I always thought North Korea is China's guard dog and China has a strong leash on this dog, but now I just don't know about that. China so far has seem powerless.

I think North Korea is expendable to China. The closer than teeth and gums days are gone :D how much trade do you think China does with U.S,South Korea, and Japan?? and compare that to North Korea China kills U.S in trade. https://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c5700.html $-350 billion...

http://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Why-Is-China-Funding-Unsustainable-Coal-Projects-In-Pakistan.html why is China building sub-critical and not ultra-supercritical coal fired plants??

you can PREPARE, but why not use systems that are proven and cost effective?? I'm not saying the military should stop funding R&D and lose the edge. we aren't fighting wars to win.

1. I dunno know?? has anyone genuinely tried to buy off a terrorist group, lmao. you buy off the leader, and they can control the masses 2. I didn't think so. 3. you can't kill them all, but you kill most of them and the people that harbor them you would have to have a cold heart and not care...

"Why not just get a Cessna and armed with 2 machine gun and strafe??" Cessna works as well, pretty much any COIN aircraft would be better than using a $120 million dollar stealth fighter. "Why do you even need Bronco? " because it's the battle tested COIN aircraft o_O "You can never expect...

"so what is your solution" 1) buy the houthis off. if you got money for a expensive war you got money to bribe them 2) relocate them to Iran and pay them 3) kill all the houthis if those 3 don't happen. you are going to have a 100 years of strife.

why buy a $120 million dollar F-35 and drop a $50,000 bomb to kill a few rats when you can use a OV-10 bronco armed with a M-197 chain gun and guided 70MM rockets?? it's called greed my friend greed and stupidity. F-35 is good if you are going to fight let's say Russia,China, and Iran but...

you do know what an insurgency is right? but if you don't mind throwing money into the pit hole and don't care about thousands of people getting blown up and killed every year.......then you win.

I don't even think the U.S even cares for the Persian Gulf anymore, tbh. we get less and less oil from the Middle East. Let China use it's soft and hard power to protect the GCC and that oh so beautiful and vital black gold. we are getting less and less oil from the Middle East thanks to Canada...

I appreciate you taking the time to inform me of the reality of the situation, but........you know I know everyone else knows that it doesn't end well for KSA. like I said you didn't learn from the mistake we made of invading and occupying Afganistan and Iraq. you think invading and putting in...

I get where you are coming from, but Russia tech is catching up with U.S tech is all I'm saying man. would I rather be in a M1 Abrams when a ATGM hits or a T-72B3?? the latter which if you hit the side or rear it's defiantly going to blow up, lmao.

just look at the Houthis I wouldn't be bragging about controlling 85% of the country after only two years. you're falling for the same trap we did in Afghanistan and Iraq. is Turkey and Pakistan enemies of Iran??

look at the Yemen war. you can't even beat 80lb goat herders, lmao!!! and you believe Iran would be a pushover?? the Iran that actually has experience in a major war in the 80's. come on you can't be this prideful. without the U.S 5th fleet and it's support......Iran has the ability to shut...

you do know the current pipelines can only carry so much oil right?? and as for the GCC combined fleet....before the Yemen war I might of said yeah GCC would whip Iran, but after Yemen.........lol.........paper tiger. Iran Navy and Air Force would destroy the GCC fleet.

so you are saying most of the oil doesn't ship through the strait of hormuz on oil tankers O.o and that if Iran Navy blocked it, you would go on like nothing happened LMAO

U.S doesn't defend KSA?? how about stopping Iran from cutting off the Persian Gulf?? you and the rest of GCC would be screwed. If Iran stopped your oil tankers from leaving unmolested.

I disagree. $$ is a big factor IMO. not only is the M1 a lot more expensive to purchase it's a lot more expensive to operate. the gas turbine engine costs a lot to run compared to a diesel engine of a T-72 as for the pistol and rifle scenario those are two different weapon systems and...

U.S,Israel,Saudi Arabia,Qatar, and Turkey........must be worrying now.

Pakistan and India are funny. India claims MOAB killed Pakistan agents. now Pakistan claims MOAB killed India agents jesus :pop:
