arboles said:Donald Rumsfeld rebuked China today for their massive military build up saying there are no enemies in the region to threaten them.
Rumsfeld saying that is like Dozer dan telling saw users that saws are fine standard and they shouldnt modify them. Look at the US military, its bigger than most of the world military spending combined.
Everyone seems to forget that China's communist regime is an evil wicked force we will have to deal with in the near future. The next time you buy a Chinese product remember the company that made it is most likely state owned. The employees of these companies are paid small wages and if they refuse to work they are placed in work camps where they are punished. The Chinese government hates democracy,
(US doesnt seem to mind the lack of it in Saudi or Uzbekistan as long as the achieves its means)
personal freedom, and most of all they hate the US constitution. Our government and the elite have sold out the working class Americans for cheap Asian labor and their cheap products. Take a close look at the US Harmonized Tariff Schedule. Chinese goods are taxed very little if any at all. The rich are greedy and near sighted. All they care about is making money NOW! We have been become so dependant on foreign textiles that a break in the supply chain from Asia would cripple our economy. I believe many of us will live to see the day when our economy will collapse. When it does there will be a series of events that will trigger an invasion on both the east and the west coast. I just hope those who are responsible will get the bayonet before me.
