I'm tired of watching these jerks launch missles over Taiwan, listening to them threaten to blow up LA. We ought to start making the world real painful for this bunch. We ought to start making the world real painful for this bunch. When minimum wage is just enough to bring food home and socialism has destroyed dreams. You want to finish them off. There is of course a major difference between those people and ourselves they pee upside down? Really? Or is the major difference we are FREE and they dont have the funds to get here to be free. So if we wipe them out hey i guess they are free. I suppose if one their planes requested they needed to land on our shores we would blow them up. Or i guess i am too female and think that we would think first wonder why? Second i think of many lives and third do we want to go war with these people. I sort of think China didn't or she would of blown up the plane people and all instead of letting her land. I kind of think we didn't or we would of declared war the same day. I sort of think man is at fault here some where but i am not God i can't judge who did what. I just don't feel all men should suffer for an error.

Yes. We have to watch them closely. It's almost a sure thing that their growing militarism will end up in regional war.

you pump up your downtrodden masses with the nationalistic ambrosia of military power The downtrodden masses in China (mostly peasant farmers) could care less about the politics of the country. There only concern is their rice crop. preferable someone who's success they are intensely jealous of, like Taiwan or the US. China is not jealous of the U.S. We are barbarians in their eyes, just like the Brits and the rest of the West. They use us when we are useful (economically), and ultimately, if they can, they will shut us out. Yes, we should absolutely be spying on this crowd, and we should intensify our intelligence gathering and be prepared. I agree. If for no other reason than the boys on both sides need to play. Same old twentieth century totalitarian crap. You underestimate how far China has come. Talk to some of the young up and coming capitalists in Guangzhou or Shanghai and they will tell you stories of how difficult it was to travel from province to province within their own country a few years ago. Now they move about freely. They also joke about politicians now, a sure ticket to jail in the past. The rising capitalist class in China does not give a crap about Communism, they only want to make money and get a better life. The only difference between this group and a similar demographic in the U.S. is that they are better educated and work harder.
