Lots of people said the same thing about Japan going to war with America in 1938, "Ain't gonna happen". That's why all our battleships were in Pearl Harbor like sitting ducks. No fuel for them. That's why American soldiers in the Philippines were training with sticks instead of rifles and riding on horses instead of tanks in 1940. War with Japan, "Ain't gonna happen". All of our generals at the time believed Japan did not have the military capability to wage war against America, and Japanese equipment (especially its' aircraft and navy) would soon become outdated. The Japanese were still bogged down tying up hundreds of thousands of troops trying to complete their conquest of China, making a war with America seem all the more unlikely. So don't worry, it "ain't gonna happen". Did any of that
stop Japan from attacking Pearl Harbor ?!..
"Those who do not learn from history, are doomed to repeat it". The reason that quote is called a "Truism", is because it is true. China never has renounced the communist doctrine of defeating capitalism through "war". Why not ?! Good question. Why haven't they ? Underestimating the resolve and aggression of the Chinese, is like setting down your pick nick blanket next to a red ant bed and saying, "Don't worry about the red ants, they aren't gonna bother us, It ain't gonna happen. Lol. In October 1950 that's exactly what
did happen when China entered the Korean War against the United States. What was that you said about war between the United States and China is
never gonna happen. I got news for you buddy, it already did happen.. It was called the Korean War. Which by the way, ended in a "cease fire-armistice", not a "peace agreement", so realistically speaking, North and South Korea are
still at war.
So please, before you claim that was a war between U.N. forces and China, check your facts and be aware the United States supplied 88% of the fighting forces in the Korean War, and if you claim the U.S. wasn't fighting against the Chinese in the Korean War, explain that to the almost 2 million American servicemen who fought in Korea and to the headstones in Arlington Cemetery of the 33 thousand U.S. soldiers who died there. Not to mention the hundreds of U.S. POW and MIA cases, where North Korea is known to have kept imprisoned soldiers after the 1953 armistice, (this according to a U.N. Human Rights Report).
Tens of thousands of South Korean soldiers were also captured by the North, and never accounted for. South Korea estimates 560 South Korean soldiers still live in captivity in the North. As of 2008, seventy-nine South Korean POW's have escaped from North Korea and "returned" to the South, giving these South Korean estimates a high degree of credibility.
It may not entirely be up to the Chinese whether, or not, or even when, war with the United States breaks out again. It was North Korea invading South Korea in June 1950, that drew the United States and China into a military confrontation. So the next U.S/China military confrontation could well be decided by the most unstable world leader in history, the insane and megalomaniac dictator of North Korea, Kim Jong Un. What does that do to the odds of the U.S. and China going to war ?!.. Well it ain't good. And it's probably very naïve to say, "It ain't gonna happen".
