No. It will be Korea or one of the countries in the middle east.

You do realize Obama wants to do away with all of our evil nuclear weapons, right?

Just like Romney was going to do away with all those evil abortions and all that evil birth control?

Despite what Obama wants it will never happen.

I hope you're right. I am a firm believer in "If you want peace, prepare for war".

The USA can end any war or destroy any nation of its choosing with the push of a button. The only reason we haven't used all viable options in the Middle East up to this point is because of the collateral damage that we would cause to our allies and the civilian casualties involved. If al Qaeda were to set off bombs here on the home land and we could tie it back to Iran or Pakistan all bets are off and collateral damage quickly becomes an unfortunate and unavoidable reality of war that the US and its allies must accept.

China doesn't need to have boots on American soil, they already hold paper on most of it now.

Oh shit! Do we have a 3rd Token Liberal on here!?

Obama has already reduced our nuclear arsenal with the last 4 years, God only knows how much more he'll reduce our numbers over the next 4.

And what about those who don't care- like Jihadis? They don't care if they live or die, in fact, if they die fighting the "evil infidels" they'll go to paradise... Pakistan is toeing the line and could turn even more pro-jihadi than they are now, Egypt is now run by either Muslim Brotherhood or sympathizers of the MB, and Iran, well we all know about Iran. Obama wanted to reduce our nuclear arsenal, he did so successfully so far.

The notes they hold on the US aren't worth the paper they are printed on if there is no population that is willing to repay the debt.

When you owe China as much as we do China doesn't own you, you own China.

99 weeks? Izzat a fact? I just filed online a few minutes ago, hope it goes through. I needs me a big ol' Government Tit for awhile, I've sure been paying for one for a lot of years.

China holds about 8% of our debt.

Most people don't have any clue how much of our telecom network in this country is built with equipment from China, that could have some very nasty surprises hidden in it. They can cause a LOT of damage all over the world without ever leaving their keyboards. Lots of info out there if you Google around for it. http://www.itnews.com.au/News/318234...uawei-zte.aspx http://www.computerworld.com/s/artic...ternet_traffic
