The military-industrial complex needs for the United States to have military enemies. Beginning and end of story. China isn't interested in being a military threat, they are already winning the economic war, in spite of News spin to the contrary. But the really creative (not!) strategic U.S. thinkers (the behind the scenes guys you never know about, who actually believe they are in control of things) have decided to run out the old tried and true worry/story about the bad guys dropping bombs on us line of bullshit. Oh well. Nothing new there. Yawn.
