I have nothing against China. But if the balance of power evens out through electronic warfare, then real and very deadly war might be the end result.

The US doesn't spend half of our GDP on the military for shits and giggles.

Regarding your Nazi Germany comparison, I don't know enough about the holocaust to speculate on the reasons why it happened or what could have been done to prevent it. I wouldn't kill any innocent human, no matter their religion or race. Groupthink, racism, fear, and ignorance might be partially to blame but it would be difficult to be in a position to actually make a difference during those times. Electronic warfare is not comparable to the holocaust. But the potential of power changing hands after 50+ years of control isn't something that shouldn't at least be discussed.



War is more profitable than peace. Don't believe all the propaganda that war is always necessary.

But there's always the refrain that war is a job creation machine and any attempt to dial it down is met with accusations of being unpatriotic (case in point, whoever downvoted me). Not quite that simple.
