China Preparing for Role as World's Lone Economic and Military Super Power

A $14 trillion debt is going to catch up with the United States and its military power sometime in the very near future. Currently the United States spends about 50 cents for every dollar spent in the world for its military budget, but it's unreasonable to expect countries like China are going to finance our military through loans for much longer. It also appears like China has a five-year plan now that is possibly designed around the fall of America as we know it. You can't expect this country to continue spending and survive can you?

The UK Telegraph reports the Chinese have announced their plans to be the world's lone super power in five years. I believe we could be seeing a situation similar to that of when the USSR fell in the late 1980s, when the United States took on the role as the world's super power:

“In the coming five years, our military will push forward preparations for military conflict in every strategic direction,” said Liang Guanglie in an interview published by several state-backed newspapers in China. “We may be living in peaceful times, but we can never forget war, never send the horses south or put the bayonets and guns away,” Mr Liang added.

So the Chinese military, at a very interesting time, is preparing to bulk up. I hate to think about what this world is going to look like in five years. I pray our best days aren't behind us, but I fear what that debt is eventually going to do to this country. By the way, the Republicans compromised with Obama--tax cuts for more federal spending.
