| So, our future enemy is trying to present itself as a non-threat? Shocking!
The fact of the matter is that regardless of how great our military is, I don't believe we can win a war with China. We could tie via the use of nukes, but we can't win. It's a simple matter of population size. If the nuclear option is off the table, then they would win a war of attrition.

| Not sure what the point is of making these comments. It's not like people believe what they say to begin with. | |

Life is like Risk, the only countries that you can hold down are Australia, Africa, and South America. And France always loses. | |
