Our Air Force(s) have more planes, our Navy has greater Tonnage and we have more Strategic Arms. :yeah:

It answers the question you asked.

No I didn't. If you notice I already pointed out to you that it wasn't the case and you were wrong

Two wrongs one after the other.

Unless you get the first bits right instead of wrong you shouldn't move to a conclusion

We have a winner:up:



You would have a point if the articles about the riots were telling you that if you got a soul mate through a dating agency you would be safe from sectarian idiots playing silly buggers:03:

Take a look at some the articles here Raptor... http://wuxinghongqi.blogspot.com/201...7_archive.html
might surprise you.

Don't forget that at any given moment the US only has a couple hundred thousand battle ready troops.

They can have a billion troops and it won't matter. The PRC lacks the ability to transport them much farther than Taiwan's west coast.

The PLAAF has less than 200 medium/heavy transport aircraft.
The PLAN has about 100 medium/heavy assault ships (about 70 of them are short range vessels). They also have about 400 landing craft. They have the ability to move there two Marine Brigades and some follow up forces in their neighborhood but that's about it.

The US has six MEUs with intergraded air and armor that can strike anywhere in the world. The US also has two Airborne Divisions that can do likewise.

Also lets not forget the USAF has planes that can fly from the Midwest and bomb targets undetected in the middle east. The Chinese air force's planes can't fly much farther than Guam.

The PRC has sufficient forces to hassle Taiwan or Vietnam or maybe Japan but short of using nuclear bombs they can't really try to fight the US.

:shifty: If you don't count the US' national guard units you can't count the Chinese reserve units....

Also, do the Chinese run similar theories to the Norks where EVERY citizen is considered to be in the reserve army? If so, wow, 1 Billion, give or take, combatants against the US... that'd suck big ones.

Also, I would hazard a guess that neither the US nor China will want to invade the other for fear of nuclear retaliation or just fear of a meat grinder.. it'd probably be played out in some third world country or theatre that is not close to home (Middle East, Africa, Pacific)

I fear you are being drawn in to a speculative debate. ;) is the bait worth such gust?

I can't see anywhere that confirms your numbers, though obviously I haven't looked at the whole thing.

Aren't all debates speculative? Or at least most of them. Regardless, those are the most interesting ones...

Clearly you are a hard pounding gentleman whom embraces opinions tightly, this I observe, but is the subject matter worthy enough? :hmmm:

If he's taking the time out of day to post here I'd say it is worthy enough :haha:

That's OK FF and I also live in the AU safety zone where no credible media exists.

I must add Bahrain regime persecution, torture and unjustified trial of demonstrators, activists, oppositions and medical staffs and doctors.

:nope:

How does she if she is a she write so much with so poor English :hmmm:.

It's dizzying trying read that blog.

Good point , Bahrain hasn't made a headline since the 22nd, the media really must buck its act up, two days is too long for a dodgy regime to be out of the headlines.
Obviously they spent too much time yesterday on their middle eastern coverage doing Libya, Syria, Yemen(damn thats the story that isn't covered and certainly isn't updated), Israel/Palestine (as usual), Saudi, Iran, Iraq and Egypt instead of real news....why won't the lamestream media cover these issues eh? why are they being so quiet?:88)

What we really need is for the media to give more real stories about fluffy kittens stuck in strange places or Pandas with erectile disfunction

Number 11, is gonna be used by those who believs in 2012 as a given truth.
