[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]Partypup: Well, not to sound like a complete saber rattling nationalist, but if this scenario looks likely to come to fruition, I say we fall back on the one area of uncontested American supremacy: Our military.
How, exactly, is China planning on getting their 60% of imported oil back home from the Mideast? They have no “blue water” navy to speak of and I can just imagine how thrilled US Navy sub commanders would be lighting up China’s merchant fleet.
Don’t think it will come to that? I think the TPTB have already game planned this scenario out and wouldn’t hesitate for a second. You push the US far enough, we’ll do anything. Think Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
We could literally choke the world in terms of closing off all avenues of transport, whether sea lanes, air corridors, or roads.[/quote]
As long as we have people like Obama in the White House then China will take what they want.

What short term memory!!! As long as we had a president like Bush Jr, ANY nation will take what they want. The financial meltdown could’ve been stopped/controlled during the 8 years of Bush but he had no clue.
Thanks to Bush, we are now going to pay the price.

Sorry, but drilling won’t help:

Fact is, the bad guys have *way* more than we will ever have.
If we want it, the plan has gotta be “invade, invade, invade”[/quote]
But that will balloon our deficit, forcing Fed to print more $$$, and making $$$ even MORE irrelevant.
The plan should be get off of oil but that will never happen…
