A war between China and the United States is inevitable. China has started an arms race in the pacific. It is investing in a large a deep seas fleet, which has alarmed both Japan and South Korea. Most importantly, it has alarmed the United States. As a result, the United States has made arrangements with its allies in the pacific, and committed more military resources to defending the area.
World War III is coming. The sooner we fight the Chinese, the better. I recommend destroying China's fleet and dock, and blockading it. Our economy will take a hard hit, we may even have to raise taxes, but the Chinese rely on food imports. Denying humanitarian aid to China will infuriate the UN, but they will capitulate. The communist regime will face collapse unless it satisfies US demands.
The demands, of course, should be reasonable. They include:
1. China will cease building a deep seas fleet, and surrender all deep sea military vessels to the US.
2. China will cease hacking the US, and cooperate in extraditing its hackers to the US.
3. China will limit the size of its military and investment in military research.
4. China will enforce foreign patents.
5. China will discontinue manipulating its currency.
6. China will cease meddling in Middle Eastern and South American affairs.
This is a war the US could win in the present day. The Chinese government would not resort to nuclear war, because a nuclear war is more expensive than those concessions. They are not being asked to give up territory, for example. However, if we allow the arms race to continue, a costly conventional war or exchange of nuclear missiles becomes a real possibility. We gamble less now than we do later.
Too bad Obama is weak.
