 Posted: 02:13 - 03 Oct 2008 Post subject: US urged to bolster missile, space defenses against China: |
 |
|
yes this is copied and pasted,no it did"t take me much time to do,but as i said a few weeks ago "who's next to be seen as a threat,china?"
this is the first step towards building up china as a major "threat" to the Usa/west,along with Russia and Pakistan,who are the key players in the planned war we are in for.
A draft report recommends that the United States build new missile, sea-based and space-based defenses to deal with China’s growing nuclear and conventional forces, a newspaper said Wednesday.
The draft by a State Department advisory board said China aims to build forces that are not just capable of retaking Taiwan but also of projecting power beyond east Asia, The Washington Times reported.
China’s “major objective is to counter US presence and US military capabilities in East Asia through the acquisition of offensive capacities in critical functional areas that systematically exploit US vulnerabilities,” it quoted the report as saying.
China is developing capabilities for “asymmetric warfare,” such as space and computer weapons, that could help it defeat stronger US armed forces, according to a copy of the draft the daily said it had obtained.
The report warned of gaps in US missile defenses, dependence on space for communications, reliance on aircraft carriers to project power to China’s shores, and “fragile electronics and the Internet,” the newspaper said.
The draft recommends that the United States obtain new offensive space and cyber warfare capabilities and missile defenses as well as “more robust sea- and space-based capabilities” to deter any crisis over Taiwan, the daily said.
The ISAB report said China was headed for expansion after centuries as a regional power.
“In China’s view, Taiwan is the key to breakout: If China is to become a global power, the first step must include control of this island,” the report was quoted as saying.
Once it controls the island of Taiwan, China would then be able to control the neighboring seas and to project power eastward, according to the report.
The draft by the Secretary of State’s International Security Advisory Board (ISAB) is significant, it added, because US government and private-sector analyses have until now not seen China as a US security challenge.
The Washington Times said the report has not been officially released, but could be released in a few weeks.

of course this "really shows how dumb i am" as was pointed out last time i said America will see china as a threat..but hey its not been officially released yet so for the time being i guess im still dumb,along with any one who has not yet come to notice America is viewing every one as a threat and are really going to fuck this world up if left to there own devices. |

Who cares when America's superpower status is receeding as we speak?

Erm you do realise that China has already won right? ,
All the production facilities and much of the technical know how has already moved east..
Stockbrokers and bankers shorting THEIR OWN companies are just being complicit in this.....
Its rather more interdependent however....
But as said its ridiculous there isn't any need for military action they just need to sit and wait, Taiwan's economic power is being eaten away by the mainland.
Even in a conventional non nuclear war western powers would probably be defeated anyway...
Sure western stuff is alot more high tech and advanced but history has taught us that numbers can defeat superior weapons , the T34 was vastly inferior to the King tiger, the Sherman was vastly inferior to the panzers...
Its just that you need to reach a tipping point where numbers become overwhelming ie if the Somme had 25 million strong infantry rush the war would have been over. China has 900 million expenable people.... which were in preparation for a wa with the USSR.
However I don't believe it will happen as all of a sudden the leaders and wealthy elite of China have far too much to lose if they decide to grab nations..... while they can sit and wait ____________________ Spain 2008France 2007Big one 2009 We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will. In the end, your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching. |

Hi
They couldn't afford a national draft (military pensions alone would be hideous, it is only a few years ago that the last recipient of a pension from the American Civil War died), nor could they make use of a large, poorly trained and poorly motivated military like that. Might be useful for home defence, but they do not have the resources to ship massive numbers to other theatres (and nor do the Chinese).
All the best

hope your correct Keith.. if it gets to that stage they would"t be paying wages .
they want a million strong home brigade as funded as the army and all fully armed policing the American streets as well...seems very far fetched..time will show. |

"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded." (emphasis added)
The immediate context for that amazing statement was a preview of parts of his plan to vastly expand community service opportunities for Americans of nearly all ages. He said,
"People of all ages, stations, and skills will be asked to serve."
The range of his community service initiatives was outlined in an earlier American Thinker article. In his campaign document entitled "The Blueprint for Change: Barack Obama's Plan For America," Obama's "Service" section runs a close second to "Education" in complexity. But, with his Colorado Springs' statement, it grabbed first place in its projected costs to taxpayers. Obama did the cost projection himself.
He plans to double the Peace Corps' budget by 2011, and expand AmeriCorps, USA Freedom Corps, VISTA, YouthBuild Program, and the Senior Corps. Plus, he proposes to form a Classroom Corps, Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, Veterans Corps, Homeland Security Corps, Global Energy Corps, and a Green Jobs Corps. Here a corps - there a corps - everywhere a corps corps.
The U.S. Army alone has nearly 500,000 troops. That doesn’t count reserves or National Guard. In 2007, the U.S. Defense budget was $439 billion.
Is Obama serious about creating some kind of domestic security force bigger and more expensive than that?[/quote] |
