We all know that the USA has an extremely over-extended military force atm.

Many know that China is paying for a large percentage of the war in Iraq, as they buy many billions upon billions of $ worth of US bonds.

What people don't realize is that China:

1) Could now bankrupt the US by calling in payment for all these bonds.

2) Has the largest military on earth.

3) Has the ability to shoot down all US satellites out of the sky, putting them on an even playing field if they went to war.

4) Has great patience - One of the oldest civilizations in the world, knowing that their time will come.

5) Is a stones throw away from the largest oil fields in the world; a much better place to be if you want to take control of this area.

6) Has an ability to produce many similar US WMD's at a fraction of the cost.

7) Possesses the ability to out-produce the US in military power if/when they decide to call in their bonds and bankrupt the US.

8) Has much closer ties to Russia and North Korea, two other countries who have not forgotten the 'grief' America has caused them in the recent past.

Why else would China be buying these s***ty bonds which barely earns what inflation takes straight back??

Umm, what?

Becuase the Chinese wanted to go with a superior Undies brand?
