Amazing story.
History following a common theme?
-
Actually (like I’ve said before) a shift of our gas powered electrical plants to Nuclear power would cut down our oil problems by a lot. Problem is, politics keeps that from happening.
Japan would be a problem for China, yes, but I don’t think it could resist for long. China does not have a large navy, but its vast numbers (and therefore, industrial production) would overcome Japan. By law, Japan cannot instigate a war. They have a very small army, it can’t even be called an army by law, just a “self defense force”.
Europe does have serious Oil concerns. However, Britain is 100% self sufficient.

I gotta tell ya yanny, slighty refreshing to see some with a left point of view open to ideas such as nuclear power.
good times :)
-
We can agree on something at least )
Personally I agree, the reason we’re not shifting to Nuclear power is to appease the Texas Oil Barons.

I am against nuclear power, there’s a plant in Pickering. I say Geothermal power is the best, Iceland uses it. According to the Venus Project, a very interesting way to reform the use f technology and energy, there is enough Geothermal energy alone ot supply the world’s entire needs for 10000 years.
Japan would not succumb. Do not forget that they were defeating the Chinese during the Sino-Japanese Wars. They had taken Manchuria, knocked out the Chinese coast and were slowly advancing into the Chinese interior.
-
That was a long time ago. China is better equipt now. And their training and equipment are getting better every day.
Geothermal is a great power source, but you can’t access it everywhere. However, for places like Japan and Iceland, it is an amazing source of power.
-
i agree with the Geothermal thing in Japan and Iceland. also i am Pro Nuclear power and other means of power besides fossil fuels

First, if you are talking about standing militaries, between the U.S., South Korea, and Taiwan, they mass roughly 3 million, compared to the Chinese 3 million. If you go to reserves, we have over 3 million more, while the Chinese have another 3 million. Now you have to add the North Koreans to that, but their military is also in s sorry state. Plus, they would be overwhelmed quickly, limiting mobilization time. Seato forces would probably be slightly outnumbered, but they are much more advanced, better trained and with significantly more powerful air and sea power.
Second, if there is more of a build up, we would actually be in more of an advatage. The Chinese fielding a 200 million man army, don’t make me laugh, Yanny. How would they feed them? HOw would they arm them? How would they make up for the lost productiveity? Less farmers, less workers. How would they train them?
Seato could train more troops faster who are better trained and armed. With our massively superior air force, we could waste the inferior troops they can mobilize.
South Korea could take care of North Korea by itself. The economies and population of Seato can mobilize/support 10s of millions of troops.
One major obstacle is China’s nuclear arsenal. However, between all four countries’ intelligence agencies and the ABMD system and airpower we are developing (which is already being deployed/developed in Seato countries) we can neutralize missiles on the ground/interrupt chain of command to launch them/take them out in the air.
Finally, not everyone in China loves the government, We can contact anti-government groups and use them to our advantage.

u killed the fantsy war :(

Yanny… you hate America because the company Microsoft is here?
Are you stupid or do you try to be funny ?

@greensleeves_16:
Europe is also by far a union and imo not subject to strong patriotic values. Only a war against a major power outside of europe is able to make europe a strong military power.
You are european, and talk of the need of a strong military? Seems like you need some compensation for the world cup :) :) :)
I am pretty sure that (depending on how long the US stay the major power on this planet) the next or the one after that won’t need a dominant military anymore.
There won’t be any need tp “conquer” if you dominate economically.
Problem with the economy at the moment is, that it puts profit over everything, and trading with ‘banned’ countries is highly profitable. But, as this has to change, the need for the military decreases. -
@Mr:
And while Im on it, if your going outlaw websites, my not books too?
“Mein Kampf” is illegal in germany.
-
yea haha nething Nazi is probably ilegal in Germany. like for instance. on www.waffenss.com they cant sell shirts and movies to German Residents and stuff cus its against the law lol
-
im strongly opposed to a bigger european army mind you. But its the only way to make europe into a world power again. I dont want us to become a world power, im sure we learned from the US experience…

I prefer to ban Nazi stuff than having a state which had interracial marriage illegal, though not punishable anymore. (http://www.majorcox.com/columns/interracial_marriage.htm)
Another nice text about racism (and how France is less racist than germany or the US) : http://www.taz.de/pt/2002/08/19/a0148.nf/text

inter racial marrige is ilegal in Germany? this is a suprise to me :roll:

200 million man army… of course not. How about 50 Million, with replaceable losses. China won’t worry much about 100,000 being lost in the battle, theres 150 million potential drafties out there.
The Chineese Air Force isn’t pathetic, remember they can see our Stealthe Bombers. The Bombers would likely be based in Japan. To bomb deep into China, they are going to go without Fighter Support. And we know what happens then.
China will overwhelm South Korea and Taiwan easily. Japan is another matter, but if the Chineese built up their navy in the pre war years, you never know. Keep in mind we’re not going to war this very second. China’s space program is well underway. Soon they will have spy satellites everywhere we do.

Israel supplies China with weapons, but outdated ones do to the request of the United States. This is to keep China in check.
