Hello CB, <<The US is going to continue to spend a lot of money on the military-industrial complex for reasons too complex to go into but I think you know them anyway>>
... US will try, as it must, for it is part of the script.
<<China doesn't need to. We're doing it for you. We like doing it. We're good at it.>>
... Why not; not necessary; you are correct; and not really, for Korea is still split, Vietnam was a debacle, Iraq? don't mention it. Afghanistan ... you are not that delusional.
<<We're no threat to you>>
... You do not actually believe that, but then again, I suppose not, but no good reason to take a chance, for nuclear option was most assuredly entertained as a thought every so often.
<<I don't think you're any threat to us, either>>
... you are correct, no particular reason to be so, except for a small matter over some island, and so, them rockets, big and cheap, must accumulate more, as a reminder of what could be, else how can reversion to the mean proceed?
<<You'll always have more people, but the Russians had more people, too, and they couldn't beat Germany without us, nor could you beat Japan without us.>>
... You don't actually believe that, and if so, the reverse must also be true, and if not, then you are wrong.
You cannot actually believe the Germans were winning in Russia and the Japanese were going to be permanent residents in China. If you do, your equation of time is faulty, and your read of history is wrong.
Hmmn, I may have hit upon something.
Here is a tip, "Time", it was only a question of time, and besides, because the side of just always win, even as sometimes an issue may crop up as to which side is slightly less unjust.
When the chips are down, I am actually more religious than you, in a biblical sense.
<<It might be impolite to mention this. If so, please forgive me.>>
Nothing to forgive, because you are wrong. However, you read testy, upset like, why?
