Ah good. And its excellent that you're practicing in a Hawaii-like environment, too.

But having said that, considering the video game apoco-prep technique, there is this problematic new Chinese video game out, that has American troops as the bad-guys:

I don't think that the Chinese want to wok on the wild side because this might lead to a nuclear occident which could be quite a firy stir fry and I don't think they want trouble up the ying yang right now.
They're using their noodle and this is the mein point I'm trying to make. Besides, it's the wong thng to do and they know it. Why would they act like a Fu?
Soy what do you think? Yuan Tibet on it? Do you really think they would go that Lo? Especially since we can Saki to them, too.
Am I concerned? Yes, Siam, but the best advice Formosa us is this: Try to Keep your Chan held high.

My french is pretty rusty but even so I hope that's either sarcasm or she's talking about another thead.

I vote this the dumbest thread ever posted at patrick.net. Anyone bothering to think for more than .1 seconds about why or how china would invade HI would have to agree.

What if China decides to take over Hawaii?

You mean Anchorage, Alaska, right?

Don't worry, we'll just send a big ass nuke grenade tossing robot over there.

I'm glad this thread was revived, if only because it brought back some old posters I'd forgotten about.

China doesn't have to take us over. Just let the clock keep ticking. They OWN US already, and more everyday they keep making stuff and we keep watching cable tv and eating doritos.

This is more paranoid cable news head spinner horseshit. The Chinese economy is nothing but a shell.

If anyone's going to be in a position to be dangerous, it's us. Not only are the Europeans financially broke but they're likely to stay that way given the demographic mess that's coming.

In Japan, it's worse. The Japanese have money in the bank but no natural resources and that includes failure to replenish their population.

We have the brain power, will power, military might and natural resources to do damn near anything we want to do.

dont expect full scale war between nuclear countries, it takes only a few hundreds of nukes to end human beings.

There have been 750 above ground nuclear tests since the invention of nuclear weapons. (United States alone detonated over a thousand, but some of them have been under ground) It would take far more than a few hundred to result in the extinction of the human race. One estimate puts the figure at 14,000, and most of the deaths wouldn't be from the nuclear strikes or radiation, but from the resulting debris in the atmosphere blocking out the sun causing world wide temperatures to drop. (nuclear winter). It's estimated that only 6,000 nuclear weapons are functional enough to be launched at a moments notice.
