Nah hell, we'd just bitch and argue about what was tougher, the moose or the kangaroo, we'd knock out a few of each others teeth, then we'd all get pissed on shitty beer and pass out to the off-key bellowing of Waltzing Matilda and the Hockey Song.
That'd be the way to fight a war!

Nonskimmer said:Mmmmm...beaver...
We're not talking about the rodent with the big teeth and the flat tail I hope, I don't know if I could eat something that gamy.
Nonskimmer said:Yes, I too think a war between the US and China would be bad. Yes...very bad indeed.
(Smooth, eh?)
Nonskimmer said:Perhaps as stated before, the ever present issue of Taiwan would spark the war. China still considers it little more than a rogue province, and has never given up on their claim to it.
Nonskimmer said:Well, I don't think it would be about resources at all, but just about backing the little guy so to speak. China has tried to bully Taiwan back into the fold for years, and the US has openly supported Taiwanese independence. Would the US be willing to actually go to war with China nowadays, if push came to shove? Beats me. My instincts tell me yes, but who the hell knows?
Delusional said:Well, with so many wars already...
It's hard to tell. As long as the president and Congress was willing to go against popular opinion, it would happen. The American public may be quick to break promises, but the government is a bit more careful about that, although it's obviously happened numerous times before.
