Chinese missile could shift Pacific power balance

Better worry more about all the ICBM's and Backfire bombers they acquired at the fall of the U.S.S.R.....actually they don't have to attack us now..they just have to call the notes due from the money we borrowed...why do you think the U.S.S.R. went down...they went broke trying to keep up with the Reagan arms race...we would have too except we had a better line of credit than they did.

Dave, you are a WISE man, my friend........there are serious parallels with the USSR and their economic downfall and what is starting to happen with us.

I still think our economy is significantly stronger than the USSR's was, but it is still very scary.

AND yea, those Backfire bombers really SCARE the crap out of me, but I believe we could pick EVERY one of them out of the sky if it came down to that.

Later,

From what I can tell teh TU-22 was never actually sold to Korea or China... The only ones not in service with the Russian Air Force were left in USSR territories during their breakup. Balarus is one country listed as having one... to be honest... not that intimidating of an airplane... has teh radar cross signature of a stadium... Patriots travel fast enough to take one down easy... ICBMs are a serious threat... their air force is not...

They dont need a missle! If they kept all their5 cargo carriers in port for two monthsm this country would go under.Imagine,every walnart store closed, dollar general with nothing to sell, and american companys with plants there, broke.We gave our country away long ago. When OUR defense contractorsm have top secret technology, built over there, we lost.

Just read today where China just passed Japans economy during the second quarter 2010...China's economy is second largest only to the United States...economists are guestimating China's economy, if it stays on the same trend that it has been, could pass up the United States economy in as little as twenty years.

I am not a tree hugger but I know with out any type of EPA they are doing what we did during our industrial revolution. Pollution will and has caught up with them and will get worse. I've seen pic's of dust storms overthere not to mention in the cities everyone wearing mask....Sorry to get off subject.

GREAT! Does that mean when we have hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods, they will send us economic aid and disaster assistance. If so, good, long over due.

Something to think about. It takes a court with suffcient authority to order an actual settlement for an over due and called note. Let them call it due, and let's see what world international court really has enough clout to FORCE the US to pay. After all, we still got more nucs, and still can build them faster then they can.

Picture this.....30 ferry boats land on the beaches of New Jersey, full of Chinese soldiers who march inland and attempt to occupy then repossess the Statue of Liberty..... Naw.....I don't think its gonna work.

Funny concept......"Today, NBC has learned the Chinese have sent an eviction notice to the Congress of the US declaring they are initiating foreclosure on the US Captial Building. Further, for failing repeatedly to pay the national loans the Chinese declared "Due on demand", the electric, and water have been cut off to the Capital Building earlier today. "

Nope.....don't see it happening.....go ahead, make our day........call the note!
