Topic	What do you think would happen if US & China went to war?
josifrees 07/08/20 3:54:16 PM #16:	CommonJoe posted... Thats not an accurate assessment. The US would have some lag time before becoming self sufficient again, but it wouldnt be an excessive struggle. Meanwhile any potential World War is going to either start, as said, with a nuking, or will see the Middle East proverbially paved over and pretty much all shipping lanes destroyed within hours, rendering most countries unable to keep up any long war. The US however has the internal ability to stay self sufficient for a long time, and in fact it would take considerable losses before it became necessary to engage in a total war economic structure. The US can afford to hold the world hostage if it so chose and thats without nukes. China and Russia cant. China produces 95% of the worlds rare earth metals and the US doesnt produce any. --- Quit Crying <cite>josifrees posted [p:941848661] in What do yo...
