//China... Give it thirty years.//

I agree largely. But if China sides up with N. Korea, Iran, Venezuela et al. Then it could get very dicey for us, even with our nukes. The wild card would be the Russkies and what they would do. My bet is when the chips are down, they side with the USA.

Bottom line we need to quit starving Taiwan of strategic military assets. In this theater the F-16 qualifies as that IMO.

For the record, the glow is blue, not green.

FREE TRADE IS WONDERFUL BUMP

[Toddsterpatriot]

How’s that wayback machine working out for you?

[investigateworld]

So you are denying you mentioned the increased levels of homeownership here in the US was one of the benefits of Free Trade.

A Simple yes or no.

For the record: Yes or NO

[investigateworld]

I figure our nukes could kill about two thirds of their population and have the rest glowing green. Until China gets a decent missle shield and the ability to project its forces to our mainland we have very little to worry about. Give it thirty years.

The downside to that is the jet stream would bring the fallout back here.

Already Seattle's vehicles are covered with China's coal ash.

Hmmmmmm

(Rethink downside aspect)

Rising levels of home ownership was not proof that free trade was a failure.
