“Herb, China is thinking of going after India.”

Whoa. That would be a time to keep our heads down and focus on our own problems. Not make so much as a peep. Just let them fight it out. I absolutely guarantee that no good can come of it for either side or anybody that sticks their nose in. With luck, Putin will join the party. After that, the boards would be pretty much clear and we’d be relatively safe downsizing our military by about 3/4 for quite awhile. That would be good, because we’d likely have a sudden need to man the decon equipment and figure out how to grow a hell of a lot of food in a world with significantly less sunlight than there is right now.
