They recently had a Chinese Army officer write a book - advocating China whupping up on the US, and taking the position of world leader the guy thinks belongs to China.<br /><br />Getting such a book published in the Chinese controlled economy must indicate some high-ranking sympathy for the notion.<br /><br />I notice that China has also locked in firm contracts for a decade or two of oil - while the US bans drilling. At some point in the not-so-distant future, our fleets and military will be grounded when they decide to come calling. I mean, as Saudia Arabia and Great Britain reach the ends of their oil fields - we can expect them to stop exporting to keep their own defenses running.<br /><br />Our ships and tanks would be ever so much cheaper to run, if we just change to steam and burn corn directly, without all the fuss about ethanol. Although ethanol and biofuels would be handier for in-flight refueling.Brad K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18378344866487206569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-88761784214167050442010-11-23T23:10:42.017-05:002010-11-23T23:10:42.017-05:00Their plan is not of a direct military action agai...Their plan is not of a direct military action against us. It's invasion of Taiwan, Japan and all other countries in Asia.
