Funny he would mention the Chinese and the Russians as examples.
According to someone I know these are the two countries that defeat us in Pentagon simulations.
In a recent war game—The 5th Fleet was matched up against Spain—and they won! Spain! How would we fare against Germany? Poland? dare I say it Russia? If Putin comes for us he will not come alone—he will have an Axis of Evil behind him—China, North Korea, Iran, Sudan, maybe Cuba and others. Weakness breeds adventurism on the part of our enemies.
