THANKFULLY China is a BACKWARD country and we will NEVER have to worry about them...or so I was lectured to that effect on THIS SITE several times over the past 5 years.

Of course the REALITY will be that we try engaging them in the Pacific, they sink one of our carriers and we simply “head home”, and our days as a world power are over. That’s one of the reasons we should be FRIENDS with Russia, not enemies, no matter how much the President wants to get our minds off of Healthcare and Illegal Immigration.

Obama and Hagel's vaunted military "Pivot to the Pacific" is nothing but a charade.

We are not "pivoting" anywhere, except to oblivion.

The Chinese, like the Russians, are vastly increasing their military spending while we are gutting ours.

The Chinese-Russian military buildup is not for parades and it isn't full of crappy equipment this time. It is real, with crack equipment and trained troops.

The Japanese, Aussies, New Zealand, Taiwan, and other Pacific allies know that Obama will not respond if China invades. He and Hagel cannot be trusted. The Poles, Germans, and Brits know the same if there is war in Europe.

The only reason Obama and Hagel spew this "Pivot to Asia" garbage is as a cover for gutting our military, abandoning Europe and the Middle East, and cutting old allies off at the knees.
