Are they censoring Yahoo like they do Google? I got a 404 error when accessing that link.

Ive seen plenty of big bastard PLA here i wouldn't f*** with.
To be fair it was bit of shock, I thought all Chinese were scrawny good for nothing.

I also see pictures every day of American soldiers who look like they should be still at school and look like nerds and often think wft f*** they doing in battle.
If I was going to toss a coin to see who could take more sht I would put my money on the PLA soldiers because they ain't thinking about there cozy little life back home and got less to loose.

I actually used to live inside a PLA compound.

I wasn't supposed to, but the divorced wife of a PLA officer rented her apartment to me. After some difficulties they let me stay.

Anyway, every morning I'd watch those guys marching.

Seriously, it was like the Keystone Cops.

They'd bump into each other, turn the wrong way, drop their rifle.

I've seen better/more fearsome cheerleading squads.

America has better bullets!
China has more soldiers than the number of bullets America have.

Emm..

I bet on America as I believe their bullet is very very well made and can kill more than one soldier each time....lol....

Seriously, a war between America and China is unimaginable !!

Face it America been pissing about for past few years with 4th rate countries and thats like dragging on beyond belief,with there technological hardware, fancy marching and the rest of it.
Plenty of other countries involved there as well.
The only way they can take China down is doing what there doing now, try to cause China to implode politically by constantly hammering the propaganda.

Probably no problem, most of their important stuff is cased in Faraday cages(EMP can't penetrate)as standard. The internet doesn't go anywhere near it, that's certain... so cyberwarfare remains in the news to remind readers where the threat is, that's why the Americans keep shouting "we've been hacked, we've been hacked" but the Chinese don't...

The systems are 'redundant'.

Thats why the Chinese general wants to build the army up and the US will do anything to prevent that.

I was just checking the defense spending budgets
http://www.globalfirepower.com/defense-spending-budget.asp
and surprised to see the UK up there.Just below China.

Look at Israel defense budget, way down the list, now you would think they would way up there from what you hear on TV, they actually got people on there doorstep.
Thats list is either screwed or there some serious misspending going on.

Pretty interesting stats-Thanks for the link Mr Tang.

So America spent about 500 billion in 2008 on the military.
China lent them 700 billion in 2009

Funny old world in'it

It also means if China stops putting its money there US ain't got the funds for its Military Budget.
No Budget no Army.

Oh yea and it means they got all this spare money for there own Miitary budget to blow!

So they had some wolly mits on when they was in V-nam.
That will be why there arse was handed to them then.

Before getting into war strategies and tactics it should be noted that war is a lose-lose proposition, the idea is that I can effort losing and outlast you longer than you can. The threat of war as a negotiating style is often used (cold war) but the actual war between China and the US is…just for kids to play and act. Russia will definitely be a deterring factor for the US to start a war with China.

The real danger is the momentum building for the PLA supported by the harliners to overthrow the current leadership in China. This can happen if the US pushes China too hard with trade creating massive job layouts.

The good colonel is indeed working to market the US defense contractors’ products without getting paid for his efforts. Exaggerating the military capability of the opposition and the hostile mind set of a country is what the US defense and oil industries have used over and over again to increase their sales and gross profit margins.

China cannot fight like Ben Ladden, the Taliban or the insurgents in Iraq. The good colonel does not have the experience in waging a proxy war sending supplies to the Taliban through Pakistan. And this can open another can of warms with India that US can use to explore.

So the current Chinese leaders are plying it just right for now and the colonel is getting a “good boy” pad on the back to continue teach at the military academy.

The mind is the most powerful weapon to use.

Just a little tiny country with population less than any major city in China is fighting back like hell with no victory in sight for the most powerful countries with all their sophisticated machines, technologies and well trained professional solders combined.

And please don’t tell me that’s because we are nice and they are not! We have resorted to everything that our killing machine could muster. We captured and handcuffed hundreds of so called combatants in a desert, and when our CIA people started to questioning the prisoners fought back with their hands tight. The CIA interrogators then run away and called out for the BIG bomb to be dropped on them, I guess to also destroy the evidence of their work. We tortured prisoners even though we knew they had nothing to do with the war, forced them to raped each other in prison….PLEASE…it just makes me SICK.

Many of our brave solders resigned instead of participating and they were the ones that were punished instead of the people who were committing these crimes.

This is what the good colonel should take note, study and prepare before starting the drums for war. A false national pride is not enough to fight a war. What are you going to fight for (the objectives) and what are the plans after the war?

But the good news is that China does not war and no one is taking notes about the colonel’s view point but here on TBJ.

There are many books written in just America alone by all kinds of people that birds, animals and insects planning to attacking and take over the world.

There are many other books about North Korea, Israel, Japan, Russia, China…as well as aliens from another planet planning to attack America.

The colonel’s book belongs to these categories. But a book about the falling of the American empire and what China should do to replace the vacuum would have been more realistic.

There are much more hits on the following link than the good colonel’s book LOL.
