Exactly, why is it that your web site you post is hosted by a Commercial Export/Import Consultant Company based in the UK? I believe you are a front for the Chinese Government.
I believe you should not be identified as a member, but more appropriately as a Government Agent

Because its like the other millions of websites hosted by indiviuals. Its connected with the other sino(Chinese) websites like sinodefence.com
I believe you should not be identified as a member, but more appropriately as a Government Agent
So us international communist members are looking for small town folk like yourself?

Westpoint is indeed correct. Israel has some good equipment, good technology, good training, and everything else you need to be effective in combat. The problem that they're more of a defense force. They could hold off an attack by all their neighbors I'd bet, or even hold off a US invasion force for a bit with good performance. But you couldn't ask them to go invade the whole rest of the Middle East or the US, that's not what they're setup to do. And I can't say that it's such a bad thing to have a good defensive force.
But force projection is just something they don't have outside of their region. I realize that their special forces units proved that Israel has a long reach by rescuing hostages in Uganda I think it was, but they can't make massive force deployments like the US or USSR could've.
Same goes for China, and probably Russia and the EU to a lesser extent. China's force projection capabilities are pretty short range, while Russia's are questionable, and only a few of the EU's members have proper force projection abilities (mostly just the UK and France). Although I'm interested to see what kind of force projection the EU, India and China will be creating for themselves.
Oh and Semperfoo, that was a pretty interesting read. Thanks for that link.

I think the EU is actually putting more effort into arming China then they are themselves, if only they were legally allowed to sell China weapons. Also, Russia...what's the deal with Russia? China will probably be a massive threat to Russian security in the future, so what do they do? They do everything they can to help China militarise, eg selling them weapons/tech.

beside even if EU in the future is allowed to sell weapons to china, those are probably going to be crappy weapons that no one want, including china.

You dont seriously think that Netherland is in charge of these don't you?
Netherland in terms of power is a joke compared to the US
EU wouldn't be much help to china anyway,
even Russia nowadays tend sell their junks to china at an extremely expensive price;
PS. the puny canadian force nowadays is like a joke without the US force helping them
