Pentagon seeks to curb China's military might!!

[AGENDA21]

The Pentagon is seeking to dissuade China from building its military forces to a level “not warranted” by its security needs, and the issue is addressed in a new long-term Pentagon plan, a senior U.S. military official said Wednesday.

Ryan Henry, principal deputy undersecretary of defense for policy, said Washington wanted to make sure the Chinese "have the forces necessary to provide for their genuine security needs and not to go beyond that," according to a Reuter report.

However, the Pentagon plan outlines that U.S. own military will be strengthened with a rising investment bill. In the Pacific, the U.S. Navy will add at least one aircraft carrier strike group and maintain 60 percent of its submarines, the Pentagon’s draft plan said.

1. Well, let's get back to crashing spy planes into Chinese fighter jets

Bored with their general failures in Afganistan and Iraq, they are finally returning to the pre-9/11 game.

If we fall out with China then we won't have any shoes (in fact since most things are made in China!)

3. Who would China not be "Secure" from?

D'Oh...it's us so no wonder we don't want them to have that capability. When in the entire history of China has it ever been an Aggressor nation? Now the USA, when hasn't it?

Sure, Mr. Henry, we'll reduce our military forces to a "self-defense" level :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: right after you guys do the same! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
