With a defense budget of about 1% of GDP, Canada is in fact one of the worst. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-defence-spending-1.3664272

Unless Trump wins, then it'll be an issue!

Why the heck would a war be looming? SEA is clearly moving away from the tumultuous aftermath of the end of the colonial era, everyone's focus is on making money now.

This is the Chinese DEFENSE forum.... If you want info on civilian items go to the "China and Far East" forum.

It's not just nutrition, U.S. livestock are pumped full of antibiotics and hormones.

From the air, sure, but portable weapons and IEDs are not gonna make a difference in large scale warfare. They're good for picking off an odd tank here and there, but they're not gonna stop a tank formation from overrunning your position. All measures have countermeasures, tanks are't...

What prevents China from accessing the Pacific isn't the Filipinos per se, but the Americans on Filipino soil and in Filipino waters. Duterte can give the Chinese direct access to the Pacific by kicking the Americans out of the Philippines.

It's surviving better than Libya, and Vietnam's thriving these days despite all the "help" rendered by the Americans in the '70s and before.

Well, I agree with your approach, though not your reasoning. Yes, you should eat healthy, exercise, and avoid pharma drugs as much as possible. For example, my girlfriend just came down with a fever, the doctor at her employee health center prescribed her penicillin. She's not gonna be taking...

That says nothing about GM food. I work as a doctor in the U.S., I know exactly the amount of healthcare misconceptions out there. A good 20-30% of the patients in my practice decline the flu shot, because apparently getting the dead viral particles give them the flu, and there's nothing you...

There are some concerns about GM foods, but safety to human beings isn't one of them. There's simply no scientific evidence suggesting that GM foods is dangerous to humans. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense. Our bodies don't absorb whole DNAs, they break them down and make use of...

I think what's even more impressive here than making safe batteries which seems to be something only Samsung can't do is that ATL can ramp up production and supply millions of batteries at a moment's notice. The ability to scale in China is just incredible.

It'll be the pupil's choice, and East Asians and really people in general are very practical despite all the nationalistic rhetoric. Chinese will catch on there because it's likely to be useful, just like how the Chinese bought so many Japanese goods before they could produce them themselves...

Nothing comes without cost. No sane person will say he wants less freedom, but at what cost? Take the freedom to possess weapons for example, knives are OK, guns are debatable, and nukes are strictly forbidden. Intellectual things are not universal because they're not necessary for survival...

A lot of words to state a very simple concept, that form determines function, no? If the J-20 and the Mig 1.44 were designed to serve similar functions, wouldn't it make sense that they would have similar form? Why does the J-20 have to originate from the Mig 1.44 instead of simply convergent...

Yes, an aircraft is very complex, so how much of the very complex MiG 1.44 do you about, and how much of the even more complex J20 do you know about? How can you say one is derived from the other if all you have are some exterior pictures?

To be fair, I can't imagine it'd be easy to bypass the biggest trading nation in the world.

Good article. There's nothing that can't be maneuvered around, where there's a will there's a way.

I've pronounced many dead in the hospital, pretty sure that's the right term!

Certainly not JD Power lol. I didn't even know they rated TVs. I go to tech forums, read a ton of reviews from various sites. For me, I got a 55 inch P-series, and the reason I chose it is because: 1) Price: $700 for a 55inch 4K TV. 2) HDMI 2.0 capable of displaying 4K@60Hz and 1080p@120Hz...
