Default Oh great... The US of A is heading to China

Taiwan is an ally to the States. Taiwan is under the threat of military action from China to prevent the independence of Taiwan. Ok. So it is understandable that we would make a military presence to warn China not to strike against Taiwan.

But, we are not just making our presence known and simply sending a message. We need to send 7 aircraft carrier strike groups. This is the first time in our Naval history that we are sending 7 of the 12 of this particular class to one region. Then the US says that we are testing out a new Fleet Response Plan.

Kind of makes you wonder why so many ships are being dispatched to China. Is China capable of putting up a good fight? Apparently their military technology has improved greatly over the years. Before, we sent a few ships here and there to keep China at bay. That seemed to work. Now all of a sudden, we need to send a record number of ships and tell everyone we are testing a new Fleet Response Plan. Just makes you wonder how much China actually has advanced.

We haven't even cleaned up the mess from the Middle East yet. Now, we are flexing our muscles with China. If we get into a battle with China, that means more of our troops will be occupying yet another country.

How thin can the US spread itself before we become really vulnerable at home? How much money can we keep investing in yet another military action before our economy see's a boost or really goes to shit?

Guaranteed, we are supposed to support Taiwan, but is it really necessary to flex our muscles this much or is Taiwan justification for something bigger?

Give thanks to Klinton's openness policy with China. All the US companies that transferred technology down there, just to re-sell the goods in the USA...

They may be selling Nike running shoes, but they requires high tech stuff for the manufacturing process nevertheless...

So American technology found it's way massively into China.

I never understood why Klinton was so keen to do business with a country which philosophy is a hatred for everything the USA stands for...

Thats really very scary Panky. Cause If the US sends all those ships, I think we would have to send some of our ships also.

Just given their numbers.... over 3 billion people in China... and they're not stupid.

If any one country could put the US in their place, China is probably it.

This could get real ugly if not handled well

I think that there are alot people on this planet that would not want that to happen. Not a very smart move to see US take on China, mainly cause a hell of alot of people would die. Maybe even you or me!

Royal Canadian Air Farce...

We used to have two squadrons of 12 CF-18 Hornet. Now, most of them are being cannibalized for parts to keep a few remainnig ones flying.

Panky, I believe the US has to send troops there to protect the american money that has been invested out there either through companies or through goverments. China has been one nation that has pretty much laughed off threats from the US Gov. in the past.

l3vi, you can move here, we'll give you the northern part. Happy whale hunting!
