If we do happen to find ourselves in WWIII, I predict that China and Russia will be fighting against the US. I’m willing to put money on it. I’ll remind you of these events: Painting a Web of Anti-American Alliances. I wrote that back in April and it seems even more relevant at this point in time.

In 2008, we need to put aside politics and elect a man who can lead us militarily.

Also, it would be nice to have closer ties with Brazil, which is already an ethanol-based economy. We can’t fight a war without oil. How long will that strategic reserve last? If we do have a wider war, Hugo Chavez may try to pull something down there.

Now, I’m not saying we will enter a wider war. However, we should do everything we can to prepare in case that wretched day comes — because if it does come, it will come sooner than any of us will imagine.
