Re: [perhaps the place where we need to push harder is China (without who's support North Korea and Myanmar could not stand on their own for very long)?] "China would like that." I fail to see what they would 'like' about it.... Re: "Of course the longer we run export deficits with China the more of our country they will own." Perhaps it is PAST TIME that we insisted on all the big trading countries of the world (China, Japan importantly among them) use free-floating, market-priced sovereign currencies like we do. (Or else be subject to our 'adjusting' the price levels of their exports to us to approximate how they would be priced under market pricing conditions?) Now that would be 'heavy-handed' but I doubt that they will ever 'play fair' without some similar big stick as incentive. Believe it's past time that we insert such language (market-priced sovereign currencies) into all of our trade treaties. Re: "If we wait long enough they may just reposes our military." (Not that last remark just spun off into 'LaLa Land'... I was following along with your thinking until it detoured onto the island of unreality.... <g>)
