Saw a old video of a Russian ship bumping a US ship back in the 80s.
That must have been intense.
The irony of course is that the Chinese military was built using American money.
Reactivate the Iowa class battleships and send them over there. If a collision occurs - guess who loses!
Had China taken a non-aggressive leadership role in SE Asia, it might have gotten many countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines into its orbit. By nakedly seeking territorial expansion on all fronts, the Chinese are playing a risky game. Instead of scattering their opponents, the Chinese may unite them. For allies, the Chinese have Myanmar, North Korea, and Pakistan, which are more liability than help in most situations.
Should India, South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, and Malaysia form a concerted alliance, China will have a serious tactical problem. Granted there are issues with that happening, but China is greasing the skids.
China's Achilles heal is petroleum. It must import most of it, and mainly from the middle east. That means long shipment routes (LOC) that China does not and cannot control. Chinese aircraft carriers are not being built for the South China Sea, they are being built for the Indian Ocean. Keep your eyes on the Andaman, Nicobar, and Coco Islands. The Chinese are going to have to control those.
Of course, fracking could solve China's petroleum problem, as they have enormous shale reserves.
shepherds chapel with Pastor Arnold Murray on current Events 2014 noted in reference to the end times Armies being formed even now— “Sadly we armed most of them— ‘Then he reminded us that when we left Iraq under Obama we left a lot of our arms behind-to be used against us no doubt.
A war serves the interests of both parties. China knows that the monkey man is weak and cares little about foreign policy and defending US interests. The monkey man can always use a war as a diversion and as a way to rally the dumbed down public against a foreign threat. A war also allows the dictator to further consolidate power.
Unlike Syria, the public would likely view China as an existential threat, and the jingoism could work to the dictator’s advantage.
What we could see is a scenario of sabre rattling. The regime could pretend to act tough while giving away key concessions to the Chinese. Meanwhile, the run-up to a possible war would justify more police state actions, currency controls and executive power. Then, when war is suddenly averted, the media would hail the dictator as the resurrected savior, just in time for the 2016 elections.
Half of China has no drinkable water and they are polluting themselves to death.
They aborted so many females that they have a lots of men for a few women.
They need land.
They need raw materials.
There will be a war with them IMO.
They’re just testing our ships capabilities to develop counter measures.
Horses are out of the barn running with the bulls, it’s no time to play chicken.
The Chinese tiger has thrown the Russian bear under the bus, and is playing chicken with the running dogs of imperialism!
