Good article Mr. Headache, but one question I have is; Why would Russia and China use nukes, thereby rendering the land and resources of this country useless for years, when they could probably take over conventionally?
With their combined forces, they really have a big advantage over us. Now,our technology advantage would take up some of the difference, but that advantage is dwindling every year.
It is apparent to me the chicoms and Ruskies are all for this war on terrorism, and love it everytime a bomb or missile strikes it's target. It's another log off the ever shrinking pile.
I think any value this country has to offer re: resources, land etc. is offset by the fact that a conventional war on US soil is unwinnable. Think the 10 million hunting rifles, we would slaughter them, every blade of grass would have another sniper behind it. Then factor in the vitriolic hate for us that nobody wants to think about.... Americans aren't popular around the world. You thought the WTC attack brought it out, think of the partying from Beijing to Moscow to Capetown to... Paris. The world would LOVE to see us suffer. And they intend on doing so.
