why the hell do these countries WANT these other countries SO BAD !!?!?
what the HELL!!!!!!!!!
Russia needs to go back to Russia, and China needs to stay in China!
LEAVE EVERYONE ELSE ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good observation.
Nice big noisy Chinese target .......no pings required!
Easy to find, easy to kill. BUT, someone has to have the will to strike. I don’t see it in today’s Washington DC. If China strikes, it will be sudden and unexpected.
“We can only hope the situation doesn’t go critical before we get a president who can again negotiate stairs.”

Yes, we have leadership problems but we also have stressed our military in myriad ways, not to mention our recruiting problems. We’d be in a much stronger position to discourage Chinese aggression if we weren’t so over extended elsewhere. But of course that gets right back to the leadership problem.
Our far flung and endless military adventures have taken a toll on our readiness. You can’t operate at a high tempo indefinitely, and we are coming close to that with our extended commitments around the globe. Platforms, weapons, munitions and personnel are under constant strain. Maintenance, training, replenishment and refurbishment get delayed. So less than optimal readiness when you really need it.
In a very real sense China has been emboldened by our other global distractions.
Worry not the woke military will vanish overnight when the balloon goes up. The talk of inclusion will be gone with the first big defeat. We thought one American could beat ten Japanese—then came Bataan.
“If China strikes, it will be sudden and unexpected.”

Perhaps but it has other options.
Don’t overlook the fact that China has diesel-electric attack submarines that are likely to be in the vicinity, and some recent versions have improved their acoustic signature.
For a measly $250,000 to boot!
Yeah, right. Those stories are BS, as you know.
The ones coming through now are real.
Undoubtedly. And dispersed all across the U.S. Some have jobs inside our secure facilities.
Too bad they can’t feed their own people.
Thanks.
And they have almost identical bags, clothes, and are treated differently. They have special hotels they stay in while in Panama, etc.
Ho Li Phuk…..
That was Loral, not Hughes!
Are you sure it wasn’t the now-defunct Loral?
After having transfer authority moved from the State Department to the Department of Commerce?
Luckily the US is INVINCIBLE so those Chinese nukes are no threat to us...just like the Russian nukes.
Correct. Klingon enabled chicom ballistic weapon development. Still fuming at the treason .
Probably
