Thanks. Interesting read.

Quote:China’s ability to counter is limited. It has money in American banks, and if the Chinese want to redeposit that money in European banks, it’s their risk to take. Their military capabilities remain limited. Their navy remains no match for the U.S. Navy, and they can’t afford a war whose outcome they can’t predict. The U.S. is 25 percent of the world’s economy. China can’t walk away from the U.S. without enormous pain. The U.S. can’t afford to leave the relationship unchanged, and China may not be able to stonewall Trump as they did with other presidents.

China and the US economy are too intertwined now for either to completely break off the relationship. China has to keep selling their stuff to the US, and since the US is the buyer, they hold the upper-hand... Even though that it may be small, due to US citizens desire to buy cheap crap.

I swear I didn't consul Trump but that's exactly what I've been saying for like forever. We owe them (China) money and short of starting a war to get it back that's not happening because for sure they wouldn't get it. They need our country to sell crap to us. Sure, there's other countrys but those countrys don't have our spending power. If any country other than Iran or N.Korea (because they're batsh*t crazy) starts an atomic war with us EVERYONE loses. What? Are you saying that we could have a conventional war with Russia or China. Not happening. It might start out that way but I guarantee sooner or later in a conventional war someone will start lobbing atomic missiles and all SHTF scenario will ensue. They know that too so the only ones that don't care are the Iranians and North Koreans and I think whomever is aiding these countrys will rue the day that they did. It will destroy all that they worked to build because they will be sucked into the conflict.

You better proofread your posts Chappy, I'll be gunning for you.

Ohmygosh, I said gun.

My spell check was telling me that but I'm not going to kowtow to no machine.

Haha, I'm more likely to spell a word three different ways. At least you are consistent!
