The Chinese could obliverate us in a day if they really, really wanted to.
But they don't. That's the whole point of 'peace' today.
Hehe. I like how you quote peace. And you're right... But the Chinese have ten people to our one, so yeah. I consider them a threat
But you must understand that 1 chinese soldier is equivalent (when fighting in formation) to 1 NATO soldier. (lets try North American Though)
Comparing weaponry:
CHINESE: Slightly Modified Russian AK-47 with bayonette
NATO: Standard Colt.45 w/ Battle Riffle (say an M4A1)
Comparing Training:
Most chinese soldiers are (or were) conscripts either from the Viet war or newly trained, badly motivated people.
A NATO soldier is not forced into combat, but if he/she so happens to want to join the millitary, they go through months of training just to become privates. It takes much more time and effort to be promoted.
Comparing Economical Growth:
Being in Canada, I can effectively say that the US economy is dying reall fast. I mean, with our dollar soaring to just under 1.03 of your dollar, and seeing as how almost everybody is shiping business over to china, the US will lose growth, and will not develop as fast as they did.
Chinese war machines are modified versions of standard or old Russian weaponry equipment. Also, if China declares war on the US, Canada will intercept, along with many NATO countries. So basically it would look like this:
China+Russia+Communist Crap
VS
US+NATO Allies and some democratic states (states being countries)
BUt if you think about it, wars are bennifical! WW2 lead to the development of rockets, WW1, the begining of advanced aviation, Vietnam and Korea, nuclear weaponry, Hiroshima... OMG... then came the helium bomb... wow...
Now back on topic, GOVERNMENT
Anarchy: BAD, no leadership (think of this as hippy land)
Communism: BAD, I KILL COMMUNISTS, Im pro-capital (in some sense)
Democracy: -(meh)- Democracy has its weaknesses, like minority governments and Stephen Harper
Republic: -eh...- Ruling through a senate sounds nice, but corruption... eww
Monarchy: BADABAD, do you want some jackass ruling your ass and getting shot for disobeying a rule like "No Farting"
Mixture Governments: THERE WE GO!!!
Now, in theory, communism works, however in logistal data presented to us, and the people of communist states, it does not work.
Capitalism (Democracy) works very well, but there is a sign of weakness. Minority governments consistantly occure, and nothing can be done just because one party leader says to his members "DONT VOTE FOR THAT OTHER GUY'S PLAN!!! WE WANT OUT!!!" and they listen.
Fusing the straight forwardness of communism with the laws and mutal respects of capitalism is a start to a successful form of government. However, there is still a problem to be adressed: Corruption. In both forms of government there is corruption. So how do we stop this without violating the "NEW LAWS"? In theory we cant, in life we can
My theoritcal government -by an 11 year old... LOLVi3t-XWUT (lolz)
-> means elect
People -> Party Members
People -> President (SEPARTE VOTE)
President selects a group of elected members to represent as ministers and "secondary push leaders"
People -> Lead Minister which will not be on any party, but a neutral selection.
The president will select a group of highly quallified and experienced judges to serve in the "Supreme Court" Those judges will select another, much larger group of judges to serve in the "High Court" Those, in turn will elect more judges for the "National Court of Law" and again into the Provincal/State/County Court and again into a residential or municipal court
The president will also have "observational" powers over every ministry compared to the "I act, you follow law"
Members of government found unsuiteable to the people can be over-ruled by people if at least 70% of the population beleives there is a problem. From there, the president must act, and question that member of government as to why he/she should retain their position. If the president wishes to eject the member, the descision is final. If the president does not eject the member, a vote will be taken from within the government building. If enough "national members" (say another 70%) wish to eject that member, then the member will be ejected.
As for military, it will be ruled by 5 top people:
The High General (4 Star) of the Main Army
The Fleet Admiral of the Navy
The Airborne Partol General of the Airforce
The Commander of the Civil Militia
The Leader of the Weaponry Development and Storage Arsenal
From there on, they will elect other branches of leaders and soldiers from Colonels to Recruits
The government will also have obeservational power over the military of that country, no direct action can be made without concensus from the top 5. From there on in, once a war is declared, the civil populace will have no action against the decision. Soldiers refusing to fight for whatever reason will be sent to the High Court for further dispatches. (this is protect the plans from hippies) To further this, every member from a party begining from the provincial level will vote to decide if a war should be made. If a minimum of 80% of the votes agree with the war pact, it is ON!!! Anything less will be dismissed, but locked into a permanent file folder enstating the plans.
TO PREVENT CORRUPTION AND RETARDS: well, you voted for them so you da weetad!
Now, to prevent unfair elections, each person will get a ticketed ballot which is read under a ballot scanner (sorta like how your library card is checked) Once the ticket is scanner, the ticket holder will be checked off in the country's "Electoral Database" as an incentive to vote, those who dont vote are punished with a 10% "Non-Voters Charge" off their total income in 1 year.
To prevent the use of "unfair checking", the polling station will keep a record of the voters as well.
Thats it for now... Ill edit constantly
None.
