| Description | JUDY WOODRUFF: Do you view China as a potential military threat to the United States?
HERMAN CAIN: I do view China as a potential military threat to the United States.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And what could you do as president to head that off?
HERMAN CAIN: ...They’ve indicated that they’re trying to develop nuclear capability and they want to develop more aircraft carriers like we have. So yes, we have to consider them a military threat.
Yes, they have indicated they are trying to develop a nuclear capability. They did so rather convincingly in 1964.
One has to believe that Cain knows China joined the ranks of nuclear powers in 1964. Or one hopes so anyway. But when that comment is sandwiched with “they want to develop more aircraft carriers like we have” it gives one pause as they have no carriers in commission at all the only options one is left with are that either 1) Cain is woefully uninformed about China or 2) he has a studied disregard for the English language when opining on which nations are threats to the United States. |
