#2 ION TOPIX > [IRDW.org] CHINA SELLS HELICOPTER GUNSHIPS TO UWSA [United Wa Sachin Army], seemingly in defiance to Myanmar's Govt.

The helo gunships may prove to be a decisive "game-changer" between the UWSA's fight wid the Govt. + other Militant factions.

VERSUS

* TOPIX > JONATHAN MANTHORPE: CHINA RISKS WAR AS IT AS IT PUSHES TERRITORIAL CLAIMS ON THREE CLAIMS.

ARTIC = denotes that China is prepared to risk de facto military confrontation + conflcit.

I've said before that any US-China mil conflict can poten blow open all of East-South Asia + Pacific as China may attempt to forcibly settle its "strategic access" + territorial issues in various regions = fronts.

* STRATEGYPAGE > CHINA'S "OCCUPY AND DEFY".

China's aggressive tactics, espec as per disputed territories claimed by other sovereign nations, is forcing its neighbors to reconsider defense or security plans.

Ditto Rising Iran, from Syria-Lebanon to Azerbaijan to Afghanistan + the C.A.R???

#3 Normally, I am opposed to ethnic or racial violence but in this case, the seasoning of turn about fair play does make this stew in BURMA a bit more appetizing.

#4 The helo gunships may prove to be a decisive "game-changer" between the UWSA's fight wid the Govt. + other Militant factions.

I understand that flying and landing helicopters without crashing into the ground is hard, JosephM, as is maintaining the things to prevent crashing into the ground once facility is achieved. What odds do you give the USWA?
