Nah... Germans will just have to work hard and pay lot of money into big new oWar.Projects which will be aimed at improving
Democracy/Human/Animal/Gay/Minority/whatever rights in perhaps... China ?? Although... with all the debts&crises I wander if (only) China War will be sufficient. Perhaps Pakistan and India will have to get involved as well ? Quiet a challenge for western intelligence/military brainiacs huh ?
While It would be fairly easy to get India and Pakistan into a conflict over Cashmir, but how the heck you get China to attack West unprovoked (out of pure evil/hatred for our values) ?? New breed of radical Buddhism ?? {g}
