It would be so incredibly great if we could somehow keep bombarding U.S. policymakers with propaganda about the incredible military advantage of a well-developed high-speed train network. Then again, with military procurement as ludicrously broken as it is, we'd probably end up with an F-35 train that is amphibious (for the Marines) but which can't top 35MPH or elevations above Des Moines.

Train articles are a very effective weapon, California will go bankrupt building their choo-choo and they will need to borrow money from China to build it. Win-win.
