“How do you make an enemy air defense system go completely blank in the first minute of the conflict?” Welsh asked reporters last week. “How do you make a [surface to air missile] radar show a thousand false targets that all look real so you don’t know where the real package is in the middle of that? How do you keep enemy surface to surface missiles from ever launching — or [fly] halfway to their target and then turn around and go home?”
It’s building a “Cyber Mission Force” that will include 133 teams made up of about 6,200 troops and Defense Department civilians, which it wants ready for action by fiscal 2018. That cadre would defend military networks, defend the U.S. against attacks of “significant consequence” and conduct “full-spectrum operations” for “contingency plans and military operations,”

If a nation has such overwhelming military superiority, and broadcasts that fact, then the mindset is, hopefully, the other side wont risk a confrontation.

Indeed they are. Personally, I was always one of those that saw the biggest, baddest tough guy as a personal challenge to topple for the sport and accomplishment, but I do not believe that world politics works like that. However, once the big, bad boy on the block overreaches his ability to defend at the same time that he pisses off the entire block, well what happens when they all gang up on him and move together against him (BRICS). Well I do believe we will find out shortly...

First off I seriously doubt China will lift a finger against the US. Why attacked their largest market?
But if they do India, Israel, Canada, England, France, Taiwan hell most of NATO then we have Australia Plus every nation in the south China see gearing up for China's expansion move in the future. You can listen to all the opinions you want. But the fact of the matter is the governments will side with the US, the people may not but the governments will.
I almost forgot Free Tibet!!!!!!
