Good excuse for more military spending and filling the pockets of the defense industry. Just scare the paranoid retards into supporting it.

Flip the coin, is China scared the US will invade them? US has a major military presence patrolling outside Chinas waters, do they run around thinking their world is going to end at the hand of 300 million round eyes? What planet are people from where they think a full out war between China and US is possible? Don't want your carriers sunk don't float them so close, wouldn't happen anyway, it's a face thing. US would be fucking pissed if China propped up Cuba and had military bases in the Carribean with full carrier groups off the gulf coast. That's what China has, China isn't worried about it because they live in reality. Their missiles are a simple counterbalance saying 'hey, we're tired of you floating so smug in our traditional sphere of influence, back off a bit.'

This world is so intermingled through our economies the only countries that are targtets of war are the havenots where there's nothing to lose in bombing the shit out of them to fill the pockets of the industrialists and keep the generals blood lust met.
