And you just explain to the world what kind of people you are.
You threat with nukes those who dare to ask the US for the money the own them.
You ask the world for money, the world lends you money but you don’t want to pay it back, and if the countries who lend you the money (china) ask for what it’s theirs, You threat them with nuclear anhilation!
It’s not their problem that you have been printing dollar non-stop for a hundred years, no other country has ever commit such atrocity, you scam the whole planet with your ‘dollar-gold’ convertibility, one day you said, well, it seems we change our opinion uoaaah!! With the status of only superpower you force all the planet to only buy and trade oil with dollars, and the countries who dare to challenge you, get invaded, like Irak, or Iran, all the while you install more military bases in central asia, you are the empire, not ‘the russians, but you got the press, you learned that from the nazis.

You are wrong. They don’t depend on the US, the don’t need you, sure, you are a good client, you buy all the shit they make, even your core networking equipment is made in china (with gifts inside).
The US can’t survive. China will just slow down a bit and redirect the shit, the products to europe or to the new countries who will take the place of the US. They got the bigest manufctaring, the best bussiness incentives, and 1 billion of cheap worker still in china, maybe four hundred are already middle-class or about to become.
Of course, a neocon believes th romans were gods, well, if you ever put foot in roman territory you would see the ruins of all the cities they burned alive, the romans only brought two things, poverty and propaganda, the destroy everything, slave, and tax so much people die of hunger while the romans had seven bitches each 24/7 in their palaces. Propaganda because they burned ancient libraries, old statues and anything that remembered the life without the new masters.
Keep scaring the world with your supernukes and your super shield, one day you won’t have even money to power them on. You know, there is enough dollars to buy the planet four times over. Only your nukes keep people afraid and using the green-toiler-paper.

HAHAHAHAHHAHA, if Russia/China destroy US economy, by your logic China/Russia would have lost $100 trillion of their own money, lost their entire economy as well by losing the biggest market of their products, put US 5750+ nuclear arsenal at risk, lost bread basket of the world (I guess you don’t need wheat/corn/rice/beef), and pushed the world even worse than what the barbarians did to Rome. It took 1500 years to catch back up to Roman standards. This time, I doubt if the world can come back at all. You don’t think you can withstand the nuclear war, do you?

“The US is still the largest manufacturing base in the world,“
You are wrong, his is the last year of the US.
Next year China will be officialy the first in the world.
” 30 trillion dollar GDP vs 2 trillion GDP. But the Russians have more resources..etc.?“
Let me tell you one think,
100 TRILLION DOLLARS.
That it the debt the US have.
And guess who owns them, CHINA and RUSSIA.
So, the moment they get angry, the obliterate the US economy, massive inflation, unenemployment, civil unrest in a country with million of armed people very angry with the government…
Let me tell you which econmies are growing and which ones are losint, negative groth… russian estimated aprox for next years, 5%, china, 8–9%, US, –1%…
Guess which countries have been buying massive cuantities of gold and silver? Russian and China, this will back their currencies the day you discovered Cheney sold your gold to Russia so he could pay his wars…
So, tell me, the moment you go to war…
Who the hell is going to lend a single cent to an overextend massively in debt in a reccesion with skyrocketing inflation and unemployment and a very long and difficult war coming?
Your military has never been so weakened.
And you haven’t read the latest about new generation warfare, yes, yous planes can be bombed in US soil while they are sleeping, its called terrorism, and if you are at war or about to enter one, your enemies will easily fund and equip their own special forces teams who could already be in US soil and order to do massive damage at night in terrorist ops, and with your 26 intelligence agencies and growing, your coordination would be minimal, even less with satellites down.
So don’t assume that because you are at peace you be attacked first in a preemptive one.

“Mis-ter Pu-tin ne-ver hangs a-round
When he hears this Mi-ghty sound
Here we come to SAVE THE DAY
That means that the U-ni-ted States are on their way
Yes-sir when there is wrong to right
the U-ni-ted States will join the fight
On the sea or on the land
they’ve got the sit-u-a-tion well in hand.”

I think someone should take the effort to moderate the comments on Defense Tech.
I struggled through Roy Smith’s “enlightened” words and oh man…
although “Stop watching Red Dawn” was priceless

Alex,
I am aware of WW2 history, and am not advocating a conflict, but this is about me and Roy’s tank obsession during WW3, and a fear, that somehow Russia has a better, larger, and a more powerful military, using their ‘vast’ manufacturing capacity and high tech systems.
I specifically wrote, the US would never invade Russia proper; this is (war gaming)) only about freeing Georgia proper. The Russians will never and can never occupy all their old Soviet stomping grounds, so a widening campaign would not happen too much.
I don’t buy the quality vs quantity arguments for a variety of reasons, anyway. Yes, I do believe history is over rated for a guide to the future. A philosophical argument, not all that popular but keeps the play book fresh and I find it more relevant to actual world events.
The simple fact that the US can bomb the hell out any country in the world, and no one can bomb the US mainland with conventional weapons. We know it takes the US 2 years to mobilize its industrial base. The US is still the largest manufacturing base in the world, despite the fears to the contrary. (even bigger than our outsourcing friend China)
I know it is Americans’ nature to make threats bigger than they are, or even make some up, but Russia is not the Soviet Union, and even the Soviets were much more pathetic than we all thought. Stop watching ‘Red Dawn’.
Better ‘safe than sorry’ arguments are BS as well.
US/NATO vs Russia and who? 30 trillion dollar GDP vs 2 trillion GDP. But the Russians have more resources..etc.?
China won’t be helping anyone.

Roy, man you are nuts about some tank facts. Have you forgotten about the Air Force, Apaches, A-10s? You can try to come back with something about the Russian Air Force but it can’t even hold the jock strap (or training bra) of the USAF. The main battle tank is useful but grand Eastern Theater tank battles are way obselote.

“You have been obsessed with this old fashion E/W tank battle all week. A cold war obsession, with thousands of Soviet tanks rolling into Europe. Typical linear thinking that drives me nuts.“
No,all of those Russian tanks are going through Georgia,Azerbaijan,Armenia,Kazakhstan,Uzbekistan,Kyrgyzstan,Tajikistan,IRAN,TURKEY,& Iraq through to ISRAEL. They are not going through Europe.I also read where the U.S. Army is totally surprised with Russia’s speed in sending troops into Georgia.Obviously,they didn’t think that Russia was that sophisticated.

The Sherman tank was a total piece of crap compared to the German Tiger tank. The ONLY advantage that the Sherman had was that we made so damn many of them compared to the finite number of tiger tanks.
This is the same situation with the Russian T-72,T-80,& T-90 tanks. They can produce so many while we cannot produce one M1 Abrams to replace any tank we lose. Saudi Arabia,Kuwait,Iraq,& Australia are getting their tanks from OUR stock,or at least Iraq & Australia are. Egypt is supposed to have a factory that still makes M1 tanks,but Israel could easily blow it out of existence.
Why is it so hard to comprehend this?
