I think we've adjusted enough already, so who wants their "Asian Homeland", they can keep it.

The US pays $500 for a simple wood handled claw hammer! Our spending does not equate to military might! You can count on the tech gap closing over night as well!
Not sure if Rickrolling or just stupid... Their women's army is larger than the entire population of the USA. Just lay down and say "no mas!"

The US lost in Vietnam despite its superior technology.
It lost in Iraq. The US left Afghanistan. The US makes propaganda and intimidates. Hollywood makes a few movies and shows like CSI and people are dumb enough to believe that this is reality.
That's what bullies do. Trick others into believing that they are powerful, while in fact they are weak.edit on 8-8-2012 by manbitesdog because: (no reason given)

You seen independence day? You know then why its 500 dollars for a hammer. Black projects that are off the books get their funding that way. Its one of the main lines they wanted cut from the movie because it is how they do get funding.

Let keep it simple, a US Marines perspective:
A: China and Russia have not been at was for 10 years under harsh conditions
- This allowed the US to sharpen its tactics
- Increase logistical efficiency even more so
- Pumped almost a Trillion dollars into defense, new weapons, x37, drones etc...
- Our Military knows what being at war is like, China and Russia do not
B: Logistics, no other country on earth could match us and keep a war going, supply lines etc...
C: US Military is the best trained in the world, because we have been honing our skills for 10 years
IMHO: The forced to fight Chinese Military and Russian Military would tremble if confronted with the US Military in full attack mode...because they have not been at war in the last decade, no experience other than training...
Come on people get real...
