If I was the USA, I would be scared of fighting myself. We have people everywhere, if someone tries to do something to us, expect some scary shiz. (Yes, I know countries have people here as well).

Uh... not everything that's made in russia is crap. For what I can gather the RD-180 is used on the atlas rockets, will be used on the Rus-M, and will more than likely be used on the ares rockets.

But, yeh the chinese technology is basically a knock off of soviet stuff, bad knock offs at it too.

Technically, scary "shiz" won't happen. There is a huge population of chinese imigrants, one that is still growing. I mean chinatowns are all over the states like the one in nyc and the other in la. If china were to attack it would be as if they were saying f*** you to their own people.

And even if they were to attack, they would loose in a matter of a couple of months.

They'd be selling the Chinese their own stuff back to them, then...

but with the profits going out to America. It's a win-win.

Plus, not everything sold at Walmart is made in China.

Not everything, but most Soviet equipment was notorious for its poor reliability. Keep in mind, we aren't talking about the stuff from the last 5 years, a lot of it was considered new to the Chinese 15-20 years ago and their engineering and manufacturing skills were not nearly as good then as they are now (which is still somewhat limited).

Nothing will happen, this is just typical diplomatic BS flying around. China has never liked us selling arms to Taiwan and they always throw a fit every time we do. They'll get over it.

I never said I hate Chinese people. I hate China. We're socialist but like a democracy you can do and make as much money as you want just dont speak up against the government. Yah. good plan. China and Walmart have successfully screwed up the entire balance of consumerism and manufacturing in North America. But as long as theyre both ok better not badmouth them lol. God whats wrong with people. Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
