China’s Missile Advances Aimed at Thwarting U.S. Defenses, Analysts Say:

HONG KONG — China is moving ahead with the development of a new and more capable generation of intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine-launched missiles, increasing its existing ability to deliver nuclear warheads to the United States and to overwhelm missile defense systems, military analysts said this week.

Never say never! Wars and the annihilation of entire populations have taken place for a lot less reasons then ; “we want you to pay us what you owe us or we really can use that land you are occupying”.

This quote is an example of some of the mentalities  we are dealing with when it comes to China and other countries that are presumed to be friends with the USA.

Sun Zhe, a professor of international relations at Tsinghua University in Beijing and a frequent commentator on U.S.-China relations, said that China was developing its military forces only to respond to continued efforts by other countries, particularly the United States, to continue improving their own forces.

“We have again and again said that we will not be the first country to use nuclear force,” he said. “We need to be able to defend ourselves, and our main threat, I’m afraid, comes from the United States.”

What does it take for some “fortune cookie nut case” to say that they “thought” they were being attacked and that is why he pushed the “Red Button”?

Six months ago when I saw that China built a gigantic, state of the art aircraft carrier my suspicious nature over took me. “They did doing that for a very good reason”.

Maybe some of the higher ups in the Chinese government think that the way the USA is going to settle their payment we owe them is by bombing their country?

At this point and time I would think that all countries that is lending money to the USA should cut us off completely and let us resolve the remained of this crisis on our own.  Our government is doing the same thing that has brought us to this financial calamity and instructing its citizens not to do; borrowing money we can not pay back.

Anyone that believes that we are living in a stable world has another guess coming. The last time I looked we were supposed to be allies with China.

As the old say goes” Keep your enemies close and your allies closer”.
