Before the start of ww2 the British/French forces were on paper superior than the Germans, facts and figures are all well and good but you cannot
leave out the most important element. That is you opponents determination and leadership we and the French lacked bold leadership and resolve. The
Germans on the other hand were totally dedicated had a brilliant command structure and had a madmad at the top of the pile.
I assume most of you out there, including myself are not military planners or stratagists so to answer the original question if think you have to look
at who's the potential rival, what is the mindset of its people and its leaders and what is its military capability.
I think China wants to knock America of its throne, they have been rearming and modernising at a tremedous pace. The Chinese have been getting plenty
of help from the Russians who are cash strapped. The chinese recently purchased the uncompleted Viryag from the Rs and Chinese naval engineers have
had it under the microscope. I think the Chinese will complete the carrier and use it as a working, well armed model. They will then start their own
carrier program.
They have two Sovremenny DDGS with at least 2 more on the stocks, these vessels carry 8 Sunburn missiles each, 1500 m range , flies at 1700mph and can
carry up to 200kt yield nukes and can only be detected 2.5 seconds before impact. The Ch are also looking at putting them on smaller craft.
The mind set of the Ch leaders and military see the US as weak and dont have the resolve/will to fight if it means sustaining massive losses, the
American public will not stand for it (and before you patriots start ranting that last sentence is from an American publication).
So how would the Ch declaw the American Eagle, well dont you remove your opponents ability to hit you at short range first especially when they are on
your doorstep. They may go for the tripple, goad/assist North Korea in eliminating your forces in the south, take out your bases on Japan and go for
Taiwan they certainly have the military capablity and they have the will. So how does the US respond, do you send in your carrier battle groups backed
by marines etc. I think the CH would not hesitate to use its sunburn missiles, only one needs to get through you defences and its fubar time for your
CBGs. So what happens next, a full nuclear exchange, would the American goverment and its people want to commit mass suicide. All this is mere
speculation and theorising, war to a degree is planned but the outcome can be uncertain.
Part 2 which may/maynot be connected to the above
What the hell is going on inside of America, you have that half witt Bush telling you your constuition is just a god damm bit of paper, draconian
legislation PA1/2 internment camps etc. What I cannot understand is that you have Bush and his gang telling you there's terrorist hiding behind every
bush (parden the pun) yet instead of making the people stronger he's actually making you the people weaker by the use of the above legislation. None
of the above legislation will prevent a terrorist or any other kind of attack, we indured nearly 3 decades of terrorism but it never induced the
British Goverment to introduce such draconian measures. So what are Bush and Co up to. Before Hitler started his rampage across Europe he did three
things, rebuilt the armed forces, united the German people (brainwashed through fear and terror) and killed off the political opposition, or sent then
to internment camps (sounds familiar) can you see the similarity. I dont know if any of you have read John Kaminski's works on this matter but you
should.
Also www.sinodefence.com is a very good site for details on China's Military.
