Dont be moronic

  The reason the Soviets never pulled the trigger was because the Soviets were never attacked. They were never attacked because they could pull the trigger. Its such simple logic, I dont understand why it needs to be explained.

No, Chinese universities outscore their american counterparts

The highest ranking american school in the competition was Stanford University. That Ivy league depended on mostly an Asian team and one European.

Pssh. Of course the numbers of nukes have changed

  They are more important than conventional forces.

obama is a trash president

  Man talks about peace and then goes out and bombs Libya. I cant believe the piece of garbage got a nobel peace prize.

Military spending boosts the GDP

Military spending boosts the GDP. GDP is Government spending + Private Consumption + Gross Investment + Exports - Imports.

 By increasing military spending, you are increasing government spending, and thus increasing the GDP. If Military spending was cut, the GDP fall. The reason people want to see a reduction in military spending has nothing to do with GDP. It has to do with debt. Because all spending to boost the GDP leads to debt. The government doesnt have the money to increase military spending. Thus it must borrow money in order to increase military spending. The private sector doesnt have the money to boost the private spending, thus it needs to borrow money to boost the private spending.

 So if the economy is at 10 dollars. And the goal is to increase the economy by 10 percent. Then an additional 1 dollar needs to be borrowed to bring the GDP to 11 dollars thus leading to a ten percent increase in GDP. And at the same time adding an additional dollar to the nation's debt. In short, liquidating the military would not help improve the national economy, but it would alleviate the national debt. This is because the country doesnt have the money pay for the military. It doesnt even have the money to pay for civilian goods and services. This deficit must be paid for by borrowing.

Unlike Libyan rebels, these guys never killed government officers

China should support Libya just to be difficult

We dont share any common interests, philosophies, or religion. We do it because that is how the game is played.
Better it be Qadaffi than a western puppet.
