A few years after the Soviet Union collapsed, Edward Teller advocatd mega-budgets for war against atroids, which may hit planet earth. The rationale - need to justify continuously increasing military-industrial budgets. And a Hollywood movie to match was even produced...
There is always a need to invent new schemes for mega-budgets for the military-industrial coplex, even if the scheme is ludicrous/suicidal...
Thank god China still acts as the responsible adult on the scene, wthen the US has turned into a delinquent juvenile.

The Two Faux Democracies Threaten Life On Earth
By Paul Craig Roberts
July 26, 2013 "Information Clearing House - Amitai Etzioni has raised an important question: “Who authorized preparations for war with China?” http://yalejournal.
Etzioni is correct that this is a momentous decision made by a neoconized military. China is obviously aware that Washington is preparing for war with China. If the Yale Journal knows it, China knows it. If the Chinese government is realistic, the government is aware that Washington is planning a pre-emptive nuclear attack against China. No other kind of war makes any sense from Washington’s standpoint. The “superpower” was never able to occupy Baghdad, and after 11 years of war has been defeated in Afghanistan by a few thousand lightly armed Taliban. It would be curtains for Washington to get into a conventional war with China.
When China was a primitive third world country, it fought the US military to a stalemate in Korea. Today China has the world’s second largest economy and is rapidly overtaking the failing US economy destroyed by jobs offshoring, bankster fraud, and corporate and congressional treason.
The Pentagon’s war plan for China is called “AirSea Battle.” The plan describes itself as “interoperable air and naval forces that can execute networked, integrated attacks-in-depth to disrupt, destroy, and defeat enemy anti-access area denial capabilities.”
Yes, what does that mean? It means many billions of dollars of more profits for the military/security complex while the 99 percent are ground under the boot. It is also clear that this nonsensical jargon cannot defeat a Chinese army. But this kind of saber-rattling can lead to war, and if the Washington morons get a war going, the only way Washington can prevail is with nuclear weapons. The radiation, of course, will kill Americans as well.
