China and the United States are converging toward nuclear catastrophe.

At this moment China is in the midst of preparations for a nuclear first strike against the United States. Far ahead in cyber warfare, China is capable of crippling the American military response. We are scrambling right now to patch together an adequate counter cyber force. Embedded spies make the United States totally transparent to Chinese intelligence. We have been totally penetrated. We have no secrets left to steal.

Our satellite system, which controls military communications, is in vulnerable low Earth orbit. New launch facilities are being built in China that will further enhance their ability to deliver a devastating nuclear first strike. While the United States relies on MAD - mutual assured destruction - glitches in opening the collars that hold our siloed rockets in verticle position were discovered that rendered the rockets impossible to fire. We are at a state where, given a first strike by China, we may not be able to massively destroy them in return, making an attack all the more inviting.

In the United States Barack Obama is about to ascend to the Presidency. Reports are that he has not been doing well vis-a-vis China . I think that his rapport with China will degrade further. First, Obama must focus on righting the ship of State economically. This inevitably will mean protectionist measures, which will hurt China. Second, Obama appears to be wooing Europe toward some sort of shared economy, and possibly, shared governance! The tightening of the Western Alliance will pivot around oil for the time being and necessitate a peace with the Arab world. I think Obama can manage that, with China getting squeezed out. Africa will follow Obama's lead in the United Nations and cast their hopes for development with the Western-Arab oil alliance. China's present efforts to rape African resources will be turned away. China will become isolated (along with Russia !)

Coincident with these frightening developments is a growing instability within China. Media wars and economic recession are already beginning to create social dislocation unseen in China since the days of Mao. The Chinese leadership may falter, and feel they are losing their grasp. It is then they are the most dangerous. We may being seeing a similar process in North Korea right now. Will Kim take down the nation in suicidal war as he himself goes down? Therefore, I predict that China will launch an attack that destroys all of North America, and other sections of the world as well during the term of the Obama Presidency. In turn, the United States, in a crippled response, will destroy China as a modern political entity. This scenario is realistic if military parameters continue to be the defining objectives of the policies of both China and the United States.
