But the Chinese are our friends. That’s what my TV said. It also said they are our strategic partner. I don’t understand??

Their plan is to push US forces out to “the second island chain” —bye-bye Okinawa for the USMC.

This is why a couple days ago we —for the first time ever— published those photos of nuke subs docked at 4 different Pacific locations.

This type of thing will become more frequent.

China's military build up is VERY disturbing.

If you define a World War as all the major powers in a war with each other or as a part of an alliance, then we have actually had 7 world wars:

30 years War

Spanish Wars of Succession

Seven Years War The Napoleonic Wars

The Franco-Prussian War

WWI

WWII

If you look at the timeline they are about every 50 years. So we are over due for the last peace to no longer be relevant by new events.

What could be some of those events?

China becoming a military power comensurate with its population or Japan becoming a military power comensurate with its economic power.

In this case one may bring the other.

They should have sunk them with a few North Korean torpedoes.
