U.S. War with China “Inevitable,” Author Glain Says

[Njosnavelin]

Outside of the market madness, the biggest global news this week might be China sending its first aircraft carrier to sea.
The launch was not unexpected and China sought to downplay its significance, saying "it will not pose a threat to other countries."
Still, "it is the most potent symbol yet of China's desire to develop the power both to deny U.S. naval access to Asian waters and to protect its global economic interests, including shipping lanes," The WSJ reports.
Like many others, Stephen Glain, author of State vs. Defense, believes the U.S. and China are, indeed, on a collision course. "Absent a good faith attempt to negotiate this thicket of disputes between China and Taiwan and the Philippines and Brunei and others, I think it's inevitable," he says. "The Chinese are not going to back down."

Start the war and hide behind the Indians.

It's the American way.

it can be avoided. US needs to stop policing the world and China needs to mind their own business

If that happens, nice knowing 'ya, China.

 

[1ManRevolution]

Why would they invade us...Oh yeah, well owe them Trillions...

 

[StanScratch]

That would seriously be a bloody, bloody, bloody mess - literally. If it were prolonged, there would be a pretty good chance that both countries would be crippled beyond our present belief.

you mean, it was nice knowing the entire world.

first sign of that shit, and im outta here.

But to those who believe the U.S. and its allies must "bottle up" China, Glain says "there's nothing in those 3000 years of Chinese history" to suggest China's intentions are to militarily dominate the region. "On the contrary, they've always remained close to their own territory," he notes. "They have always been the Middle Kingdom between heaven and earth."

However, Glain fears the U.S. and its allies might provoke China into a war that might otherwise be avoidable. "Arms races tend to develop their own immutable momentum," he says, noting the Pentagon is embarking on an "enormous military buildup" in the region.

I feel that this is relevant.

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without
hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they’d
never expect it.

 

[LukeEl]

The alien greys that's the ones you got to watch out for.

 

[Doc Scurlock]

Maybe we can have another "Cold War"? We just need to find a Chinese Drago for Stallone to fight.

 

[Legzman]

Start the war.

It's the American way.

:thumbsup:

for the past two decades, China has been planning (fifth-generation) warfare and has no intention of using conventional weapons.

The Chinese launch ONE fucking aircraft carrier and we're thinking it signals 'inevitable' war with the lone military super power in the world?

Short man's syndrome?

I think I read something about that carrier being converted into a luxury hotel. I'd check yahoo but I'm getting ready to go home from work.

I can see a semi Cold War happening but never a full blown War to the death, and who gives a fuck if they launch one aircraft carrier, the Soviet Union had only one carrier too

:laying fallout 3 while browsing:: they'll hit anchorage, alaska first. I know this for near/kinda/not really fact!!

 

[tartanterrier]

At least they will be able to make a few decent movies out of this

 

[Supafly]
