I have fear for the worst in this tragic economy. Not because the economy is really hurting me, but as we have seen in the past, recessions and depressions tend to head towards war. We are at war, but is this a big fight? Are we fighting a powerful nation? The nation we are at war with is powerful in its importance to us. One, it is a very good position for a military base against the new powers of the world. Yes, we are the most powerful, but who have we fought recently to prove that we really are the most powerful. We have fought weak countries with little or no organization along with odd and weird ideologies that shouldn't be followed in any circumstances.

We have the largest and most power economy. We have the largest military. We have the most and best technology. Does that make us the best? We are tied to a nation, a single nation with numbers that surpass us in unbelievable ways. China has single handedly kept our economy afloat. Not only are they driving us to more powerful positions but if they would like, they can send us into complete choas. China was the owner of the Lehman brothers, and who had to pay for it. We did. And who is supplying us with bailout money? China.

Do we own China or do they own us? We say we do, but they are making all our toys.

Have you heard of a trade embargo? Well, if China were to do this, it would send both of us into a depression. But how long would it take either of us to get out of this depression. Well, we don't have factories anymore. Remember when we originally went to war with Japan and Germany in WWII. We were only able to become heroes because we had the cheap manpower and factories to supply us with weapons and abled bodies to fight. Right now, who wants to go to war? What does North Korea plan to do with the weapons it makes? If North Korea planned on going to war, they would have to fight either Japan or China. Who would win? It is not plausible to think that the Koreans think they can win. If they went to war, they would destroy themselves. Every nation that has initiated a full scale war like like that have destroyed themselves. Is North Korea really our concern?

America had the capacity to stop the Koreans from nuclear testing. Did we stop them? China told us to leave them alone. And how much info do are we really getting from those Koreans? China, has the power to destroy us and they don't seem to care that there closest neighbors are threatening us with serious threats. China owns us.

So, who are our allies in this mess? I would say we have an Indian ally that would help us with the man power but we're not in a good situation. Every great nation that has gone to debt has been reduced to smaller states. We are at that point in our great golden age. We have changed the world in so many ways that I wouldn't say that once the United States is gone that we have failed. We have changed the world. We have brought the world together. The only problem is that we have also caused the demise of our great nation.

How much power does our central government really have now? I see more change in individual states like California then any other state. Our central government is deteriorating but I think that is what our founding fathers would have wanted. Federal laws are not what I worry about anymore. I worry about state laws. Colorado has made weed legal. California has outlawed gays. And the federal government is sitting by watching and letting it happen.

Were is our power these days? Silicon Valley? Or Washington? Are we more worried about the east or the west? We have never gone to war on our soil. I don't think we will unless Mexican war breaks out (Mexicans are now governed by the drug cartels!). We go to India. And I'm scared that I will be going to. If not me then the kids in middle school will. You send your children to die? You send your children to defend what? What is the point of this? I'm am scared because war is not friendly.

Counties don't build armies for fun. When Hitler was building his army, who was to stop him? When China builds their army, who is to stop them? We build armies for one purpose. And I'm scared because we are the only county that feeds off of war. A war of mass suicide. I go to another country to die? What else would you call it. And who is sending me? I'm afraid that my parents will tell me to leave them and die so they can die in peace. When will the world ever find peace? In order to find peace, we go to war. A contradiction that will never be fully understood. I'm afraid.
