#2  Not unlike the welfarist Govts-States of the Cold War NATO, now NATO-EU, the post-WOT, will OWG America = Amerika [POST-2050 HISPANIC? AMERICA] similarly depend on Rising China's PLA, + now IRAN!???

To wit,

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > IRANB TO SEND SUBMARINES TO INTERNATIONAL WATERS. Russian ex-Kilo-class = Iran "Younes"-class subs on 90-day missions in the Atlantic.

* SAME, WND > [Reza]KAHLILI: IRAN'S MISSLES COULD SOON REACH US SHORES | MULLAHS' NAVY EQUIPS SHIPS FOR ATTACK FROM ATLANTIC.

[HEZBOLLAH, MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD,, IRGC in Mexico + Central-South Americas here].

* SAME > US REVIEW FINDS IRAQ IS DEADLIER THAN YEAR BEFORE. US Special Inspector-General
for Iraq Reconstruction STUART BOWEN, JR.

* CHINA DAILY FORUMS > RUSSIA DOWNS US ICBM [Minuteman III test] WID EMP AFTER NORWAY, OBAMA SECRETS RELEASED IN RETALIATION FOR US TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED AGZ 60 RUSSIAN DIPLOMATS FOR ALLEGED INVOLMENT OR LINKS TO 2009 KILLING.

* BHARAT RAKSHAK > DON'T GET IT TWISTED: WE ALREADY AT [Active]WAR AGZ IRAN.

ARTIC > US already ina state of "Active War" aka LOW-INTENSITY, MOSTLY INDIRECT OR PROXY "SIEGE WARFARE/CAMPAIGN" [Wikipedia definition] AGZTHE SOVEREIGN ISLAMIST GOVT-STATE OF IRAN, where the US hopes that Iran will self-implode or otherwise be reduced via US-led steady, covert = creeping forms of Attrition + Obstruction, etc. WIDOUT ANY NEED FOR THE US TO MILITARILY ATTACK OR INVADE, OCCUPY IRAN.

* SAME > VITENAM, INDIA TO BOOST NAVAL TIES TO COUNTER CHINA, in South China Seas via procession of bilateral Indo-Viet venture to base Indian Navy warships at NHA THRANG PORT in Vietnam.

* PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > PHILIPPINE NAVY CONTRUCTS [2nd] "STARSHELL" COMPLEX ON NANSHA ISLAND [Phil "PATAG" = Chinese "FEIXIN" Island].

The PHIL will also repair + modernize AFP PAF Airfield on PHIL "PAG-AGSA" = CHIN "ZHONGYE" ISLAND for utility by C130's + other LARGE CIVILIAN AIRCRAFT.

#1  "For the first time in decades, the leaders of the nationÂ’s armed forces are standing up and standing together to warn that massive cuts in defense spending will break the force"

Silly leaders. 'Breakage' is by design.
