    Default China training for strikes on US targets

    the Pentagon warned in a startling new report that China is likely training for bombing strikes against U.S. targets, while developing its nuclear capabilities.

    The revelations come in the Pentagon’s 2018 report to Congress on “Military and Security Developments Involving the People’s Republic of China” which focuses on developments in 2017.

    Overall, the report found that China wants to leverage its economic, diplomatic and strategic strength to “establish regional preeminence and expand the country’s international influence.”

    Militarily, the report said the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has been developing capabilities in “overwater bomber operating areas” and is “gaining experience in critical maritime regions and likely training for strikes against U.S. and allied targets.”

    This is part of a broader commitment to strengthening the PLA so it can operate farther away from China.

    he report also found that China is advancing “an ambitious agenda of military modernization and organizational reforms.” Part of that involves the PLA’s Air Force being reassigned a nuclear mission, which would “provide China with a nuclear ‘triad’ of delivery systems dispersed across land, sea, and air.”

    In May, China landed a long-range nuclear-capable bomber on an island in the disputed South China Sea, a move that raised tensions in the region due to a prior commitment by China not to militarize the area.

    Tensions have been rising between China and the U.S. for months amid an escalating trade war between the two countries. The Trump administration is also mulling a Space Force in order to counter threats in space from countries including China.

    he new report said that China’s space program “continues to mature rapidly” and is also developing counterspace capabilities to “degrade and deny adversary use of space-based assets during a crisis or conflict.”

    The report also found that China’s relationship with North Korea has reached “the lowest level in decades” as it works on a dual track approach that uses both dialogue and pressure on the rogue regime over its nuclear capabilities.

    I read about this earlier today and can't get it off my mind. It's about all that technology again that I keep thinking about. I think China's doing a little flexing in the public eye. I think Trump started off with a good diplomatic approach with Xi. It's kind of like two fighters touching gloves for the sake of respect, but Trump knows he has to keep up the pressure to show him that this not like the good old days of letting them get away with any more than they already have.

    I listened to Michael Pillsbury again. Tonight he was on with Tucker. He has quite a take on Trump's influence on Xi and China.
    Their conversation begins at the 24:45 mark......

    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    It's the Chinese hegemony coupled with military expansionism that is worrisome.
    They are not out to duplicate Pax Americana. They want their own world order, and they want economic and military superiority to do it

    Here, let me add to the fun:

    "BEIJING (Reuters) - China formally opened its first overseas military base on Tuesday with a flag raising ceremony in Djibouti in the Horn of Africa, the same day as the People’s Liberation Army marks its 90th birthday, state media said."
    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-c...-idUSKBN1AH3E3

    This over looks the entrance to the Red Sea and entrance to the Suez*Canal. It's across the Strait from Yemen, where the Saudis are fighting for control.

    I liked Pillsbury's remark that he hadn't seen this level of respect from China for the U.S. in 40 years. LOL

    I understand that China's new base is almost next door to a U.S. military drone base.

    "Djibouti is strategically located by the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, which separates the Gulf of Aden from the Red Sea and controls the approaches to the Suez Canal. As a result, the country hosts many other foreign military bases, including a Chinese naval base, a French airbase, and a Japanese base. To protect against security threats, Camp Lemonnier is operated like an aircraft carrier. Unlike French troops, who are allowed to enter the city and interact with the local population, US troops are not allowed to leave Camp Lemonnier except by special permission, and most of Djibouti City is classified as a "no-go area."[7][8]"

    Hey Retard, how will they have economic superiority if they bomb their main market?
    Chinese are a lot smarter than you.
    Your OP is a brazen lie, the article say "likely" you disingenuous dirty fucking liar.

    You have zero credibility.

    what you're not smart enough to figure out is that trumps slapping his dick on the table is exactly what caused the Chinese to think that they might needed to Target us. Dear God you drug-addled uneducated deplorables are stupid.

    stupid fuck.kill yourself. up the USA's IQ

    War surpasses any economic considerations. Given Chinese desires to dominate we have to prepare for it
    (it's called national security) the same as we did with the USSR during the cold war.
