China wouldn't be ready for a few more years to faceoff against America directly. But the trend is that this is coming; the question is whether it will be 5 years or 10 years from now.

We can move it into the way-out-there outyears by donating some of our excess destroyers to the Filipino Navy. I read last week that a Spruance class destroyer built in the 1980's was being scrapped. This sounds like a waste of resources to me.

The Peking based Maoist mob of 250 mass-murdering gangster bastards that calls itself "china" will be ready to confront Our Beloved FRaternal Republic head on straight after the arabs are ready to take on Israel.

That is, some time, say a couple hundred years, after the Jiang Gang is able to lift its jackboot off the throat of its brutally enslaved medieval masses, whose per capita income is around USD$300.00 per year.

At present 1.25-billion population, "china's," much-vaunted peoples' liberation army would not dare even to set a foot on the FRee Republic of China's Taiwan.

For fear that Taiwan's 22 million FRee Men would kick the pla's arse all the way to Kunming or beyond, perhaps even to Llasa, capital of just one of the Sovereign Nations -- and 2 million square miles of other peoples' land -- invaded, conquered, colonized and brutally enslaved by Peking's lying, looting, thieving, mass-murdering, Maoist monsters!
