    China’s New Carrier Shows Beijing Is Done Playing Defense

    China’s New Carrier Shows Beijing Is Done Playing Defense

    Foreign Policy Mag argues that China's new aircraft carrier shows that Beijing is shifting toward offense rather than defense. I think that is premature. As I have said before, it will take one or two generations of experience with carriers to develop the sailors and officers needed to properly use them.

    No. It won't.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    This is why we cannot cut Military funding like so many drool for us to do.

    I hate war and truly wish there could never be another. As long as DEMOCRAT and REPUBLICANS keep sending our youth into combat then WE ALL have to pay for it and stfu until they stop sending our youth into war.

    It will be the same with the Chinese in the China Seas.

    Okay. This ramble was kinda goofy.

    Patton lacked the tools and technologies to defeat Hitler until well into the war. The Germans developed the war-winning technologies. We didn't.
