(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); A Stanford University Geophysics Professor is of the opinion that there is a great likelihood of war between China and the US because of oil. Oil is key to progress, and as China is making progress on a huge scale with regard to commerce and industry, its need for oil is growing to the extent that it is currently competing for oil with the US. The US has been importing oil since 1971 and is currently importing two thirds of its oil from outside sources. Prof. Nur is of the opinion that this may be the main reason for the US involvement in Middle East wars, including lately Libya. He asks if Libya did not have any oil, would anyone have cared about Libya? And then concludes that tension in the Middle East will get worse with tension between super powers as well when they are competing for oil from this area.
If what the professor said is true, that would be an awful war

of course they could , we could do many things . But it will be a HUGE BLOW.

that was then, this is now . don't underestimate china. try reading a bit & catch up on economics and politcs. china has power

true true but OUt of topic Israel has one of the best ADS so not really unmatched and considering we both share technology (to some extent) (and by both i mean USA and Israel)

there would be no war; they both have nukes.

Considering how we're both members of the Security Council in the U.N., U.S. businesses employ about 3 million + Chinese workers and control a large percentage of China's free trade district, and it's not 1700 where countries just attack each other like a game of Risk, No. They're won't be a war.

If there ever were to be a war, we would have heard something about conflict between the U.S. and China and 2/3rd's of Congress would have to vote to declare war. We didn't even invade Cuba or the U.S.S.R. when they had missiles pointed and ready to go at us, why would we do anything now? Think for yourselves, people. Don't become a statistic in the brainwashed masses, regurgitating the first information you hear like it's fact without any research on your own.

Another useless post along with your 5000 others.

Lmfao, I have a bachelors in government. I'm in the last semester to get my JD. Don't tell me I don't know politics. :fyea:

This is probably the most pointless attempt at getting posts I've ever seen

then you should already know that china has power like i said. money, manufacturing , arms sales..ETC.. AND i never said you didn't know politcs , get ur sh!t right. &, um, what your studying and graduating in DOESN"T IMPRESS ME! that piece of paper helps, but doesn't mean you know more or make you better than anyone else.
