ttom500: We are spread.....but what the heck.....if we were not.....just means people would be telling us to go home Yankee.:-) We have some military tricks up our sleeves......I hope some we don't have to use. And we have some technologies that are force multipliers and intelligence gainers.
Agreed. I'd think there are a lot of technologies that the US has in it's arsenal that is a well kept secret from the public and the rest of the world. I think the US would draw that card if it was on the brink of something really serious, but more in terms of conventional combat but I am sure they are adapting to the new modern combative ways as far as the technology goes.
BrunoMcMahon: I'm waiting for China to get it's fill of Kim. If he starts looking like too much of a liability it seems there could be a correction made.
Maybe. My problem is. China is loaded with think tanks. And they are good and tough. They find a weak spot in a countries economy (think the CONOCO buy out), in a trade deal (think the conversion of the guidance control to their military ICBMs) and they exploit it fast and hard.
China and Russia helped NKorea get both nuclear materials program and nuc. Helped with technology transfers and with installion engineering/construction.
Now here we sit with a growing nuc crisis.....and who holds the card deck? China. At least that is what the talking heads in DC are saying. Letting China hold the deck of cards in this one is like asking the dealer of texas holdem high stakes game.....where he has his brother at the table....not to deal from the bottom.:-)
Sorry to disappoint you but I have no doubts about my manhood.
How about you peaches? Can you say the same for yourself?
Rhetorical question, no need to answer. Just stomp around your apartment punching at the air pretending you’re beating me up for not respecting your studmuffin status.
Not much to challenge when someone so old resorts to name calling to try and get his point across.

Perhaps, If little brother looks like he is getting out of hand though he might get slapped rather than having him mess up the game.

Personally, I would like little brother to have a few tells, before I dealt him that ace off the bottom of the deck. If his eye is twitching and he looks like a zombie (ala Premier Kim)..I might just toss that Ace to the sweet honey sitting next to him.

Older guy told me he does not bother to worry about world issues because in 75 years none of the things predicted happend and what did happen was often unexpected.
I've been told an insane amount of gear used by the military is coming out of China now. Not a very bright move if true.
My guess for the threat to humanity will be famine related to disease attacking our crops that have no real genetic variety or perhaps some new and exciting disease attacking the human population.
Pandemic or epidemic has been the cry of wolf several times in the last few decades so when the real deal comes along it is possible that people will not give it proper regard.
Indyfella: I would never buy a car from the government.Most likely, I'd buy a Ford...at least they don't need government handouts. I admire them for that!

Hot_Single_Dude: It is because is all houses on the whole planet would have white roofs then the amount of energy saved that way would be equal too all cars in the planet would not drive for elleven years Jasper!
It is not for showing being a supporter or any thing like that....... ____________________________________
Paint all the roofs in the world white President Obama’s energy adviser, Steven Chu suggests untraditional measures to slow global warming. Michael von Bülow 27/05/2009 15:50 Paint all the roofs in the world white and slow global warming. This unusual proposal came from the US Energy Secretary Professor Steven Chu at a three-day Nobel laureate symposium in London.
According to President Barack Obama’s “green guru”, the white roofs would save homes in hot countries energy and money on air conditioning and reduce global warming by reflecting heat into space rather than allowing it to be absorbed by dark surfaces where it would contribute to the earth’s warming.
“If you look at all the buildings and if you make the roofs white and if you make the pavement more of a concrete type of color rather than a black type of color and if you do that uniformly, that would be the equivalent of... reducing the carbon emissions due to all the cars in the world by 11 years – just taking them off the road for 11 years," the Nobel Prize-winning physicist said.
The symposium, which is hosted by the Royal Society and the Prince of Wales, has gathered some 60 scientific experts and 20 Nobel laureates to talk about climate change. The meeting will end in a memorandum that could influence an international climate pact due to be agreed in Copenhagen this December.

It is all a bout Science you see? the same kind of science which was stupiedly censures under the Bushney,s because they all just wanted to keep making money out of their private oil companies and made a huge Casio out of America just because of private benefit!
Indyfella: Ford hasn't taken any handouts as of yet. I hope they don't. I'm not wild about Ford products, but I'd buy one before I'd buy a Chevy (now).
Bruno is a Barbie girl in a non Barbie world He is a dumbo, like Bobby Stumbo You can search his mind, just for being kind You find Imagination, that life is Bushney,s creation
