The total military budgets of Russia and China are a good match for the combined military spending of France, the UK and Germany. Once you start throwing in the rest of the EU countries, many of whom are top 20 military spenders, it becomes lopsided in favor of the west rather quickly.

And that is before we even look at America.

This is not the days of the cold war, and the Soviet Union.

And this is the result of our great Foreign Policy that many of you favor.

I hope I don't have to see a WW3 In my lifetime but I am starting to get used to the fact that it might happen.

It is WORSE. China can cancel our credit card and the United States would collapse without firing a shot.

That is the point of the rhetoric you see/read/hear with these types of stories from the MSM.

Yes, I think it's coming, sooner than later.

Biological warfare?

Aerosol dispenser on the captured drone?

Kill off the populace without destroying the infrastructure.

That movie has already been done with Will Smith,...I Am Legend......

It's like the faint sound of the drums of war you hear in the distance.
It gets louder and louder over time and the shock and awe wear off.

We're seeing this everyday now..Iran did this or Iran threatened that or Iran has these many weapons.

I think you'll have to admit that they get a lot more for their money. A lot more "bang" for the buck.

China and Russia have centuries of animosity and both have already succumbed to the love of money. They won't do anything that will tip their fiscal apple cart. Their love of money is a capitalists nations biggest weapon against them. We are so worried that we will be conquered without even firing a shot - I propose that China will be conquered without firing a shot. Their people are attaining a standard of living that is getting better and better every day. Once people have a taste of the good life - there is no turning back. It may be painful, it may be bloody, and it may take several attempts. But China is slowly putting the nails into their own coffin. Freedom finds a way eventually to exist.

The citizens of china are also protesting and raising some sand over there. Your freedom comment has weight for sure.
