TwinIon Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 I appreciate these historical views and I think the historic perspective should force us to consider there may be a very real momentum towards war. It's important to be conscious of this and to consistently act to prevent war. That said, I also think that the rise of China and the state of modern America are not necessarily destined to the same fate as Sparta and Athens. Two world wars, the existence of nuclear weapons, and a globalized economy have changed the calculus of war. I won't dismiss the possibility of direct conflict, but I think that modern history has shown that proxy wars between great powers are far more likely. I also think there are good reasons to doubt that China's incredible growth and prosperity continue on the same trend line unimpeded. We should be prepared for a world where China is the dominant global superpower, but this talk makes it sound inevitable in the next decade or so.

SoberChef Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 This thread begs the following question from an overactive imagination: What if ALL of the Chinese takeout spots are sleeper cells for when China commits to full on war? Me: "Hi, I'd like to order some crab rangoon & a scallion pancake w/ a side of hot chili oil!" Local spot: "You're under Communist rule now, you get either noodles or chains!"

Mr.Vic20 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Never under estimate the stupidity of groups, all bad options are possible! That said, cold wars are the preferred tool of big economy countries, so probably not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farming out misery to less fortunate countries is definitely the preferred method of conflict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
