What in the world does China stand to gain from invading us and taking us over? The only way their invasion is logical is if aggression comes from us against them first. Lets be honest here, China has stand nothing to gain from a invasion on us, unless they had some power trip and sudden enlightenment on taking over the world in a fascist pattern, I don't see a Chinese invasion happening.

You, of course, forget about the very real conflict between China and Japan. As we have a treaty (written on tissue paper if anyone think B. Insane would honor it!) with Japan, and this is a very real problem. From yesterday....."Is China preparing for a ‘short, sharp war’ against Japan?"

No, I didn't forget about that, it's just that doesn't necessarily apply to my point. You see, we would declare war on China as a result of Chinese aggression against Japan. We would be involving ourselves against them, which would be coined as aggressive behavior on our part. Now, read my original post, I said that the only way China would invade us if we sparked some sort of aggression against them.

It's a quandary as to would B. Insane take on China militarily, if Japan is attacked, as stipulated in our treaty with them, or would he just throw them to the dogs? I'd say Fido would eat hamburger!

I read that we will be getting new weapon systems, hellfire and tomahawk are old school.

I bet there was outrage when the army announced it was cutting back on it's purchases of mules in the early 20th century too....this is almost the same thing.
