Did you know China's going to invade?
I didn't either until one of my "dates" and I spent an hour discussing his pet theory. Where do these people come from? I'm going to lay out his theory because I found it vastly amusing.Apparently, the Chinese are going to secretly load hundreds of thousands of soldiers onto container ships which will then dock in west coast ports, take over the major cities and then I guess march eastward. The US military would be in chaos and apparently, the millions of Americans living in these areas would not fight back against what would be a pretty small force compared to the population of California.
After pointing out the ridiculous flaws in this master invasion plan, he continued to defend his position - at one point asking if I knew how long it took the US to mobilize in Riyadh. The hell? He honestly believes that China could somehow sneak hundreds of thousands of people plus food and supplies for them onto container ships, sail them across the ocean and then attack and no one would have any idea until after the invasion took place.
I'm still wondering about the Chinese motive for this invasion attempt.
