I have been watching some barely reported events by China and Russia agreeing to cooperate militarily.  And here is China's puppet - Kim Jung Un sitting over there crazy and with nukes  

So today, CNN reported that China could easily overwhelm the U.S in the Pacific region with manpower alone, and that if they and Russia combined miitary forces and beat the U.S.  One fact that hasn't been reported much is that China has devoted a significant amount of time and money into modernizing their military - they now have stealth fighters too.  Part of it is that there students come here, work on classified military projects in grad school, and then take that knowledge back to China.  Also, some of our more (un) reliable allies, have turned advanced techology over to China, which aided them sigificantly.  And of course, the Russians never had stopped trying to improve their military technology - it is rumored that one of the reasons that they want to get Ukraine back is because they have some very smart scientists.  

There are reasons we are skirting the edge with what kind of "defensive" weapons we are selling to Taiwan.  Although we don't acknowledge them (to appease China) and we are only supposed to sell them defensive weapons, I see us pushing the envelope.  

China and Russia will challenge the U.S. Military superiority - in the beginning it will just be small things, but it is coming and when it does, it will be in a major way.   My prediction.

I think the time has come for Japan to seriously consider nuclear weapons.

China has used our money and our stolen technology to modernize their military.  Otherwise you are spot on.  Meanwhile Democrats are falling all over themselves to give away free stuff for votes and finding racism in every corner.  This is one among many reasons why they should not be given power.

Yes, but an ally also helped them.  I can't discuss it any further but they did and it gave them a lot of help.
