I've said it before and I'll say it again: The Chinese, when it suits them economically, will attempt to take charge of their hemisphere. And there is some Chinese general,or perhaps a LOT of them, who have been watching America's military actions thru the 90's to the present, and more importantly who have been watching America's military culture from the 70's to the present, who are just aching to start the fight.

Whatever happened to this country dealing with traitors that sold sensitive technology to the enemy? The Rosenburgs were executed.

In certain areas it is becoming a First World military force - in areas such as ballistic and cruise missiles, advanced fighters and multi-role aircraft, advanced submarines with anti-ship cruise missiles.

In certain areas? Heck that's about ALL the areas!

This makes it official.

Poohbah and all his Free Trade brethren who attempted to "spin" Free Republic....into blind Panda-hugging complacency....

were WRONG. WRONG. WRONG.

Can we say it enough?

No we cannot.

They were WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!

Their purported defense credentials appear to be rather questionable now, eh?
