World oceans are enormous and not all countries are peaceful. A big country needs a naval reach to deter those countries that have evil intents. Diplomacy work better when you can back them up with some kind of coercions.

I believe the most we need is 4 CVBG to protect our seaward sovereignty, merchant fleets and ensure the safety our citizens aboard. No competitions, no fanfares.

No I didn't imply the Vietnamese economy is going to collapse, however, the government has to handle Mr Kien case carefully as to avoid investors' and depositors' confidences. Without foreign capital inflows, especially in this down turn period, the world economy is going to drag Vietnam down...

Corruptions by government officials are the biggest hindrances for a country in term of economical and social developments. China has been taking drastic actions to stem out such behaviors in the last few years and those efforts are continuing and I hope India can do the same, if not more.

The arrest this week of Vietnamese banking and soccer mogul Nguyen Duc Kien comes amid a growing backlash against Vietnam's wealthy tycoons, as the country struggles with an economy that is going from bad to worse. Some of Vietnam's Communist leaders have never been entirely comfortable with...

Please don't open that old wound, I have a weak heart and can not bear to be reminded constantly. BTW the Supreme Court took the presidency from Gore and awarded it to Bush. What a costly decision, 16 trillions dollars and counting.

So PDF is listed 45th. That's exceptional good for a country of close to 200 million people. My congratulations to PDF and we'll work hard to help you climb the ladders of ranking.

Coward mentality? You think my list is easy to achieve in this troublesome modern world? We need 4 CVBG and around 15 years to reach that goal and by then we pretty much have our Pax Sinica, as anarcy99 calls it, in this side of Pacific. Anything more that puts a heavy burden in our economy.

There's nowhere I mentioned that China should isolated herself and in fact I think China should step up further into the international arena as her economy improved. With the potential to be the biggest consumer market in the world other nations will court her like a prom queen so the opposite...

China's Naval capabilities should only limited to: 1) Protect our sovereignty from seaward incursions and invasions. 2) Protect our commercial sea lanes and assets. 3) Protect and evacuate our nationals in foreign countries after diplomacy failed. All preparations of naval hardware and...

@timetravel I think you can win the 'best troll' award hands down if there's one given.:tup:

Tibetan Prime Minister-in-Exile Lobsang Sangay today expressed hopethat the Tibetan people's aspirations will bear fruit and the Dalai Lama will return to Lhasa during his lifetime. Really? I wonder the future leader of this 'exile group' has lost his marbles already.

Unlikely. The Mayor, the Police Commissioner, the Department and the media will make both them national heroes. "Brave cops risk their lives to save hundreds of people from being kill!'' sounds like good secondary headlines.

1010WINS, the number one news station in America, gave out erroneous information a little too quick by repeating over and over about ten times that the company the shooter, Jeffrey Johnson, worked for as Shanghai Tianjin Import Export Co. The company actually is Hazan Import, a shoes and lady's...

Yes, there are quite a few. Are you baiting me?
