    I think China is more of a risk to the US than any other country today

    I have no proof since I am not up-to-date on foreign affairs but I have for the past four years felt our biggest threat to safety was from China.
    Imagine, God forbid, China and Japan join forces, unlikely but hey, and they pay Britain off or convince Britain to not help us, and they invade through Canada, what real chances would we have? I would be pressed to say we would win that one, even though I love my country it would not be strong enough, I dont think, without Gods help against this force, and you know how much our leaders are divorcing us from God being the leader or protector of this country ie removing Under God in our salute and making that unconstititional along with prayer , even silent prayer, in schools...divorcing America from God is a very big mistake.Just my thoughts.
