Spending is a bad mesure of military might

Spending is a lousy mesure of military might nowadays. Most of that money goes to line the pockets of Halliburton, Lockeed & friends. Did you know the US army pays roughly 100$ to get a can of cock delivered to Afganisthan ?

Reality check : The US army lost in Vietnam, it is loosing in Afganisthan, after officialy "winning" the Iraq war the fighting resumed and now Iraq is poised to become the new Iran.

China has a HUGE population and can affort to loose millions of soldiers, It had technology and most importantly, it has money.

If china stopped lending to the US the US would go bankrupt in a matter of months. A war would be very one sidded indeed.
