[Goldmund]

[sniffa]

[tsuki]

2. Who cares? What will China

[Goldmund]

3. Great point

Will edit OP

[Junkdrawer]

5. They're holding a whole lot of our IOUs....

times have changed. Crashcart's thinking hasn't.

6. Didn't China and Russia recently conduct mutual training exercises?

War games? I think they did.

[Inland]

4. Laugh at our stupid ass country, wonder if the nation's gone nuts,

take as much advantage as they can, and snuggle up to China. Basically the same shit they are doing now.

7. China dumps everything ...

And our economy immediately goes in the toilet ... I'm talking down in the pipes where the rushing water never moves anything, and it just sits there and rots until the stink is so bad not even rats will go near it.

In short, it's over.

8. Unless we nuke 'em, it just won't work

Afghanistan was anarchy with a uniform on.

Iraq was far tougher.

Iran isn't doable without nukes.

Thanks to Crashcart we no longer have the military power to pull it off, especially in the face of a hardened military in support of a democratically elected government allied with Russia and China.

Doesn't mean the village idiot won't try it.

9. the whole SCO will nuke back

And probably the observers as well.

[Horse with no Name]

10. China and Russia are allies

as are Russia and Cuba. Cuba, North Korea and Venezuela are allies...get my drift?
France isn't gonna back the US.
I have a strong feeling this isn't something we should be sinking our teeth into.

11. WW3

It will be the end.
