#8  Losing in Afghanistan/losing to Afghanistan has consequences.

Sorry spectacles like this may make sense in Afghanistan, but they're being watched by a global audience.

The US suffered and a massive attack on her own territory and responded weakly and feebly. Why should anyone expect US action over unpopulated rocks in a far away sea.

The awful truth is that rational adversaries have very good reason not to fear the US and the West anymore.

#7  The Chinese sense the favorable climate which has been created in Washington in the last few years. They are getting frisky. The Russians are also getting frisky.

#6  Our soldiers are still excellent and could easily kick the crap out of the Chinese soldier.

Our leadership however is not worth anything.

#4  You know there was a reason they joined the armistice in Korea. Regardless of all the propaganda, they did feel the losses to the strategy Ridgway implemented along the fighting line coupled with the interdiction campaign. This is lower primate territorial posturing with making big sounds to scare an opponent and build up one's own confidence before doing something stupid.
