I was so relieved to learn that little George prayed about Iraq and the lord told him….’yeah do it’.

LOL, just like those who piloted those planes.

Question: Can Taiwan realistically be protected from ultimate seizure by China? If you admit that China will ultimately absorb Taiwan, should the United States commit blood and treasure to protecting it?

Somehow I missed this post before. That would be quite a large project for China to take on, but perhaps they could afford to “buy…[Read more]

Hypersonic offensive and defensive weaponry’s been in the making for years now, so this is not as surprising to experts as the article implies (even in the headline). I saw a few errors in the flashy drawing, but the threat of these new weapons is nevertheless real. The most reliable mode of defense has to be space based and/or laser/particle…[Read more]

What we ought to be spending money on is on helping India develop into a power rivaling China. It has a larger population, more competent scientists, and is positioned to be a superpower that can balance and restrain China from its goal of dominating Asia.

Jake…the British occupied of the Levant was imposed on Palestine, they were not welcomes with open arms and would have happily had their own state after centuries of foreign rule by other powers. Or did you think that Palestine invited a massive migration of people from another continent and then suddenly changed their minds?

I am not picking a…[Read more]

Rest assured, it wasn’t my intention to derail Unseen’s thread on Taiwan.

I think it’s ok to go off-topic if it’s ok with the topic’s creator. I probably would have let an off-topic comment or two stay, but it grew into more posts even after Unseen asked to keep the topic on Taiwan… plus I agree that Israel’s worthy of…[Read more]

No it doesn’t Jake. Replace the Tib etans with native Americans. Imagine the Chinese withdrew from an improveished Connecticut and armed and funded native Americans, , invited millions of native Americans to join the few natives who still live in Connecticut, and when inevitably tensions arose amid a massive influx of uninvited migrants amongst…[Read more]

So yeah, Imagine somehow China managed to occupy the United States. And when it pulled out, it also decided to compensate the Uyghurs and Tibetans which the Chinese had persecuted, by letting them have a homeland in the United States. So, specifically, through funding and political pressure by China, they take the state that YOU personally live…[Read more]

I think the possibility of war over Taiwan is about as important a topic as there is and Pope Beanie actually started such a thread, maybe in response to my plea.

Yes, but I neglected to make a new post here that links to where I moved those posts.

Jake, I do not know a place on Earth that would welcome an influx of immigrants which would come to double their population, all imposed by a foreign power who funds and arms these immigrants who rapidly change the face of society, forcing people to give up their lands and homes and make concession after concession. Somehow, this is pretty much an…[Read more]

The main thing that makes Israel such a great nation is that it has the dynamic culture and free institutions to make change for the better possible.

With the sole exception of “gay marriage”, I could say the very same thing about Turkey and Lebanon. They both have dynamic culture and they both have free institutions to make change for the better…[Read more]
