War gaming

The Chinese have already figured out the next big threat. And they are quietly dealing with it inside of their borders and in Africa. So what is our problem? Too much money, too much talent equals too many possible bad choices. And we sure try to make them all.

Farms vs. Cities

Regrettably ,all indicators point to the battlefield of the future being here at home.

Venezuela then launches a cyberattack on U.S. oil distribution networks

dear sir,

these paranoids in "defence" are always planning attacks. that venezuela would launch a "cyberattack on u.s. oil distribution"! if any one of these two countries gets cyber attacked, for any reason, by the other, i would put my money on the us attacking v. after all there is already this little matter of the coup d ta against the venezuelan govt. which was certainly backed by the us.

i am so tired of this country, powerful beyond any in history, with over 300 bases world wide, telling everybody what to do and how to do it, deciding who is "evil" and who is not, ccrying about its own chances of survival!

but it is too much to expect that these big boys playing war games will wise up. they love trouble and they love causing it and they love making the mouse they are facing look like a lion. a pox upon their house!

ps

when domestic gas prices "soar" it's the oil corporations (note the profits they made) and not the "communist threat".)
