Would you enlist in a war against China/N.Korea?


  • @wittmann:

    Holding off natives armed with slices of fruit, while I shoot back with my repeating rifle from behind an eight foot barricade is how I like to fight.

    The modern term for this is “asymmetric warfare”.


  • @wittmann:

    Certainly not.
    My idea of glorious war died with the Empire.

    I suspect we cannot get those Chinese to agree to play by my rules.

    Love your answer, I would form a group of Texans to go fight.

    I’m Texan, can I join?


  • @Gargantua:

    @empireman:

    Where I live would be the spot where the war will first start, So I would have the choices of being a slave or a part of a resistance group. I would choose to fight the evil commies.

    @variance:

    Where do I sign?

    @BJCard:

    If the future of Freedom was in jeopardy, yes I would re-join the US Navy.

    F-Yeah!

    We got this boys…

    Better dead than Red! ;)

    @wittmann:

    If you can get them to arm themselves with fruit, even sharp pieces, I will be there in the front line with you Garg.

    If you were cut down by a vicious shard of mango, I would be there to cradle you to sleep and would ensure you were buried in Swastika, Oregon.

    The Imperial American Army is currently occupying my country, the Southern States. With these Imperial Forces, it has brought Cultural Marxism, sexual immorality, godlessness, and the death-knell of negative liberties. When it leaves my own country, then I will take this question under consideration.

    Awesome!

    That was one of the funniest post I’ve seen on this site. If Wittmann enlist he must wear a Victorian Era British Uniform.  :-)


  • Can I bring my batman?
    I can’t possibly look after myself.

    Thanks Worsham, I always wanted to be  eccentric; you are making it happen twenty years earlier than planned.

    No Robin, you have to go it alone.  :evil:


  • Then I must resign my commission: no batman, no Captain Wittmann.

    I will pray for you all, but without my Sir Douglas Haig leadership from behind the lines in the  comfort of my Chateau HQ, roaring fire and brandy,  I think you are all  doomed to eat Chinese food.


  • NOBODY has to enlist!!

    Why would I want to do that Garg? I’d probably be fighting in and with Chinese made equipment. Walmart cammo made in China. An Airsoft M-4 made in China. Boots made in China. Sent over on a ship probably Chinese too. Sent home in a body bage also probably made in China.

    Seriously though if it came to that I go for the Tom Clancy theory that we would sieze China’s assets and reneg on our debts. China is no paper tiger but a war like this is unlikey methinks.

    Besides the only thing they can buy is INF and they can’t attack non-Chinese TTs. Plus America would never agree to any HRs allowing them to do so.

    It might would be tough impossible to pay your military personnel if you can’t raise money by issuing debt. Which is what would happen if suddenly voluntarily defaulted on all outstanding bonds held by China.

    Bottom line is that these are the two largest and perhaps most co-dependent economies in the world. Which is why the likelihood of a war between them is vanishingly small.

    Hooray for global capitalism and the peace it brings!

    A lot of that would fly out the window depending on the circumstances. I wish I had better details on Clancy’s theory. I agree a war with China N.Korea is unlikely. However if it did happen it would become a world conflict quickly and would bring pretty much every major country into the mix due to the fact that we all need stuff from China.

    Raw material would be a big factor too and would determine a lot in which sides joined which.

  • TripleA

    US supports China. Literally. We make it so China gets raw materials from Africa and we buy Chinese stuff left and right. When China seizes land etc from its people and keep them impoverished so off to cheap labor they go… that drives their export led economy.

    Most countries can only be an export led economy for so long until wages get too high and it moves to another country with low wages. China has stayed low for far too long.
