Should not every military be 'preparing for war'! If they are not, what are they doing?

I don't think Canada's military is preparing for war although i could be wrong. All I know is the USA. We have always been at war therefore always ready never preparing... China sit down better do a cyber attack or release more viruses...

 

[joluoto]

What the Chinese government want is to fill their pockets with even more money. So alot of their policies are basically: "how to get the sweet loot".

China Now Has Instructions For ‘Incoming Biden Administration’

China Wants ‘Incoming Biden Administration’ To Fall In Line
The piece states that the CCP wants a “partnership” with the Biden administration that is “categorically different” than the China-U.S. relationship under President Donald Trump.

“Biden is, irrevocably, the 46th US president,” the editorial insists. The Global Times also references the coronavirus pandemic and warns that “Demonizing China or slinging dirt on Chinese people will never help to stop the flare-up of infections and fatalities in America.”

“China’s experiences are impressive in curtailing the pandemic, and China’s unparalleled ability in manufacturing PPEs and producing vaccine vials and freezers should not be neglected and could be made use of by the Biden government,” the Global Times said.

Biden has already singled his lack of concern about China.

Nuclear fusion has been “just around the corner” for 80 some years. China is just running their own exploration based on refining and analyzing research stolen from other countries. Nuclear fusion’s Archilles heel is the fact that stars have sufficient gravity to make it work, and we are trying to replicate that with particle collisions to get the M in E=MCsquared.

I always thought that the issue with fusion was the temperatures required and having an effective 'magnetic bottle' to contain that, as no physical material could.

The magnetic fields are used for containment

I wonder how the fuel is added and how energy ie heat is to be extracted to allow it to be self sustaining

Also good questions, as a fusion reaction in a magnetic bottle without being able to add fuel and extract the energy is kinda a nice research experiment and ego boost 'we did it', but not very useful all on it's own.

China can not threaten us in a conventional war....but in 20 years they will be

In 20 years the US economy and military will be well advanced beyond that of China.

China hasn't won a conflict or a war since its presto in and out invasion of northern India in 1962.

Chinese are lousy war fighters which is why they have to emphasize winning without firing a shot which they've never done in the first place.

In 1979 in "Deng's War" into Vietnam the Vietnamese high command activated the militia to toss the Chinese armies out and back into China in 27 dayze. Hanoi didn't as much as engage with its regular forces, which it held in reserve to protect the cities located well away from the VN China border, learned from the lessons of history.

Chinese have a better propaganda machine than either the Russians or the US Marine Corps and so many Americans are suckers for it.

 

[Tangmo]

I heard Mark Steyn on the radio a while back saying something like:
'Soon our interest payments on the national debt will exceed what we spend on defense, and by the way, those same payments
will fund the naval military budget of the People’s Republic of China. When “the Commies take Taiwan, suburban families in Albuquerque
and small businesses in Pocatello will have paid for it.”

China's debt has been growing faster than its GDP for going on ten years now.

Nomura Research that was the first to call the burst of the China housing and property bubble in 2015 projects zero China GDP growth by 2023. China GDP growth has only been slowing since Xi Jinping came to power in 2013, principally because Xi has failed miserably to increase household spending to create domestic production and consumption beyond trade as the basis of the economy. China has no domestic economy.

Beijing was supposed to be ready to invade Taiwan by 2020 which has only a couple of weeks to go while China has many years to go to be capable of assaulting Taiwan. People who have no clue of Taiwan's defense plan should not talk out of the blue either.

Trump and his family mafia will now want free and open trade with China, no tariffs, no restrictions on imports-exports, a Trump hotel in each major city of China if not more than one in the major cities, tax exemptions in China and Trump will become the promoter of Chinese ownership of USA land, property, businesses and corporations, open immigration from China, and lots more now that he's back in private business again but only after having been Potus.

Farmers in Iowa and Kansas and so many other states will love Trump traveling to Beijing and arranging for their goods to be exported again to China while the big bucks flow for the Chinese, Trump's base in the USA and to the Trump family mafia.

Beijing put out the word during the campaign to the Chinese in the CCP-PRC that Trump was their guy for four more years -- and then a whole lot more years. The reason being Trump was built by Putin to destroy US alliances globally to the huge advantage of Moscow and Beijing.

There isn't a cause-effect relationship between the two vis-a-vis either China or Russia.

Neither Trump nor Biden needs to wait on the other to act or not act.

The one thingy for sure is that Trump out of office is going to be groveling to China for hotels and other money deals, very probably Russia too.

Trump's very likely to become a free trader, no tariff and I Love China guy who also facilitates money deals for China and himself in the USA. The Trump Cult will have to sell that one too and you'll do it with both cheer and conviction.

Buddying up with dictatorships hasn't ever been a problem for Trump and you guys. It's democracies you Cultists hate.

 

[Praxas]

I cannot pretend to understand what benefit China gets by standing by North Korea,
but there must be something.

What do you think will happen if instability happens in NK? They know if the current NK government collapses or if NK starts a war, they will have the US as their direct neighbor. They don't war (right now) directly with the US nor do they want the US at their border. So they stand by NK to appease and delay the inevitable.

MALABAR 2020 QUAD NAVAL EXERCISE

Australia got its long held wish this year to enter the annual Operation Malabar Exercises with the regulars, the US, India and Japan. The group are now known internationally as the Quad.

• The Malabar series of Naval exercises started in 1992 as a bilateral Indian Navy-US Navy exercise. Japan joined the Naval exercise in 2015. Australia gained membership this year, 2020.
  
  
• This annual exercise has been conducted off the coast of Guam and in the Philippine Sea in 2018, off the coast the Japan in 2019 and in the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea this year.
  
  
• The participants of Exercise Malabar 2020 are engaging to enhance safety and security in the maritime domain. They collectively support the free, open and inclusive Indo-Pacific geostrategic region and remain committed to a rules based international order.

Join the Navy and save the world ha.

Or one can join the Coast Guard, Air Force, Marines, Army and do the same thing differently.

U.S. Navy 26th Rim of the Pacific Exercise

Twenty-six nations, 47 surface ships, five submarines, 18 national land forces, and more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel participated in the biennial Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC) exercise scheduled June 27 to Aug. 2, 2018 in and around the Hawaiian Islands and Southern California. As the world’s largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity designed to foster and sustain cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world’s interconnected oceans. RIMPAC 2018 is the 26th exercise in the series that began in 1971.

This year’s exercise [2018 pre Covid] includes forces from Australia, Brazil, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Colombia, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Peru, the Republic of Korea, the Republic of the Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Tonga, the United Kingdom, the United States and Vietnam. This is the first time Brazil, Israel, Sri Lanka and Vietnam are participating in RIMPAC. Additional firsts include New Zealand serving as sea combat commander and Chile serving as combined force maritime component commander. This is the first time a non-founding RIMPAC nation (Chile) will hold a component commander leadership position. This year will also feature live firing of a Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) from a U.S. Air Force aircraft, surface to ship missiles by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force, and a Naval Strike Missile (NSM) from a launcher on the back of a Palletized Load System (PLS) by the U.S. Army. This marks the first time a land based unit will participate in the live fire event during RIMPAC. RIMPAC 18 will also include international band engagements and highlight fleet innovation during an Innovation Fair.

Significantly, China was disinvited attending as an observer after having accepted its first time invitation as an observer in 2016. Russia remains a never invited country.

Unlike the American Political Right the armed forces know it is suicide to retreat back to the USA in this 21st century world which is why Donald J. Trump became the first Republican Party Potus to lose the military vote since Herbert Hoover who notoriously crushed the Bonus Army.

Beijing’s South China Sea military bases ‘are vulnerable to attack and will be of little use in a war’

• China’s facilities in the disputed Spratly Islands have alarmed its rival claimants, but a military magazine says they have significant weaknesses
• Article argues their size and location makes them hard to defend and their airstrips are too small to be effective

6 Dec, 2020

But an article in the latest edition of Naval and Merchant Ships, a Beijing-based monthly magazine, highlighted the artificial islands’ weaknesses in four areas: their distance from the mainland, small size, the limited capacity of their airstrips and the multiple routes by which they could be attacked.

The magazine, published by the China State Shipbuilding Corporation, which builds ships for the Chinese navy, also warned that they had yet to achieve any significant offensive capabilities. The magazine said the islands were deep in the South China Sea and far from the Chinese mainland. It also warned there was no coherent chain connecting them, so it would be difficult to provide support if one came under attack.

Xi Jinping has since taking full power in 2013 transmogrified the CCP-PRC into a bellicose and belligerent menace as it builds up its military forces.

Hainan is the HQ and base of the PLA Navy South Fleet which is the largest of the Navy's three fleets.

As of today and Nord Stream 2 Still Kaput, the Cherskiy is returning to its home waters of Kaliningrad after having lingered off the coast of Poland and Germany without arriving at the construction site.

The Fortuna remains moored motionless near Wismar, Germany, neither ship having even reached the construction site.

Mort.


The article that discusses the Nord Stream 2 Scam refers to December 2019 when US sanctions were first applied to shut down NS 2 Still Kaput and all of the Kremlin's fast footwork from then to now by which both Putin and Merkel have fallen on their face completely as of the December present, 2020.
