I never made a comment on this, but I think I will now.

I do not agree with this "low probability," because it is "zero probability."

Posturing, is just like posturing.

What do Korea and Japan have to gain in a war with China. Will the Americans abandon them when the going gets tough just like the South Vietnamese.

This is not a serious question in my view.

This expression from people who date, like boy and girl going out on a date, kind of sums it up.

Flirting, is not a commitment.

Every girl knows that.

Guys being guys, well, you know how we are.

What did the Nazi Germany have to gain by going 1 v 3 against 3 superpowers each individually stronger than it?

"But we're different". Hear that before?

It's clear that America is hellbent on trying to create provocative conditions as that's the current American strategy is to paint themselves and their allies as the "GOOD GUYS" and China as the "BAD GUY" because that's how quixotic and messianic those people/cultural affinity are. And if China were to take the bait of whipping the bejeesus out of the non-existent PH navy, then America would have managed to accomplishing their tasks in painting China as the cancer that must be stopped, if not destroyed.

As I said, I am against violence in SCS. But an actual forced entry to a PRC-held feature would stain China's credibility. I believe defending the features is a good red line particularly because the Philippines has no legal sovereignty on them. I don't think the Philippines will try that but if they do, I think China should use military force.

Cyberattacks hit military, Parliament websites as India-based group targets Canada​

The federal government is coping with cyberattacks this week and a hacker group in India claims it has caused chaos in Ottawa — but Canada's signals-intelligence agency says the "nuisance" attacks likely haven't put private information at risk.

The attacks seem to have hit institutions controlled by the government, but not the core infrastructure from which federal departments and agencies operate.

The Canadian Armed Forces says that its website became unavailable to mobile users midday Wednesday, but was fixed within a few hours.

The military says the site is separate from other government sites, such as the one used by the Department of Defence and internal military networks. The incident remains under investigation.

Modi didn't send HAL Tejas but sent cyber warriors instead



I wonder where did the Canadian Armed Forces buy the gift cards to get the Indian Hackers to stop the attacks?

No matter what China does it will be accused as aggressive and actions will be taken against China by the west. Whether its more defense spending, more alliance building, more sanctions/bans. This also gives countries like Phillipines and India complete freedom to be extremely aggressive as well. This is the trend of the world.

Sadly next 30-40 years will be full of challenges, fights and tensions for China. And rising without Fighting a war and also not losing more land and getting humiliated will be tough.


The only way to respond is to increase Chinese support and influence for western adverseries such as Russia, Turkey, Brazil, Mexico (Yes!), literally any large non-white country that is a neighbour of the west and has nationalistic physche will be a future western adversary and can be supported by China. Nationalism will give rise to a desire to promote their own uniqueness and desire for more influence and power. That means they will reject western subordination. China just needs to help them rise.

Sir a map of Scarborough shoal, there is only one entrance inside the shoal, the Chinese CCG always maintain a ship inside and one at the mouth of the lagoon. so there is no way for the Philippine CG to enter unless they blew up those ship and provoke a war. These noises are being raise to gather public support as constant use of China threat had lessen their value, it was always a recurring theme and we are sick of it.

And if you see the map, the entrance was dredge so that a ship can be moored inside, Its a rich fishing ground and Chinese CG are there to protect it from overfishing...lol

The solution to this is very simple. Filipinos won't be able to enter the shoal if it is an island.

Especially an island with anti-ship missiles and detachment of Chinese Marines.

A learning moment for the Western journalist:

Who do they think they are fooling? Just listen to what Kishore Mahbubani says in the above clip.

Yes, it's the Berlin wall vibe. The only difference is that America's neocons behave like East Germany's communist bureaucrats this time.

This should be expected especially on railway as the products coming from Russia will be either in pipes or not using regular containers.
Russia is expected for largest supplier of helium and LNG trucks already trialed across the bridge.

Gazprom delivered the first batch of liquefied natural gas to Chinese consumers by road across the Blagoveshchensk - Heihe bridge . In this way, the state-owned company’s hub is preparing the infrastructure for stable sales of LNG and the implementation of other projects. Details are in the material of the Vostok.Today news agency.
