I admire your enthusiasm tatortodd, and hope that your hopes turn into reality.

My belief (based on cynicism and limited information) is that the ChiComs' lack of value for human life will make their mission there easier than the U.S. policy on sparing civilian casualties where able, etc. Basically I think that if you don't really care who dies to get what you want, you're already in the cat bird seat. I hope I'm terribly wrong.

Compared to the:
  • USA. Yes, the Chinese will be exponentially harsher.
  • Soviets. The Chinese will have to work at it to be harsher, but they're capable of it. However, being harsh didn't work out very well for the Soviets.



  • Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity

    Trashcanistan isn't called "The Graveyard of Empires" because it sounds cool.

    Glad we're gone.

    I'm fine with it being China's turn in the pickle barrel.
