#13 that's why you take out China 1st...
Situation: 3 'Super Powers'...
1 aging Super Power...the U.S.
1 ancient/quasi Super Power...Russia
1 up and coming Super Power...China.
We are almost at a WWJD moment...but as I'm an
atheist and don't believe in Jesus, let's change that to a WWPD 'what would Putin do'
moment, and ask what he would likely do if he could switch places with us...
Answer: he would attack China while he still
thought he could win. (barring, of
course, negotiation and being their
ally--which is Russia's current
paradigm w China). But in this make
believe scenario, Russia is in the
U.S.'s current situation...
Let's face it folks, as in Game of Thrones or
the movie Highlander, 'there can be only one'.
World dominant power that is...
So....either America capitulates to China, and slowly let's them take over 1/3 of the world or more...slowly fading into history, or we agree on some sort of divied up world where Russia, the U.S., and China have 'spheres of influence', which will last what??? 10-20 years before China says, 'nope, we want it all...'
Or...the U.S. acts while it still can, while
it is still ahead... believe me, this scenario has probably been run a few thousand times by now by U.S. command...
...and it's getting close to Jesus time.
eventually when you go to the bathroom,
you have to ---, or get off the pot...
I hope there is another way out...but someone will have to bend...and I don't see that happening w the current leaders in the world's 3 super powers...
