Didn't China supply the chips to run all the US war machines?
Or the Yank can say...what bill? I dont know what you're talking about
Also another way to stop the War machine of the USA would surely be to say " Pay your Bill yankee".
Not able to do that are you.
What supplies? Dog doodoo?
I doubt very much that the USA would survive without China's supplies, So are you all really advocating shooting the hand that feeds you?
Well...they did before the whole 'made in china' fever started to flood not just the US but international markets too...have you ever checked the market in your own country? (Wherever you reside).
If you wanted to prove the USA can survive, try it for just 1 month buy nothing from China and use nothing made in China. If you can't do it why do you think the other 320 million of you would do it.
Diddo
Good luck
You're definitely not from China nor from Russia. Hunch tells me that you're a neighbor Eitherway...wishful thinking and dream on

Really? Gee...never thought about it by the US military. Thanks for pointing out the possible outcome scenario

Im so glad you think so....but in reality, the US could wipe China's butt in a navy fight chief. Theres no 2 other countries combined in the world that can match her. And thats the reality of it
I attribute this comment of yours to wishful thinking....
NTA: I don't even think China has the moxy to anger the US politicos as usually the military follows...and China does indeed fear the US military as it should.edit on 25-7-2012 by Kastogere because: (no reason given)
It will be funny to watch your huge carriers sink. You do know china can do that now, right? Once they are gone, skies are clear to bomb the rest of your fleet into hell and strafe the survivors. Will be funny watching the US go up against China and Russia. I cannot wait.
Ok. I would guess a possible islamic national from UK ok..move on. I guess I should stop feeding the trolls

You yanks are so arrogant it is actually disgusting, that's why it is always a pleasure to watch you get a slapping, be it from people or nature.

Another foreigner who wants to see us burn eh?
Nice redigression of events that happens with many military equipments out of several that are in the arsenal (yes...even chinese and ruskies have equipment failure and/or sabotage). However something tells me you're only stirring the pot I smell troll.

Were way more advanced ...until the Mudahijeen sold the Chinois that F117 that crashed in the Bosnian War ...and until Lockheed-Martin let Politburo sanctioned hackers sit in on technical online symposiums (for months!) for their JSF program ...and until the US' "best buddies", Pakistan, let Chinese spies in to rummage through the wreckage of that Bin Laden stealth helo, whose self-destruct so opportunely failed (Made In China?) ...and until Iran passed that captured "highly sensitive" stealth glider (that Barack almost invaded them for) over to their Red brethren... (et al).
It's amazing how the simple present and past tense of a verb can change the entire complextion of a discussion, isn't it? The wonders of linguistics!

With what weapons will China perform these miracle acts? They are at sea trials now with their 1st carrier. Substandard aircraft and pilots guarantee our air dominance.
I, too, would like to look at 'US military dominance' through post WWII-coloured glasses. But, this is 2012, and reality dictates that the technological gap has closed considerably and is much more easily bridged than it was when German and Jew scientists were fleeing Europe.
The fact of the matter is, the US (and the West) has been distracted with corralling old skool fossil fuels in Middle-East desert shít-holes (and making many a fanatical friend in the process) and, as a result, has let the horse bolt on China. How else would they have let the single most important (unsubstitutable!) constituent of anything 'military' that matters today - Rare Earth Elements - slip through their crude oily fingers?
The Chinese control around 95% of the production of this stuff today and, although only 25% of the know deposits of REE are under Chinese land, sourcing and processing these ores aren't an overnight proposition ...and entail some nasty 'isotopic' side effects to boot! They're in fact manipulating the world markets as - we - speak. Just yesterday it was reported that the WTO have been petitioned (by the US, Japan and others) to "investigate" China's dubious REE dealings. Of course, a fat lot of good that will do when for the past three decades they've been manipulating their very currency to play no small part in getting them to where they are today!
See, speaking doodie is kind of easy. But, buttressing the smelly, hot air with more than barechested bravado is something else entirely. 'Big guns' won't win tomorrow's wars. But, big brains might.edit on 25-7-2012 by Sablicious because: moaredit on 25-7-2012 by Sablicious because: (no reason given)

From what I understand of the definition of the 'Gen Bieber' neologism "troll", those the term connotes generally do not forward paragraphs of facts to buttress their points.
Just sayin'...
