No I remembered. It'll be really funny if it turns out America's oil-motivated sneak attack is how the giant ultimately goes back to sleep. I could see this disaster unfolding with the winding down of the military industrial complex following a massive economic collapse and the loss of status as world reserve currency, so it's not the silliest hypothetical I can cook up.
