    Prompt Global Strike is really big news. It means that America can reach out and touch any one on earth in sixty minutes. They won't know what hit them until it is too late. In other words the Standing Committee of the Politburo of the Chinese Communist Party is going to have to learn to live underground.

    Quite true. The same goes for our friends in Russia, Iran and N. Korea.

    Hell yeah, with stealth materials, a cloud of these babies could knock out an entire nation's command and control infrastructure in one fell swoop, who needs nukes?

    Of course like the missile defense shield, Obama will probably cave to international pressure not to develop it. After all, can't have America having a tactical or strategic advantage over the the sticks and rocks of the rest of the planet.

    Grandpa says, "Well said...

    ... now stick one o' dem things...

    ... up Ammerjabberjob's poop-shoot.

    ... the world is waiting in great anticipation.

    ... however, as the Chinese saying goes,

    ... there's plenty of noise upstair

    ... but nobody is seen coming downstair.

    ... when the bang ends in a whimper,

    ... my dear obedient nephew and our great magician

    ... will be sorely disappointed.

    ... our great magician, in particular

    ... will lose his magic touch

    ... and fail to reach anyone

    ... but will end with his day dream and high hope

    ... falling flat to the ground." :)

    Are you talking about Chinese-American engineers and scientists who work in the US defense industry and commit espionage for the Chinese Communist Party? If so, things will become very, very difficult for all Chinese-Americans present in the United States. Consider their fate.

    Just pity you for having nightmares of finding a bogeyman or a bogeywoman under your bed. Hope you won't find one lying beside you when you wake up from your nightmare in the middle of the night.

    Do you have any idea how easy it would be to whip up virulent anti-Chinese sentiment among the American people? Do you remember Vincent Chin and Wen Ho Lee?

    PS: Don't worry about me. Han women marry into the Husband's family and are lost to the natal family. This is especially true after they give birth and raise two little Americans.

    Easy of course, just like when you approach a bull with a red flag instead of a white flag.

    Predator drones have a very limited range and require the USA having bases throughout the world to enforce cooperation. This is the first stage of an ICBM predator drone so that military bases are not required to obliterate random targets. Should I say hooray or Oh crap?

    If you don't watch Alex Jones constantly and get yourself paranoid off the :weed: say Hooray. If you're a bleeding heart pacifist then you could probably apologize to a few regimes in advance, they're going to need all the love they can muster up.

    Without taxpayer cooperation, nothing really happens but chaos in the USA.

    I hear the IRS is good about that... But yeah that's probably why everyone is talking about changing the tax code.

    The IRS can only enforce payments from people that WORK for a living. No work = no tax. Bring on the revolution in the USA. I was a working stiff sucker for way too long. I retired at the age of 42 to prepare for Armageddon in the USA. Not here yet. I suppose others have a higher tolerance than I.
