#2 Awww, where did my earlier Post go?

Wel-l-l, ION WAFF > PLA GENERAL LIANG [essentially = effec]TOLD US SECDEF GATES TO F *** OFF | CHINA SNUBS US DEFENSE PITCH, GATES VISIT IS OFF TO S *** START | GENERAL LIANG RULES OUT TIES WID US AS LONG AS TAIWAN ARMS SALES CONTINUES. US Arms Sales to Taiwan seen as SERIOUSLY DAMAGING TO CHINA'S "CORE INTERESTS".

* TOPIX > [English Dong-A] NORTH KOREA THREATENS NUCLEAR ATTACK/WAR [agz South Korea] FOR FIRST TIME IN EDITORIAL.

Second Korean War will be a NUKULAAR WAR.

* BHARAT RAKSHAK > MAURITIUS SUES BRITAIN FOR CONTROL OF CHAGOS ISLANDS [read, DIEGO GARCIA + US, UK Milbases on same].

* CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > RUSSIAN EXPERT'S OPINION | MASS PRODUCTION OF 5TH-GENERATION FIGHTER BY CHIN IS UNLIKELY, as Pert believes that China's new J-20 is a copy or composite for MAINLY NON-CHINESE FOREIGN TECHS,SYSTEMS + SUBSYS, that China will find difficult to unilater reverse-engineer + copy unto mass production.

IOW, THE J-20 WILL ALL BUT OBSOLETE? BY THE TIME CHINA GETS AROUND TO INDIGENOUS MASS PRODUCTION, circa 2020???

* SAME > US DEFENSE SECRETARY WARNS CHINA NOT TO UNDERESTIMATE US MILITARY POWER | US ECONOMIC DECLINE IS ONLY LIKE THE 1970's, SAYS SECDEF GATES IN VISIT TO CHINA.

[1970's DISCO + Fashions = DO THE DISCO DUCK AT THE CARWASH ON SATURDAY NIGHT/SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER here].

Gates says he personally went through a few economic periods like now, + US always pulled through stronger + better.

* SAME > MILITARY VS CLIMATE CHANGE: US + CHINA ARE WORLD APART [ China spends 2X the US in enviro-related CLEAN TECHS but only 1/6th of the US on defense].

ARTIC > SOURCE argues that even iff the US made deep cuts in its DOD Spending, its more likely than not ANY = MOST OF SUMS-CERTAIN will NOT go to ENVIRO = CLEAN TECHS, as ELECTION,RE-ELEX- MINDED US POLS WILL PRIORITIZE VOTER/CONSTITUENT JOBS OVER A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT.

#3 The US should just give them a few secretly, allow them to test one, and say it was home built and really put a shiver into the North and China.
