Add to the list of Christine O'Donnell's gaffes this one: She is now a super duper secret agent, with access to classified information that not even the president can see. And, BTW, she got this classified information from super duper secret missionaries. LOL. This happened in 2006, and like many other gaffes she had made, this one is coming back to haunt her.
Actually, China stated a long time ago that they were planning on a war with the US. They are still doing that. If you want a minor example of that, look at their small arms development. Their new infantry rifle cartridge optimizes armor penetration at the expense of soft tissue disruption. Please take a look at the nations that surround China and see who issues body armor on a widespread basis. The answer of course, is none. Who does? The US.
Mike Castle's a fiscal Conservative? :rofl
You are the most paranoid person on planet Earth...
I have 3 letters for you.
MAD
When all you've got is a hammer ...You are the most paranoid person on planet Earth...
China isn't ready to go to war with us yet, but make no mistake, they will. Right now they are sucking in huge bucks selling us stuff and making our economy dependent on their industry.
Before you say that it makes no sense that they would start a war with their largest trading partner, wars seldom make much sense after they've started. Guess which nation was Germany's largest trading partner prior to 1940? Answer: France.
Mike Castle was a winner, who could have helped the GOP take over the Senate. O'Donnell is a sure fire loser, who is now down 13 points in the polls. Stick a fork in her. She is done.

Why would China want to go to war against us? They don't need to defeat us.
They will slowly own us.
And prior to 1940, Japan's largest trading partner was The United States. Ric! You're on to something here! :rofl
The world has changed since then.
You're a smart but misinformed guy. You know what MAD is...
So how can you have a war without MAD being a factor...
I mean the USSR and America never went to war because of it. Why is this any different?
And you could just as easily say that China is dependent on your money, as opposed to you being dependent on their industry...
Like I said....Germany's largest trading partner in 1940 was France. However, that didn't stop them from starting a war. Japan's largest trading partner in 1940 was the US.
We don't learn from history. We sold Japan the steel and resources they needed to militarize. When we cut them off due to their aggression in China it was too late. They had already built their military and then decided that they had no choice but to go to war for the resources they considered their due, or sink back to being a second or third rate nation. They chose Pearl Harbor.
We dump billions and billions of dollars into the Chinese economy, which they in turn use to purchase military technology from abroad and improve their own production capability.
In the real world, it isn't just dollars, cents, yuan and the profit margin. It is national survival.
Pure logic doesn't apply to international relations. Most wars of aggression are not logical, they are emotional, and they assume results that are usually more hopeful than rational, Jet
There's one issue with your entire logic Ric.
#1: Those wars happened before Nuclear Weapons were invented.
#2: Everything was made in Factories, that could be captured by the invading countries and turned to them for their benefit.
#3: The Wealth of a country was physical. So it could be captured and transported back to the invading country for their benefit.
