No, RPM, that wasn't me being facetious... At 100 years, my grandfather has the immune system of Navy Seal. It's everyone else I'm worried about. Myself included.

However, when somebody close to you gets an early 'all-aboard' to the train to the great hereafter, you'll know which one of your heros to thank.

F. A president that claims that god wanted him in the job and uses religion and fear as an ally to get 4 more years.

Usually a bad combo.

To answer this you have to define what you mean by threat to the US.

Is the threat one of military conquest, economic persuasion, political collapse / persuasion or what?

That determines the scope of the first question asked in the thread. Until then it's way too open ended to really answer with any authority.

Perhaps it needs to be addressed as such in multiple threads, one per question.

First they start with Korea....using slave labor and world class ship yards they convert a bunch of super tankers into carriers and troop landing ships.

Europe imediatley starts to apease them giving them recouces and money. Then the middle east.

It wouldn't be hard for them to seriously wreak financial havoc in the US.

It may sound far feched but what isn't far feched these days. I havnt actually checked this fact but I've heard over and over that they have more soldiers in their army than we have bullets in ours. Technology only goes so far when it comes to numbers and they've closed the technology gap big time in the last 10 to 15 years.

China truely is the sleeping dragon. I'd hate to be around when it gets poked with a stick.

Dunno. Just dont see China in a war of aggression.
Had they wanted to they could have along ago. They certainly as you put it have the manpower to do so and loosing a few million people would probably be more of a long term benifit to them.

That alone is a scary thought.

Isn't the male female ratio out of whack in China too? Boy no prospect for P***Y would make any man aggressive....

The Internet was the last market that folks thought had "inifinite growth potential." Greed kills.

WalMart won't sell George Carlin's latest book - pretty much says it all.

The biggest threat to America isn't Americans - it's the American government. The strength of the party is more important than the welfare of the people.
