Pentagon increasingly unsettled by China buildup
Taken from: http://www.east-asia-intel.com/eai/
"Pentagon officials are still talking about a recently released report on Chinese military power that highlighted worrisome developments. Officials said Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld's June 4 speech in Singapore laid out key concerns of Pentagon and military planners. Rumsfeld said China is secretly building up its forces without having any threats, an indication it has offensive designs. He also said China is rapidly building up its missile forces. The U.S. is also closely watching Chinese submarine programs. "
From what I have been reading lately both sides, America and China, have affirmed that they will not use a Nuke unless the other side does first. So if China invades Taiwan and we defend Taiwan, and an all out war breaks out between US and China, Would we really fight a conventional war and not use Nukes to bring a swift end to the battle?
Something is brewing in China, and I hope that we are ready for it. I wonder if an all out war breaks out, and China gets it's arch kicked by US Subs (Which are the most advanced subs in the world.) Will they use nukes to avoid a land invasion? Or will they "Nuke First" to preserve their nation.
We are doing so much Business with China these days I can't Image they would want to knock out their biggest customer. Hopefully this will just lead to a good cold war and we will beat them with our economy.

My only objection to your post is the use of the word "arch". I happen to know that you really meant to say "arse", which is really just a euhpemism for ass.
If you didn't want to say ass, you shouldn't have said 'arse'.
I understand the need to tone down things if you are say, a mormon missionary and everyone expects you to use substitute swear words, or perhaps you're talking to some kids and their parents are watching... (they'll use the real swear words behind your back anyway)
But I don't understand why you would use arse where there's no real need to mask the word you really want to say. Perhaps you can use this little rant as a starting point for a new post.

By the way, this is why Star Wars programs are so necessary. Russia is not the only country that could use nukes against us.

The reality is I don't swear. Not even in my mind. When I read swear words I only pronounce the fist letter in my head.
I did however mean "arse"
