Russia is talking about China attacking America . . . and we are debating "pat-downs.' Good grief !!

The USA has been showing more concerns about China’s growing military threat against such a background. Experts of the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission stated in their report that the USA had lost the military predominance in the region. It was also said that China was already capable of destroying five of six US army bases in the Pacific Ocean.

In the nearest future, China will be able to significantly change the balance of forces in South-East Asia. The increased opportunities of Chinese missile and airborne troops are capable of hampering the operations conducted by US armed forces in the region. As a result, the movement of American troops in the region will be restricted, the experts said in their recent report. Chinese combat vessels have been showing more activity recently in the Yellow, South China and East China seas. . . . (note grammatical issues because of translation from Russian to English).

Editor's notes: while we are all focused on the idiot's crisis (the pat-down controversy), Pravada published the storyline above. You can read the full article here.

The title of this Russian article is this: China does not need Russian arms anymore to attack the USA.

And Obama thinks we have no enemies. China has doubled the size of its military over the course of the past decade; the interest paid to China to cover our debt relationship with that godless nation (and they are godless) pays for their military force. Russia is, also, increasing the size of their military machine, in spite of the proliferation agreement signed by Obama and the Russian president, whoever he is (we know the name but you get the point).

This Russian base article adds a degree of concern as congress considers ratification of the Start Treatise (the nuclear proliferation agreement referred to above). We are being told that the treatise is not all bad. Many past Republican congressmen see the treatise as a critical to the future of this country, but others see problems in the agreement. The primary concern has to do with missile defense.

Most have forgotten that Obama unilaterally abandoned established missile defense contracts with Georgia and Poland in the beginnings weeks of his administration. His reasoning is same tired thinking of the past: "if the US leads the way, the rest of the world will follow."

Nonsense.

This editor is 65 years old and has NEVER seen this strategy work. Carter tried it, Clinton tried it and now, the Novice thinks he can improve on this record of failed diplomacy.

There is simply no way the START treatise can be ratified during the Lame Duck session. From what information we can gather, it appears that more work in negotiations needs to be considered. Nothing wrong in taking our time as we move to consider this treatise.
