China's stealth war on the U.S. Maj. Gen. Zhu Chenghu of the Chinese People's Liberation Army caused quite a stir last week when he threatened to nuke "hundreds" of American cities if the U.S. dared to interfere with a Chinese attempt to conquer Taiwan.
If they try to weaken the US by economic means
1 000 000 guerrilla operatives sitting in your front yard
The moment war breaks you are screwed. How many infantry in the U.S army? close to a million?
Actually I do own firearms and just about everyone I know does. I believe its an important right for this very reason we are discussing.
your best chance at winning is with your right to bear arms. So i hope you got guns in your house.

Trade between chinas people and American businesses will slowly cause the communist government to lose power ... it will be forced to slowly open up more and more.. giving small freedoms here and there until either it falls to pieces like the SU or it changes slowly to the extent that its not communism anymore.

Can you imagine that 10000000 hungry Chinese are going to US when they communistic regime has fallen apart!!!THEY WILL WORK FOR FOOD!!!!
Dont you have enough Muslims and others!!
The worst thing any nation can ever do is attack the US homeland in hopes of wining a war because it will cause a HUGE banding together of the nation and leaders with one goal DESTRUCTION of whomever attacked.
"Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. … No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare."
? Thats like saying damn the allies for invading the sovereign nation of Germany in ww2.
Keep invading sovereign nations
?? Illegal to whom , you?? If they attack or plan to attack the US then the US Government is full within its rights to detain them.
Illegally incarcerating multinationals
What are you talking about? There is no policy of torturing multinationals in the United States.

The people of the United States will defiantly not be welcoming some foreign invasion force from China or anywhere else.
Look, if you want to try to compare what's going on now to what HAD to be done to Nazi Germany, this ain't gonna work out for you.
Illegal according to international law and the Geneva Conventions. Look it up. Illegal according to US law. Innocent until PROVEN guilty.
No, they would soften up defenses by massive bombing raids
Why not according to your reasoning ... The US was never attacked by Germany yet the US invaded and occupied anyway!!!
My step brother helped dig up and photographed Saddam's mass graves in Iraq. Arms tied behind their back and bullet holes through their head. Hmm actually sounds allot like Nazi Germany.
Because these terrorist are supported funded and trained by these states they are in fact agents of these governments and therefore when they attack the US this IS AN ACT OF WAR.
I think you need to read the geneva conventions it is not illegal to detain terrorist!!
If there is a murder in a building and you were caught on video as being there and having the murder weapon and had the victims blood on your clothes , therefor were the suspect in the murder. The police would arrest you. You would be kept in prison until trail. Then at the trail you will be represented by a lawyer and you will be innocent until proven guilty. In other words they will have to PROVE that you are guilty or you will be allowed to go free. This is exactly what happends to suspected terrorist. There is nothing horrible or new here this is how the law system works!!!
