Description
In the original concept story, China was suppose to be the occupying forces for 'Homefront', but due to the Political Correct system and to appease the Chinese Market, as well as keep Chinese-made products flowing to America corporates, the enemy was changed to North Korea.
This is the map of how it would look like if they decided not to give into the PC demands. Even with the Islamic superpower in the rising. Enjoy.
July 6th, 2006: Despite ongoing talks to convince North Korea to give up its nuclear program, North Korea stages a series of missile tests that began at 3:30 am local time (2:30 pm ET) and lasted for five hours. According to Pentagon officials, Taepodong 2 missile (a variant of the Soviet-era Scud) failed 40 seconds into its launch. The U.S., Japan and the U.N. strongly condemned the tests, which they say violated a commitment on the part of Pyongyang to a long-standing moratorium on missile tests. The moratorium went into effect after the failed launch of Taepodong 1 missile over Japan in 1998.
June 29th, 2009: Kim Jong-il, the eccentric and brutal leader of North Korea, officially appoints his son, Kim Jong-un, as his intended successor.
2010: A North Korean submarine sank the South Korean naval ship Cheonan, killing 46 South Korean sailors as a result.
2011: North Korea conducts a nuclear missile test as a "rightful" response to "Western aggression", resulting in another round of U.N. sanctions. Kim Jong-il dies in December and is succeeded by his son, Kim Jong-un, who declares his intention to reunite the two Koreas.
March 18th, 2012: Appointed by the United Nations and resulting of intense suspicion on the part of the U.S. State Department, Hans Blix and his investigation team are unable to locate weapons of mass destruction anywhere in the country of North Korea. Kim Jong-un has publicly stated on numerous occasions his intent to re-engage with the rest of the world through openness and transparency, surprising the international community.
May 18th: In the wake of falling demand for Chinese-made goods, workers at a Taiwanese facility near Beijing clashed with authorities after a wave of firings. The year has seen a loss of 15% of jobs in the manufacturing sector in China but China managed to stiffen the economy and maintaining American corporates to keep Chinese-made products flowing. But this causes tensions between China and North Korea as relations between the two nations begin to thin out.
October 5th: In a joint press conference with his British counterpart, the President of the United States announced that both governments will begin withdrawing troops from Iraq and transitioning military control to the U.S.-trained Iraqi military.
February 19th, 2013: The Second-Korean war sparks out after negotiations of reunifying the two Koreas failed.
April 24th: Saudi Arabia and Iran have since filled the void of the United States' former presence in the Middle East, and emerging as superpowers as they begin in expanding their respective militaries. The Iraqi government is left on shaky ground as the Middle Eastern superpowers are scrambling for control in Iraq.
May 3rd: The Second-Korean war ends and North Korea is annexed into China.
June 15th: South Korea collapses into anarchy and China sends peacekeepers into the region.
July 13th: South Korea is annexed into China.
August 27th: The U.S. military begins withdrawal from South Korea, planning to be completely out in five years.
November 17th: South Korea sweeps in a new wave of nationalism resulting from the global economic downturn in which the newly elected South Korean government blames the U.S. for the financial crisis. Critics in the U.S. rebutted on South Korea's claims and clarifying the Korean economic problems stemming from re-integrating millions of poor, unskilled Chinese into the regional economy. Many South Koreans believes the U.S./South Korea military alliance has lost its value, and that the U.S. military presence in the country is no longer needed.
December 3rd: A series of reforms aimed at stomping speculation in the sector, enacted after the wild price spikes in 2008, temporarily appeared to smooth out fluctuations in the market. However, a cascade of unforeseen events (including a strike in Venezuela and ongoing political instability in Nigeria) cause analysts to question the global market's ability to keep pace with demand, and result in oil prices as low as $70 a barrel and as high as $200, making it difficult to say how a market as essential to global economic health will weather any additional instability. Analysts also fear that as demand returns and supply cannot be met, prices will skyrocket out of control, further depressing the global economy, and major American automobile manufacturers are feeling the crunch as demand for personal vehicles has bottomed out, possibly affecting other petroleum dependent sectors.
March 16th: U.S. Military forces finish their withdrawal from South Korea in a short but moving flag-lowering ceremony at the Yongsan Garrison.
April 3rd: The Chinese government plan on including the large majority of 8 million strong Korean soldiers into existing Korean military structures.

November 14th: Due to the arms race between Iran and Saudi Arabia, both Middle Eastern nations have successfully achieved in testing and gaining nuclear weapons.
December 21st: Facing increased pressure from policy makers, the Pentagon has announced its plan to re-scope the U.S. military's procurement priorities and focusing more on Special Operations teams and the use of unmanned vehicles.
February 28th, 2015: Gas prices rise up to $20 a gallon, partly due to increasing instability in the Middle East. Survivalist books like Jon Irving's "The American Survivalist" become bestsellers in the United States. United States unemployment rate is at 30%.
July: The Iraqi government collapses after 3 years of ethnic unrest.
August 5th: As the economies of China and the United States continue to simultaneously collapse, Russia signs a "mutual interest" pact with Ukraine, keeping their oil between the two countries, and cutting off all oil and natural gas trade with the rest of Europe. American commentaries note that this action will inevitably have brutal consequences for Western Europe, but Russia and Ukraine continue to have great relations with the United States and the European Union, as well as Canada.
August 17th: The People’s Liberation Army has been the backbone of the Chinese Military and the military’s modernization continues to increase.

To combat this the Government sets up "national heating centers", large facilities to heat over 20,000 high-risk individuals across the northern states.
February 13th: American professors and students in the reunited Korea are critical of the new regime, indicating that China is far from a democracy and made measures to quash all opposition to his "Communist Party", the dominating political party of the Chinese government.
May 21st: The U.S. pacific fleet is consolidated to Pearl Harbor for the first time since World War II, as a result of funding reductions. The Navy refocuses its mission on the rampant piracy and drug smuggling that plagues the west coast of North America.
June 8th: Saudi Arabia, along with Syria, Jordan, Egypt and Turkey, declared a coalition to stabilize and guide the shaky nation of Iraq with support from the United States. Iran belligerently called the coalition an "unacceptable Saudi intervention," and declared its intent to defend Iraq from Saudi Arabia turning the country into a "client state." With support from the Kurds and the resurgent Afghani Taliban, Iran launched its first incursions into Iraq.
August 14th: Iran rises as the victor and annexes, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia and created the United Islam Federation. Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Oman and Yemen entered as members later on in the year.

November 26th: California joined Texas and Florida in enacting strict border control policies with the states along their northern borders. Meant to curb the influx of starving, freezing Americans from the north, the policies have been met with controversy and outrage.
December 8th: In a joint statement issued in Niagara Falls, representatives from the US Immigration and Naturalization Service, standing alongside their counterparts from Citizenship and Immigration Canada, announce an end to the longstanding "Open Borders" policy that has defined the relationship between the United States and its sister nation to the north.

Considering that I study economics, history, and politics as a past time? I'd say I'm far more knowledgeable than you are. As to the comparison? Well let's see... when I criticize a Tumblr Feminist and use well cited facts, they call me a misogynist and shut down the argument usually by blocking the offending person. I criticize your assertions or call you out on dodging a question, you resort to petty ad hominem or call me "Far-Left" and shut down the argument either by ignoring the question, or you block the person who DARES to criticize America. And like the Far-Left, you cry foul when someone criticizes your views. You call them "bullies" and cry about "oppression" and "nastiness" which is conveniently something that the Far-Left does. You'll criticize people for doing the exact same things that YOU do which is quite frankly hypocritical.
I find that the American spirit is defined by competition above all else. Coming from a military family, my grandfather used to lament the collapse of the Soviet Union because when the Cold War was going, it put pressure on the United States to live up to the ideals that it preached about. We had something to prove. We had something be better than in all aspects whether economics, military, or civil rights. Consider, we haven't launched a return mission to Luna. We haven't pushed far enough to land men and women on Mars. We haven't pushed to the Asteroid Belt. We certainly haven't made a push to Tau Ceti. And why? We don't have anything that can push us the way that Ivan did.
As for your absurd claim that I don't listen to things that are 'great offenses' to the Far-Left? My God... I'm a man driven by empirical evidence. I'm not moved by the ravings of a lunatic on either side of the political spectrum. I cannot stand Al Sharpton nor can I stand Alex Jones. Both are nutjobs who frankly don't deserve a single penny that they've conned their viewers out of. Should they be allowed their platform? Unfortunately, yes they should because the First Amendment doesn't exist to protect speech we like. It exists to protect speech we don't like. Not that I'd expect you to give a damn about the rights of other Americans that may offend you.

Once again, you ignore the facts and events that have happened. Not to mentioned deny what people like D'Souza sought to exploit the events of America's past and to protect the country of what it truly stands for as they love their country and wanted to protect it from people who want to hurt it in many ways no matter if they're from overseas or if their in our homeland. But if you want to go your way, that's fine. But when shit goes down, don't come crying to me.

Why would I even consider the opinion of a man who refers to Obama as "Anti-Colonial" when the goal of Franklin Delano Roosevelt was to end imperialism?
And I love my country very much, dear sir. I am aware, unlike you, that America isn't a saintly country. Certainly this wonderous nation is far better than any other country that exists. But I can accept that my country is capable of making mistakes (overthrowing democratic regimes and propping up fascist dictators in Latin America, or electing Obama and then re-electing him.). I disagree with you on the appropriate measures this country should take. The funny thing is, you've assumed that I'm "far-left" because I've slammed your assertion that "banning PC" would be a good idea. I merely asserted that what you suggested isn't any better than what they do. I only seem "far-left" because you're so far to the right that you make Donald Trump sound like Bernie Sanders.

That's right, bash other presidents while making Obama a saint.
If you love America, why promote demonizing of it? Sure America isn't perfect but that doesn't mean you can go around and shame it with events of the past or disrespect the American flag like this person here . When people do that, that's crossing the line.
Far Right? How could that be if I'm Pro-Israel, Support Blacks who fought for America in the past or Lincoln? And if you try to say 'Oh, you don't have to be racist to be far-right'. Only someone with a special kind of stupid would make up that claim.

Point of order. HOW did I bash FDR and make Obama look like a saint? My God... you seem to miss the fact that I stated one of America's mistakes was electing the man and then re-electing the man.
Second point, how am I demonizing the country? I've said that yes, America is flawed, but I am proud of my country regardless of her flaws.
Third point. I'd like to point out an example of a far-right non-racist regime. Batista, former President of the Republic of Cuba, was a far right dictator yet he was not racist. Ferdinand Marcos of the Philippines, far-right dictator who implemented martial law fearing a Communist revolt. Not racist. Reza Shah Pahlavi, Autocrat of Iran prior to Ayatollah Khomeini taking power in '79, far-right dictator, not racist. General Augusto Pinochet, American-supported dictator in Chile, wasn't racist.
Fourth point, You're just going to either block me or ignore my points just like a Politically Correct Autocrat.

You ignored what Obama has done and go after presidents of America's past.
If so, then you picked the wrong side.
Very good on the leaders of nations, but you once again ignored the point.
PC? That's very funny. I'm not a lefty who shit of American flags or going around shouting 'America's founded on Genocide, Racism and Imperlism'. And if you make a journal post of me if I decide to block you, I'll make one of you and once again show how people like you are the reason of America's decline.

Oh so because I'm not frothing at the mouth over Obama's decisions, I'm ignoring them? Come now, you can do so much better than that.
Side? My friend, you have a lot to learn. If you think that this country will improve when Obama leaves then you don't understand the problem. Hint: you're worried about who's spending 4-8 years in the White House yet ignoring those in Congress who are going on their 45th year.
I missed the point? Simply putting up the argument that far-right doesn't equal racist. Or did you forget already? The point still stands, you're so far to the right that Donald Trump sounds like Castro.
Oh wow. See now you're inflating my already massive ego. You place far more importance on me than I deserve.

They're president candidates who care for America and will reverse the damages Obama has done...Unless Hillary gets elected and it'll continue downward.

There again you miss the problem. Congress makes the laws, not the president. The president only enforces laws. Civics 101.
And yet I can name far-right dictators that promoted nationalism over absurd racial theories. You'd rather argue semantics however.

Actually you avoid questions that you can't answer as opposed to simply swallowing your pride and saying "I don't know" as if I'll demean you for it. And if your idea of reason is accepting what you say blindly without challenging it then I'll happily be an irrational man who questions what he's told no matter how reputable the source may be. Why? Because as an American I am naturally suspicious of people claiming that they know best.

I don't avoid questions as I know them. But I do point out people who know them such as Dinesh D'Souza, who knows of what's going on. And yet you turned the blind eye on them as if you don't want to learn what they know and experienced.
And what ideal is that? A world united into peace? We tried it in the past but they're people who despise the west for their own wrong reason and seek to destroy it. Attacks such as 9/11 for example and Britain in July 7th, 2005 London bombings and of course, the attack in Paris last month.

You slavishly follow the work of a man who's about as reputable on history as Bernie Sanders is in economics. Which is to say not at all. But to your point, you don't answer the questions, you cry foul when someone dares to bring up the fact that if we held the Founders to the standards of the 21st century that they'd be considered highly racist. It is NOT demonization but merely a statement of fact.

So you finally see D'Souza as the enemy. I figured it wouldn't take long. How else would you refuse to look into him and his documentaries? Instead you follow the droppings of Michael Moore who never once used his wealth to donate to charity let alone make himself thin.
Which is why you go and blame past presidents for these events.

I don't blame past presidents for a damn thing. I'm merely looking at the precedent that was set by their actions that we, the public, have been complicit in allowing to happen.
On a personal level? No I'm not okay with the disrespect of the flag. Yet, freedom of expression allows for it no matter how I may feel. Much as you will try to deny it, I have a respect for the law.

But like you, he exploits events in the past.
Really? I've heard people blaming Bush for getting America into the war in the first place. But they never thought if it changed if he didn't declare war on Terror after 9/11.
But people don't see it that way as soldiers risked their lives as the flag is a symbol of Freedom and Liberty and soldiers fought and died to protect what it means. And others twisted it and say the flag is a symbol of Imperialism and Racism. That's like stomping on graves.

I've exploited it? How pray tell? Give me a concrete example within any conversation that we've had.
People forget that there was a War on Terror even before Dubya. The only reason it's become so prominent now is because of how the PATRIOT Act has shredded our Constitutional rights such as the 4th Amendment's protection against unreasonable search and seizure.
You're absolutely correct. Yet, if our nation can allow horrid organizations like the American Nazi Party or the Westboro Baptist Church to exist, then it must also come to be that we allow horrendous expressions even if we do not like them. Voltaire once said "I do not like what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." I'll defend horrible organizations because I'm well aware of the slip that it can take into totalitarian/authoritarian laws such as banning Huckleberry Finn for the use of the word "nigger" or how you've suggested we "ban political correctness." I say allow people to be stupid and make stupid choices, so long as it doesn't expand further than their own personal space.

Is it really such a laborious task to ask you to prove your assertion? After all you made the claim thus the burden of proof is on you.

Therefore there's no burden when I already showed it as well as people I've mentioned and you looked the other way as if they don't exist.

I asked you for a concrete example you daft buffoon. If I make the assertion that dinosaurs built the Eiffel Tower then I had better provide evidence to support my claim. Now I'll ask you again to provide concrete examples of my exploiting the past, feel free to quote me directly. Otherwise I'll assume this straining conversation is over and done with as I have no patience arguing with a demogouge with no command of the English language

Once again, you've ignored not only the links, but what I've post on journal entries. The links isn't so hard to miss as they lead you straight to it. Or better yet, watch the news on TV or go on Yahoo.com and type in events that's been going on in the search box. It's so easy a one-year old can figure it out. But you can't. That's very embarrassing that you can't do the simple things people tell you let alone show you. So good day.

Here's the thing, if someone's going to ask me for proof, I'll provide it so that it's readily available within the relevant conversation box. What I won't do is tell someone "Go look here" why? Because, the focus is on the conversation at hand not something you've posted some odd months ago. It may befuddle you, but I tend to have a desire to keep my thoughts from going into different conversations. So do me a favor, and drop the self-righteous bullshit.
