To the posters saying that the U.S. economy is too weak for war, I refer you to the Great Depression. War is what got the U.S. out of it. In fact, I'm sure there are plenty of sick pricks in the U.S. that would welcome war for this very reason.

The state of the U.S. economy has no bearing as being a preventative measure against a wide, multi-nation war. If history truly repeats itself, it would be welcomed by some in a macabre fashion.

We would lose.

Um .. thats not quite how it works. America is the one in trouble because of China's bonds. Essentially the US needs to do pretty much what China demands, they are in a very very weak position.

You don't need to go back 80 years to see the effects that wars have on the US economy of today.

How did the last 2 wars work out for the US economy? :Oh crap

That would be good - except the U.S. is no longer as strong in the manufacturing dept. as it was capable of during the depression. Along with Canada its become more service-oriented.

i.e. - Bethlehem Steel in PA and Lackawanna no longer exists (for example).

There is a huge difference between a "world war" and an occupation campaign.

You raise a valid point. I would be inclined to think that such industries would be revved back up, but you're right, you never know. Just my thoughts. I hope we do not find out.

why is this happenning

Same sattelites that spotted wmds in Iraq?

best read on the forum today so far.

I just hope when NK launched something, it is not overpowered and overshoot SK then hit us down south :error:helpme

we already have lasers that can disintegrate shitty missiles like theirs but the rest of the world is fucked.
