Are We Ready?

The World, this big blue marble we live on is more dangerous as it’s ever been. The list continues to grow. North Korea, Iran, actually the entire Middle East. Argentina is ruled by that Nut job Hugo Chavez. But besides all of that, no one is talking about the real threat on the horizon.

China is becoming or has become an economic giant. The Chinese have let Hong Kong continue its Capitalist ways and our trade deficit with them is so out of balance, the money flows into China like the broken levies in New Orleans.
They are building their Military at a disturbing rate. Building new Ships, developing new ICBM’s and importing their technology to terrorist states. They refuse to reign in their client state North Korea which continues to increase their development of long range missiles to deliver the nuclear warheads they are building.
Russia, under Vladimir Putin has just introduced a new jet fighter that will be the equivalent of our F-22 . It has always been his goal to return Russia to the Superpower it once was. Russia has the funds from oil revenues to build them into a Superpower once again. Don’t forget Putin is an old KGB operative. He didn’t make himself Prime Minister for nothing.

There is a new Cold War just around the corner. In the Far East, Taiwan and South Korea even Japan come into play. In Europe, Poland, Czech Republic, every former country that broke away from the Soviet Union could be in jeopardy.

With the ongoing War on Terror, are we prepared to challenge China or Russia when they decide it’s time to right old wrongs? China wants Taiwan back. Russia wants its traditional buffer countries back to counter NATO countries on its border.
This story is neglected by the media. We have to be aware of the threat that’s coming. Is America ready to step up? Are we prepared for this? Are our leaders ready to do what’s necessary to protect the world from new threats of aggression?

Are we ready?
