Unless we decide to go back to colonialism and treating our Asian neighbours like slaves and prostitutes we have nothing to fear from any other country in our region.
Respect and open trade is a much better replacement to war and the huge cost in lives and money.
WW1 and ww2 were always avoidable because the build up of nationalism which sparked both wars and the rise of fascism and communism never needed to happen. As for the wars throughout Asia every single one of them was due to European colonialism, disrespect and racist trade barriers.
Lets save our money and instead use common sense and open trade.

China has been the victim of wars and invasions ..not an aggressor

why would china bomb us when its cheaper to buy us, 

i personally thought the F111 was a fantastic plane. it got a bad rap after some pilot named spot crashed a half a dozen of them, this was very sad. apparently he was using the internet whilst flying missions .

He is a hell of a lot better read than you, while your level of ignorance is nowhere near adele's, your knowledge base is extremely poor.


Read a friggen book for christ's sake or even an aviation magazine once and awhile .

The Liaoning doesn't even have an airgroup yet. The ship's primary fixed wing combat aircraft is going to be the J-15 and so far the PLAN only has sixteen for development purposes. Even if the aircraft was available in numbers, the Liaoning only has room for less that 30 fixed wing aircraft. Complicating matters is the Liaoning only has stores to stay out to sea for about forty-five days and enough fuel and ordinance for two weeks of sustained operations.

To put it in perspective, the USN's Nimitz-class carriers have three times the fixed-wing aircraft including dedicated AWACS and EWAR aircraft. They can stay out to sea indefinently, and they carry enough fuel and ordinance for around two weeks of sustained operations by three times as many aircraft as a Liaoning. Essentially a Nimitz-class ship is worth three Liaonings in just number of aircraft.

We've got ten Nimitz-class ships. China only has one Liaoning.

The difference is that I don't claim to be an expert like many others here.

You don't need to be a content expert to make cogent rational statements and question, just a modicum of intelligence and the ability to realise when someone knows more than you do.
