I’ll try, but at first I didn’t get further than the first sentence. Russian T-14 Armata is what is supposed to make the reader kneel in fear! A joke that writes itself (because they have only 14 of these T-14s). Well, wikipedia says they have ‘20+’.
That’s awesome. I lurve me some Fred Reed, have read several of his books.
I know that.

>Yes, he is. Hes also still obsessed with neocons and Israel.
I’m quite obsessed with neo-cons, who btw are all working for Hillary these days. The Neo-cons are quite convinced that A) a war against Russia is needed to put them in their place and B) the war will not go Nuclear. I see them as the greatest threat to this country.
>The same danger exists incidentally with regard to a war with China in the South China Sea. The American Navy hasnt fought a war in seventy years. It doesnt know how well its armament works. The Chinese, who are not fools, have invested in weaponry specifically designed to defeat carrier battle groups. A carrier in smoking ruins would force Washington to start a wider war to save face, with unpredictable results. Can you name one American, other than the elites, who has anything to gain from war with China?
I think he’s quite wrong here. With China’s quality control issues I think we’d make short work of their navy and air force. And frankly stopping china from owning Asia is worth doing.
