In a related story, the messiah has ordered that the ChiComs achieve this rescue of their peoples’ republik from the horrors of the crumbling American economy. He states that we shall now scrap our ten carrier advantage so that we can all now kiss Deng Shou Peng’s rotting corpse’s ass in order to achive the return of the glorious pre-Reaganus Maximus years of the Jimmah Cahtah clusterfrak!

PRAISE ALLAH!

That depends on if we can get a silent torpedo up and working in time.

That program will probably be cut as a "Future Combat System", by the Messiah. He needs the money for the Obama Youth Corps.

“why not continue and expand free-trade with them. that should solve the problem.” /s/

then cut off free trade and isolate them. let them become inbred, unstable communists with no connection to the rest of the world and with no stake in it.

best regards

cutting off free trade makes them as inbred as the north koreans, with a starving, desperate population. that’s not a fallacy.

SONOBUOY PING!

Click on pic for past Navair pings.

Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.

The Chinese are going to build to aircraft carriers. Oh, very nice.

So, who are they going to hire to teach them how to use them?

These things don't come with instruction manuals!

“they trade nothing because they have nothing.”

they have nothing because they are are a pure communist state and make nothing without planning and finding enemies of the revolution under every rock. they are inbred, paranoid and hateful of any free enterprise.

at least china is open to the world and not closed off.
most importantly, they are not engaged in wholesale arrests and murder of their citizens judged to be enemies of the state.

and, mr. obama is not the messiah.

best regards.

It is my hope that they will learn the same way we did: Through trial and error. That should give quite a few Chinese sailors the opportunity to earn the Navy Cross. (Let me point out here that I know that the PRC almost certainly has no decoration called "The Navy Cross")

What a time to have an affirmative action clueless “leader.”

I don’t think his experience or his manner of operating equips him to deal with this.

"to paraphrase admiral cunningham... it takes 3 years to build a new fleet. it takes 300 years to build a new tradition."

Our own history shows how wrong that is. I'd say John Paul Jones created one hell of a navy, and one hell of a naval tradition, all on short notice. Determined nations get things done.

That’s a known problem with the FR software/database/system, on older legacy articles. If you ever get that error message, just keep hitting refresh (F5) until the page loads.
