Re: Far East arms race

They wouldn't dare attack the world's greatest Navy as it crashes into itself listening to iPods, cripples its stockpiles to save money, and destroys morale by forced re-education about the beauty of gayness!!

The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.

Re: Far East arms race

war between China and the US is inevitable imho

And the cause the of the war will be the same as it was 200 years ago:

"...the cause of the war is the kowtow- the arrogant and insupportable pretensions of China that she will hold commercial intercourse with the rest of mankind not upon terms of equal reciprocity, but upon the insulting and degrading forms of the relations between lord and vassal." -John Quincy Adams

"war between China and the US is inevitable imho"
Neither US nor China will starve its citizens and start a new econ crisis.
