Helicopters and warships dominated the South China Sea on Monday, as Russia and China continued their joint eight-day naval exercises, dubbed Joint Sea 2016. A total of 18 ships and supply vessels, 21 aircraft and over 250 service personnel took part in the Joint Sea 2016 naval drills on September 12-19 in the South China Sea.
Can someone explain to me why we want to fuck with these people?
If we screw around with China or Russia, we are going to be like the school bully who gets his ass kicked and then goes home and is never heard from again.
There are on two reasons TiP…
One: The military industrial complex has to grow as world economic growth slows…
Two: Inside their heads the Russian and Chinese leaders (and people) hold insignificantly different beliefs than do American leaders (and some people)…
Pessimistically, I go with number one…
LOL
I only see the stunning ladder of the copter.
ok–so like our newest carrier, USS Gerald Ford, (CVN 78), costs $13,000,000,000.00 with 508 officers and 3,789 ratings–USA’s best (BEST for the MIC complex, that is.)
they will face:
HUNDREDS of Chinese CJ-10K unmanned cheap-assed cruise missiles, fired from subs or Xian H-6 bombers at a stand-off range of 1,500 km armed with conventional or nuke tips.
….only ONE needs to get thru the defensive perimeter…only one.
Q: What odds is Las Vegas is giving for USA? For China?
Lay your money down, boys! Lay your money down!
