total fabrication

The president would have been doing one of these:

A. Playing Golf
C. hosting a “secret party “ at the white house

Where is B? - I can never prove it- but the
riff raff that comes and goes in
the white house... supplying him with drugs.

The thing about one ship that does as much as 6 ships means the enemy can sink 6 ships by sinking 1.

I’ve heard the German tanks in WW2 were as tough as 4 US tanks. The problem for the Germans was we traveled in packs of 5.

"This nation, our media, everything is bordering on obscene. We have become the laughingstock of the planet."

Scenes from the movie, The Hunger Games comes to mind... of the Capital city and it's obscene excesses in wealth, fashion, food, life-style, etc.

As a military retiree, I can only shake my head each time Barry and his cabana boy, Chuckie Hagel, take a cleaver to the defense budget (again). Much of the “savings” are illusory, but the impact on readiness and training are very, very real.

Consider the recent effort to limit military pension increases. How much does DoD spend on retirement pensions? About $4 billion a year, and as the number of retirees who began their service in WWII, Korea and Vietnam declines, the required amount of funding will decrease. Meanwhile, food stamp payments have increased more than 30% over the past five years, with no end in sight.

In the very near future, “traditional” military retirement 50% of base pay after 20 years of service) will be replaced by some sort of 401K arrangement, so everyone will get a little something—but the first payout won’t occur until age 62 (or later). Meanwhile, it will become even more difficult to attract new recruits from the dwindling pool of young Americans who actually meet the requirements for military service. Why invest 20 years (or longer) in the armed forces, “retire” in your late 30s or early 40s, but wait another 20 years for the payout?

Or better yet, do what millions of aging baby boomers and large numbers of younger Americans have done: go on disability. From what I hear, approval of a disability claim through the Social Security Administration is virtually automatic, and the number of Americans receiving those checks is at an all-time high. When I lived in Mississippi, I knew a young man who claimed disability due to “anxiety,” and was receiving a monthly check of more than $800. That doesn’t sound like much but when you multiply it by millions, you’ve got a problem.

Here’s my quick fix for entitlements, beginning with the grand-daddy of them all, Social Security. Theh government can tell you, to the penny, how much you’ve contributed, along with your employers and that amazing 1% return on your investment. Under my plan, that amount is what you’d get from the program, and you can take it lump sum or in monthly checks until it runs out. Enforcing that kind of requirement would trigger a flood of savings and investment that (coupled with the right energy policies) trigger a huge economic boom.

As for the other programs, limit disability to only the truly deserving, with high standards of proof. No more checks because your ability to speak English is limited. Slash Medicaid to the bone, and means-test Medicare. And did I mention the complete elimination of Obamacare?

The entitlements monster can be tamed...but no one wants to have a serious discussion because too many Americans are counting on a check.

The fools in charge believe consumption drives an economy. So they see entitlements as helping America’s economy.

Tell a farmer during the dust bowl that if he ate all his seed corn the resulting demand would drive his farm through the roof.

The only way anyone should ever get a check from the govt is if they’ve earned it.

Not believeable. Obama seems upset that America is being destroyed. Not realistic AT ALL.

“Not with a bang, but with a whimper.”

Chinese conquest will come, if it comes, via slow assimilation, not warfare.

I can imagine our enemies sitting back, patiently watching our slow demise, but I expect they would be (are?) secretly fortifying our internal antagonists.

How many nukes or chem-bio weapons have aleady been carried across our porous borders? We know the Border Patrol has caught many OTMs (Other Than Mexicans) coming across. And if they can carry a backpack full of cocaine, they can just as easily carry a load of Anthrax or VX agent.

Each border state should put its National Guard along the fence. Boots on the ground, lots of them, is the only way to seal the border. Ask the unorganized militia for volunteers if the Guard can’t go.

And that's the rub. I know I'll get flamed for this, but we need to go back to the days when only landowners could vote. I would bet my last dime that a large majority of those milking the entitlements systems in this country are renting or squatting with their parents. If we made it such that only landowners, people who owned their homes, could vote, then only those who truly have skin in the game could vote on the direction in this country.

Don't own a home? Get a job and buy one! It would be the ultimate economic stimulator.

But no, that'll never happen. Why? Because white people cower at even the thought that something could possibly, maybe, tangentially be considered "racist." And yes, a MAJORITY of blacks and Hispanics would become "disenfranchised" over night, but what's stopping them from getting a job to buy that home of their dreams? Oh, that's right... a will to work. A lack of ethics? A lack of social morality? All of the above?

Chinese companies are taking American land—Thanks Harry Reid——to build solar farms for power.

When there are no other sources for power, the Chinese will own the USA.

The “terms of surrender” might not be not what we think. I don’t think it will be “Red Dawn”, and the enemies of this country would not just spare Obama’s life. They would make him a permanent leader, under their guidance of course.

Chinese and Russian “administrators” would come to “assist us” in our peaceful transition. And ‘agitators’ will have to be put down, as in how you put down your rabid dog. Summarily.

The first things would be to subject our legal system to a constitution free vision, redefining the role of government. -Private property, individual liberty and rights would be silently abandoned, as propaganda would spew from DC as to how we have liberated the poor and eliminated poverty and healthcare. Material shortages and food shortages will be blamed on previous practices that were put down my our newly liberated government.

Absolutely no public mention of the round up of firearms from previously legal owners, and their summary execution. Propaganda would be proclaiming the victory in the elimination of terrorist groups with “illegal arms collections”. Yes comrades, peace is at hand!! Victory of the people over the greedy!!

So in other words, our enemies would get everything they want...because it is everything Obama wants. They really don’t even have to waste the ammunition on sinking ships and fighting our military that will be scrapped anyway.

“Chinese companies are taking American land”

I think they are purchasing American land which is very different from taking.

I would like to think that when I purchase land, it is not called “taking”.

I would like to think that the USA purchased Alaska and did not take it.

Yes true.

The difference is that purchasing land in the US still requires our rule of law and constitutional protections on that property, while China ‘taking’ land would be absent of those protections.

Agree. The Capitol inhabitants look like Progressives run amuck :) I suspect that was done on purpose.
