Operation Subjugation of Nations: The United States of Earth
Looking at the CIA gov website on world economies for 2004 China is now at 7.2 trillion GDP. With the US GDP at 11.7 trillion they now have the second largest GDP of any nation on earth. Normally this would not alarm me and for years have chuckled when someone brings up the burgeoning strength of China and the danger they pose, but the new GDP data does cause alarm. Seems it was just a few years ago the CIA had the Chinese GDP at 400 billion so some new arithmetic has been applied and the dynamic changed much faster then the 10 percent projected annual growth would of allowed on its own. With this new wealth China will become hungry for resources as it builds a new infrastructure and its military machine. Among the most highly sought resources will be steel, oil, and food. America has the monopoly on food, but steel and oil will place both countries in a problematic competition for these resources. Lately Chinese generals have been making threats to use nuclear weapons against the US if we intervene on Tawains behalf and Chinas intent to eclipse the US as the world’s pre-imminent superpower. Never think for a moment these comments do not reflect senior Chinese leadership. While China now constitutes great wealth and an enormous appetite for resources the threat comes from a lack of moral foundation. China could generously be described as an immoral Nation. They imprison the political opposition, starve the inconvenient, abort the unborn as national policy and kill anyone seen as a threat to the ideological center of power. This is a wicked nation to say the least, but here-in also lay its weakness. While they seek to form alliances with other nations of similar morally bankrupt ideological fabric such as the French and Russians, the US will keep her moral compass held steady. While the French are looking for another Hutu tribe to supply weapons to and turn a blind eye when they are used to slaughter the innocent and Russia is looking for its next tyrant leader to call daddy, the US will be holding steady. The Chinese will never hold steady though, for they lack our countries moral integrity. Although the US is called by our enemies imperialistic, we are the exact opposite. We are the only Nation in the history of the world to hold near absolute power over our neighbors yet exercise that power with benevolence. We have been witness to great evils throughout the world over the last 100 years and Americas strength in defeating them where they form. America has asked for no land or money in return, only the desire to be at peace in the world and to ask the same of our neighbors. For this reason the world views the dollar as strong as gold, desires to come to our shores and envies our every success, but often without noticing our moral compass. This lack of moral compass is Chinas Achilles heel.
The most probable scenario for world war III would be China invading Taiwan. With America at war in Iraq and Afghanistan we are spread thin, yet it would be a monumental mistake for China to draw the conclusion we are weak. China could gain assurance of support from the French and Russians prior to an invasion. In this scenario the US would be forced to play a very heavy hand. In Operation Subjugation of Nations: the United States of Earth, the US would make the decision to sacrifice our western seaboard. Washington, Oregon and California would be acceptable losses in a nuclear retaliatory strike against America by the Chinese, although this strike would most likely never happen. This operation would involve the US using our twelve carrier battle groups to wipe out the sea lanes of all incoming and going traffic to China, France, and Russia. We would effectively be laying siege to these countries and cutting their supply arteries. The US would also take the Middle Eastern supply lanes and control where the oil is delivered to. The US has no need to invade lands when it controls the shipping lanes. The country in control of water rules the earth. Russia would not light a candle knowing their capabilities of launch are now near zero.
As we lay siege to these nations, their only hope will be to attack our allies. At this point we will incorporate them into the US by adding additional states and take over all facets of their governance. The US will now be comprised of 100 plus states. The defeat of China, France, Russia and additional ankle biters will be very swift and of minimal loss of American lives. The countries who opposed us will suffer severe losses and with the new US comprising more then 50 percent of the world’s population, future threats will be minimized.
For those who want a functional world governing body, now you have it.

I agree that China is an EVIL immoral country. And that WWIII would be U.S. vs China.
The country that controls the sea rules the earth.
That is why I found this NYT article a few months ago VERY ALARMING!!
China's booming economy leads to an amazingly rapid build up of their Naval Power in just TWO YEARS. And they continue to build their military and naval capability to control the sea lanes.

Chinese Navy Buildup Gives Pentagon New Worries
April 8, 2005
by Jim Yardley and Thom Shanker
New York Times
HANJIANG, China - At a time when the American military is consumed with operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, global terrorism and the threat of nuclear proliferation in North Korea and Iran, China is presenting a new and strategically different security concern to America, as well as to Japan and Taiwan, in the western Pacific, Pentagon and military officials say.
China, these officials say, has smartly analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the American military and has focused its growing defense spending on weapons systems that could exploit the perceived American weaknesses in case the United States ever needs to respond to fighting in Taiwan.
A decade ago, American military planners dismissed the threat of a Chinese attack against Taiwan as a 100-mile infantry swim. The Pentagon now believes that China has purchased or built enough amphibious assault ships, submarines, fighter jets and short-range missiles to pose an immediate threat to Taiwan and to any American force that might come to Taiwan's aid.
In the worst case in a Taiwan crisis, Pentagon officials say that any delay in American aircraft carriers reaching the island would mean that the United States would initially depend on fighter jets and bombers based on Guam and Okinawa, while Chinese forces could use their amphibious ships to go back and forth across the narrow Taiwan Strait.
Some American military analysts believe China could now defeat Taiwan before American forces could arrive at the scene, leaving a political decision about whether to attack, even though Taiwan would already be lost.
Even the most hawkish officials at the Pentagon do not believe China is preparing for an imminent invasion of Taiwan. Nor do analysts believe China is any match for the United States military. But as neighboring North Korea is erratically trying to play the nuclear card, China is quietly challenging America's reach in the western Pacific by concentrating strategically on conventional forces.
"They are building their force to deter and delay our ability to intervene in a Taiwan crisis," said Eric McVadon, a former military attaché at the United States Embassy in Beijing. "What they have done is cleverly develop some capabilities that have the prospect of attacking our niche vulnerabilities."
China's rapid military modernization is the major reason President Bush has warned the European Union not to lift its arms embargo against Beijing. At the same time, some officials in Washington, particularly on Capitol Hill, would like Taiwan to buy more American arms to beef up its own defenses.
Japan, America's closest ally in East Asia and China's rival for regional dominance, is also watching China's buildup and reorganizing its own military. The Japanese prime minister, Junichiro Koizumi, has echoed President Bush by calling on Europe to leave the arms embargo against China in place. A research center affiliated with Japan's Defense Ministry has also criticized China's increased military spending and cautioned that Beijing was rushing to prepare for possible conflict with Taiwan, an assertion China sharply denied.
The growing friction between Japan and China, fueled by rising nationalism in both countries, is just one of the political developments adding to tensions in East Asia. In March, China passed a controversial new "antisecession" law authorizing a military attack if top leaders in Beijing believe Taiwan moves too far toward independence - a move that brought hundreds of thousands of people in Taiwan out to protest China's most recent military white paper also alarmed American policy makers because it mentioned the United States by name for the first time since 1998. It stated that the American presence in the region "complicated security factors." China, meanwhile, accused the United States and Japan of meddling in a domestic Chinese matter when Washington and Tokyo recently issued a joint security statement that listed peace in Taiwan as a "common strategic objective."
"The potential for a miscalculation or an incident here has actually increased, just based on the rhetoric over the past six months to a year," one American intelligence analyst in Washington said.
At a welcoming ceremony on March 28 for the command ship Blue Ridge, of the American Seventh Fleet, here at the home base of China's South Sea Fleet, the American commanding officer, Capt. J. Stephen Maynard, and his Chinese counterpart, Senior Capt. Wen Rulang, sidestepped questions about the antisecession law and military tensions. Asked about China's military buildup and how America should view it, Captain Wen praised the United States Navy as the most modern in the world.
"As for China," Captain Wen said, "our desire is to upgrade China's self-defense capabilities."
In China's view, however, self-defense involves Taiwan, which it regards as a breakaway province and which the United States, by treaty, has suggested it would help defend. In 1996, when China fired warning-shot missiles across the Taiwan Strait before the Taiwanese elections, President Clinton responded by sending a carrier battle group to a position near Taiwan. Then, China could do nothing about it, Now, analysts say, it can.
In fact, American carriers responding to a crisis would now initially have to operate at least 500 miles from Taiwan, which would reduce the number of fighter sorties they could launch. This is because China now has a modern fleet of submarines, including new Russian-made nuclear subs that can fire missiles from a submerged position. America would first need to subdue these submarines.
China launched 13 attack submarines between 2002 and 2004, a period when it also built 23 ships that can ferry tanks, armored vehicles and troops across the 100-mile strait. Tomohide Murai, an expert on the Chinese military at the National Defense Academy in Tokyo, said that China's buildup is intended to focus on an American response, but he is skeptical that China already has the naval and air superiority over Taiwan to dominate the strait.
But Mr. Murai said China's military would continue to expand and modernize for years to come because of the country's booming economy, while Japan is restricted by budget constraints and its World War II era Constitution. Chinese subs and Japanese vessels already have played politically explosive cat-and-mouse games around a string of islands claimed by both countries.
"The speed of our modernization is not so rapid as in China," Mr. Murai said. "Many people in Japan worry that the balance eventually will be less favorable."
China, meanwhile, often expresses concern about rising militarism in Japan and notes that Japan spends more on its military budget - a debatable point since Western experts say China vastly understates its own military spending. China also worries that the United States Navy could be used to try to cut off oil supplies if a conflict ever arises over Taiwan.
Asked about growing concerns in Washington over China's military buildup, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, Liu Jianchao, said: "American worries are unnecessary. We stick to the path of peaceful development, and we do not pose threats to American influence."
Robert Karniol, an Asia specialist at Jane's Defense Weekly, noted that Japan is also modernizing its military in a significant way, largely as its competes with China for regional dominance in Asia. He said Japan is restructuring the independent branches of its military under a unified command modeled after the American Joint Chiefs of Staff.
And just as Japan is looking at China, he said, so is China looking past Taiwan at Japan. China's naval upgrades will not only strengthen its hand against Taiwan but also expand its influence around Asia.
"If the Taiwan issue was resolved next month, China's military modernization would not end," Mr. Karniol said. "The Chinese understand that if their ambition is to become the dominant power in Asia - well, who can disrupt that? The United States and Japan."
