Participant[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.

ParticipantI have paid half my fathers rent since 1998. Fortunately he lives in a low cost area. One day if I get rich I will just buy him a house.
Now I know how it was for him to pay for me growing up. Especially every few months when he needs new tires or car repairs or whatever “off budget”
Our society needs to go back to how it use to be. The deal was your parents took care of you when you were growing up and when they get old you take care of them

ParticipantThe only reason Obama got involved was because he was promised a cut in what the Blago’s of Chicago were going to skim off the top of the expenditures getting the city ready.
Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn’t understand how it works in Chicago where nothing is done for free.
