JL-2 SLBM Missile Details here.

Increasing our need for Missile defense still more.

We are just a frog in a frying pan, while China, North Korea, and Iran is manning the skillet.

"For China, nuclear weapons largely have four purposes: one, strategic deterrence; two, retaliation; three, counter-coercion; and four, great-power status,"

It seems to me, second strike missles are a good thing.

[Brilliant]

Thanks to Bill Clinton.




Say, whatever happened to that "Chinagate" investigation anyway? Of that's right.... There wasn't any.

[Paul Ross]

Ping.

Underestimation by Panda Huggers politically appointed in DOD...of Chinese nuclear threat capability confirmed yet again.

[cripplecreek]

And we're paying for the propane.

[Joe Brower]

Perhaps of interest.

[thoughtomator]

Why are these "second-strike" missiles unsuitable for a first strike?

[DoughtyOne]

I don't believe this report. Everyone knows our trade with China has changed it forever. We're save now!

[Tulsa Ramjet]

We are not only paying for for it, we are making it. and shipping it back in american dollars by buying their qualit products to pay for their government to gain second strike capability. Everyone is to blame. The consumer, the new "general contractor" corporations we have now, the politicians, and general apathy. And I heard the General Apathy is getting a promotion.

[in hoc signo vinces]

Oh for Christ sake...1. H-Rod will never be POTUS. 2. If china ever launched a nuke strike against us...that would be the end of China...they're be a lot of Friy Wryce..to go around.

If they want to spend money to build missiles, let'em (china)...as long as we build up our defensive capabilities as well as retarget, and improve, our existing arsenal to deal with China. Last couple of articles I read on our (U.S.) Defensive/Strategic posture...we're doing exactly that.

[Paul Ross]

Everyone knows our trade with China has changed it forever.

But not in a good way. Still communist. But now they have our technology.

[Mo1]

Why does China think we will attack them??

[aynrandfreak]

Insight has only a slightly better track record than Debka.

[ConservativeMan55]

bttt

[staytrue]

Second strike missles are better than "use them or lose them" first strike missles.

Of course they can be used as a first strike, but no one uses nukes if the other guy can hit you back. That means no one but the towel heads are going to nuke the US.

[zarf]

After the first exchange, who really cares?

[DoughtyOne]

Agreed

[observer5]

That's what they say:

"The capitalist will sell us the rope we will hang them with"

[LurkedLongEnough]

We're save now!

All our bases are belong to the China people.
