#17 Poor Mr. Trusty lives in a very parochial environment. University, perhaps? His English is quit good for his type. His knowledge of the world, however...
They are particularly irked by America's arrogance and will conspire against her. World War III is coming.
Mr. trusty, they've been conspiring in corners for the better part of a century, including Russia, and thus far it's come to naught. And, since they send their best and brightest to the U.S. to study and be seduced by our freedoms and comforts, that is likely to continue. Unless, of course, they join a jihadi group, in which case they'll end up in Guantanamo Bay cages, spending the rest of their lives flying back and forth to Mainland court houses -- an thoroughly unfulfilling lifestyle, I fear.
World War III is coming.
I'm so sorry, my dear Mr. Trusty. World War III was the Cold War. You'll remember that one: America beat the Soviet Union, which subsequently ceased to exist. World War IV is the war against the jihadis. The one you're thinking about is World War V, which China plans to wage in a decade or two, before they run up against the aging of their millions of excess males caused by an ongoing rash of female infanticides.They aren't likely to do much more than destroy Taiwan and Japan, though, and get rid of their excess males -- they haven't the proper equipment for the kind of war they want. Even little suburban housewives out here in the Midwest know that. |
