US Aircraft Carrier to Exercise in Yellow Sea

The Pentagon announced Thursday that the U.S. aircraft carrier George Washington will participate in planned exercises with South Korean forces in the Yellow Sea, between the Korean Peninsula and China. The announcement comes in spite of strong objections from China.

Well I guess we should be holding our breath now.

I thought the US gov had backed down due to China's objections, seems like I am eating crow.

I wonder what the repercussions of this action will be...

Stay tuned!

China will do nothing other than stomp up and down and condemn it. Yes they have a fairly decent military, but in all honesty it still does not hold a candle to the US or NATO military might. China=40-70 billion a year spent on a billion man army plus equipment. US=500-700 billion a year spent on a 1.5 million man army plus equipment not including hidden black budget funds in the trillions! The US has years and years of an experienced War fighting machine. China has not been in a War in a very long time. Sure they can throw large numbers of mass troops at us...I say cannon fodder!

This is to show NK that we mean business and for little Kim to watch his P's and Q's if you ask me.
