History following a common theme?

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 :(

@Jazz:

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.

You don’t read, do you?
It’s not illegal in germany:

Interracial marriage is illegal in Alabama, US of A !

Ewok…… did you really say i lost ten points in the other thread? Are you at least a bit embarrassed?

o and i am not embarassed

Hay F_alk, I heard that Dresden was flooded. What’s going on in Germany with the floods? Are any other cities affected?

We have major floodings all over the world actually. Have a look at China, Bangladesh, Phillipines and India.
In Europe ist mostly Austria, the Czech Republic and Germany, with the rivers Elbe and Mulde carrying lots of water. More or less all cities on their shores are/have been flooded. Dresden is the most important (historically), Bitterfeld one of the more dangerous (having a chemical processing plant which is/was in danger).
Hamburg will probably be saved, as the Elbe broadens quite a bit and the city is skilled in handling floods coming in from the North Sea.

In Austria I heard Salzburg was flooded and the Czech capital of Prague was also flooded. I believe the floods also poured into Slovakia.

Yeah China is pretty bad. We in Amercia get massive floods in Texas and off the Mississippi river all the time.
