No, I don't think they would be so stupid. But it should open some eyes that China is refining a plan to hit the US...like a Pearl Harbor sneak attack. Why? Sure, all nations draw up plans of defense, and how to respond to an attack, with a counter-attack. But what would compel a nation to plan an unprovoked military attack?

In years past Chinese leaders have commented they could suffer hundreds of millions of casualties and still have more people than any other country, including the US. If China lost 350 million people they would still have 700 million in population. If we lost that number, we would cease to exist.

I think this is all just bluster by the Chicoms because Trump is kicking their ass. They think if they allow the "news" of their planning an offensive military strike to "slip out" it will scare us into backing off our economic policies which have hit the Chicoms hard. A lot harder than they will admit. But the economic news is clear, and China has slipped out of the Top 5 in world economies and are falling fast.

Still….lest we forget our history....it was economics that motivated Japan to attack us in 1941. We had virtually cut off Japan's access to the oil resources in Indonesia and a few other places, and we had cracked down on Japan's illegal trade practices. None of that would have harmed Japan's economy in any way, if they simply behaved as a world citizen. But it did hamper their military buildup and threatened their ability to carry out offensive military operations in China and elsewhere. In other words, Japan did not need so much oil for their civilian economy to function. They needed it because they planned to put a huge naval fleet at sea and carry out imperialistic military operations.

Well....hello China 2018. Trump's tough trade policies do nothing to hamper normal, peaceful economic activity in China. If anything, they would improve China's economy by "forcing" them to adopt more efficient non-commie policies. But, the Chicoms are not interested in being a peaceful citizen of Earth, and get along. Nope. They have expansion plans. The Chicoms, by their own admission, are in their 30th year of a 100-year plan to dominate the world. To accomplish that they know they will have defeat the US, and our closest allies, militarily.

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.
