    Read in a news article that, China is spending almost 50 billion dollars on defense for this year which is larger than US. Not able to understand why that much...is there 3rd world war on the way...

    When they come to collect on the US debt they want to be sure they have the muscle?

      Don't worry, Mother Nature is about to exterminate the overpopulous violently self-destructive two-legged warm-blooded mammals who walk upright and pretend to communicate by making low-frequency waves in air who have been so busy destroying the Earth and all its other species while claiming they are "sentient" and somehow "divine" in a way that rocks, plants, trees, insects, etc., are not. Be assured that cockroaches, and other important species, will survive. cheers, Bill

          Interesting use of the word defense though.

                          And the US is bankrupt.... Time for Europe to join with Russia and create a new defence force.

                              They're probably like the U.S., the defense is against its citizens.

                                $50 billion?? That's NOTHING in the U.S. defense budget. That gets you a couple of toilet seats and about a months supply of toilet paper. The U.S. spends on the order of $650B plus every year on defense. Oh, and China spends more than $50 billion, so I serisously question where you're getting your numbers from.

                                  This is the easiest question to answer: YES. We don't know when neither how, but it is coming little by little... :rolleyes:

                                    If you think the US will go from close to $700B to less than $50B this year ... you have another thing coming.

                                        Some Politician Somewhere:

                                        After speaking with military advisers... we've decided to skip the third world war and go right on into the fourth. This should save the tax payers billions.

                                        :-D ;P

                                          Scissors cuts paper, paper covers rock, rock crushes lizard, lizard poisons Spock, Spock smashes scissors, scissors decapitates lizard, lizard eats paper, paper disproves Spock, Spock vaporizes rock, and as it always has, rock crushes scissors. :)
