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.

[Joe Brower]

Perhaps of interest.

[DoughtyOne]

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

[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.

Why does China think we will attack them??

[Abd al-Rahiim]

I don't think China and the U.S. will have any armed confrontation. To my knowledge, China has never supported the U.S. in international affairs as much as the U.K. has (to give an example), but that doesn't mean that China is "against" the U.S. by any means.

[Centurion2000]

He said the first Type 94 submarine ballistic nuclear missile has been equipped and launched.

And will be shadowed at ALL times with a neat little SSN from our side ready to send it to the bottom if he hears launch prep.

[Arkinsaw]

I believe that the Chinese are copying are strategies during the Cold War against us. They may believe that they are the up and coming economic power and can outbuild, outgun, and out-quantity the United States in the long run until our economy cannot compete with them and we end up retrenching like the USSR did.

It wasn't a bad strategy then, and probably not a bad strategy now.

[FFIGHTER]

While China has been devoting massive resources to equip, upgrade and provide the necessary resources to their military to compete if not move ahead of the U.S. The U.S. has stifled defense budgets, ransacked defense programs, targeted military spending cuts, and has sought actively to undermine our military at every level.

[caver]

I'd say any missles left after the first strike can be considered second strike. Is this anything new?

[bobdsmith]

What I don't get is you never hear any tests of these missiles. How can you know a 13,000km range missile actually works unless you test fire a couple 13,000kms?

[Quix]

DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING!!!!

ANYONE NOT a traitor and awake in DC?

[Finalapproach29er]

Bush's friends.

Our nation is sound asleep.

[Lancer_N3502A]

awe $hit bumb.

[taxed2death]

Who CARES!!!!!!

As long as I get cheap Commie crap at walmart!


I'm soooooooooooooo glad they have most favored nation trading status!

"Free trade" rules!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :)

[danmar]

Sir, do you realize that our economy grew upward of 1.3T in the passed 36 Months for which it is equal to the entire Chinese GDP?
And do you really want me to believe that the Chinese will be conquering us? Under what circumstances and scenarios if you would detail?

Donning the tinfoil hat awaiting response....
