Taiwan is doing everything possible not to tick off China, under strict demand from the USA.

Let us presuppose that China had numerous spy sattelites orbiting Earth and often over american soil. Let us also imagine that the US government had at their disposal powerul laser guns that could blind spy sattelites. Would you hesitate to use them? I would not.


I really think if we get more wars it is not going to be between USA and China directly, but through third party states. It IS going to be the cold war all over again. I am already looking forward to this. Clancys novels has been utterly shoddy ever since the fall of the Soviet Empire :rotfl:

A good book to buy is the "Clash of Civilzations"
by Proff. Samuel P. Huntington, the Eaton Professor of the Science of Government and Director of the John M. Olin Institute for Strategic Studies at Harvard University

He predicted that Islam would be a threat to the west a decade before 9/11.
You read his book, he claims if the west don't wake up, they will fall to a conflict with Islam and China.
Deng Xaioping reportedly asserted in 1991, that a Cold War is under way between China and America.


What is shocking about this book, is that every thing Proff. Samuel P. Huntington has predicted so far, has been 100% accurate.

Theres another.....

"Jerusalem Countdown" (John Hagee)
About all of the stuff in the middle east.
especially damming, though, is that this book was written well before all of the stuff in the Mid East, Published later, and EVERYTHING it predicted came true. One worry though, is that if all of this stuff in this book happened, he also predicts that Russia will come to the side of the Arabs during the "final days" of the mid east.

But remember that not all preditions come true.....
