The thing about China, is that if it were in their political/strategic interest, I think they wouldn’t think twice of breaking the back of the world’s economy and throwing America and everyone else into turmoil. If, as a result, they could play some hand and WIN. You think the Chinese leadership would give a rat’s patootie if masses of their own population were tossed into starvation meanwhile? Ha.

Except we haven’t reached that point yet. The US is still, with everything, too strong. Too strong militarily. After four or eight years of BHO and nice new “peace dividends,” maybe not so much. Maybe that’s when the ChiComs pull the plug and let the whole world go to hell. Last man standing wins.
