The Comprehensive Plan

I've been stewing over this for some time now. As mentioned in previous posts, China is the emerging superpower and is the real threat to our nation's security. At least the potential is there, as This report from the NY Times only seems to confirm. My solution is simple:

Develope nuclear power in the U.S. like crazy. (Like we should have been doing for the last decade, but Billary shut down federal authorization. The chump. Now we're as dependent on foreign oil as we've ever been. Yet, the trend can be reversed.) The cheap nuclear energy from the power plants can also produce clean hydrogen fuel for our cars. We will have cheap, clean, effective power, and, we won't have to compete with China for mid-eastern oil. More importantly, Jihadistan will no longer have any leverage over us. Even the Enviro-hippies should love this part of the plan; if they have lingering doubts about our ability to prevent nuclear contamination of the environment, I invite them to do their research. Suffice it to say we've come a long ways since the 60's, baby.

Place troops in friendly Kurdistan, Saudi, and Jordan. Use some of our soldiers in Iraq proper for this, and let the rest go home to their families. We've wasted enough time and money on that fallen civilization. Democracy is a noble ideal, and an acheivable one, if and only if the majority of people are ready, willing, worthy and capable of self government. Having been there, I offer as my humble opinion, with all due respect to the few Iraqi's who might be ready for self-government as well as those in the rest of the world who have faith in them, that while most Iraqis are glad we got rid of Saddam, most of them are not and probably never will be ready for democracy. They are too interested in what the mullahs say about advancing the cause of their individual factions, and will simply have to fight it out just as they have for centuries. When we withdraw, make sure as many households as possible are armed with an AK-47 and one magazine of ammo, to keep the death squads from having their way with innocent families.

Placing our troops in Kurdistan will at least fill the power vacum in that particular area. We could even help it become a country of its own, a non-jihadist ally with oil. That would piss off our NATO ally Turkey, but who cares they really don't do much for us anyhow. Our troops there and in other parts of the region will round out the balance of power and enable us to defend Israel and friendly Sunni Arab nations from Iranian-backed jihadist aggression. Iran will most likely seek to dominate what's left of Iraq, they will most likely be backed by China, who wants access to oil markets in both those countries. So be it, let them spend their resources and manpower dealing with Iraq's insurgency. See how they like it.

Be ready to invade and/or destroy Iran's military. And for that matter, ready to nuke Beijing should the need arise.

Good grief, if Amnesty International thinks the U.S. is hard on terrorists in detention camps . . . just wait until Iran and China start dealing with the feces flinging monkeys. Come to think of it, if anyone besides the U.S. commits abuse, it probably won't even get reported.

There you have it, from someone who's won a few games of RisK.
