PerryScope By Perry Diaz If China attacked the United States, she had better knock her out in the first strike. Otherwise, the U.S. would unleash 1,654 nuclear warheads on 792 deployed Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs), Submarine-launched Ballistic Missiles (SLBMs), B-52 bombers, and B-2 stealth bombers. China has approximately 240 warheads and an undetermined number of ICBMs. But who would fire the first ICBM? China had Read More …

In a new paper the Australian Strategic Policy Institute says the fashionable ”AirSea Battle” concept – which Washington strategists are Read More …
As US policy shift toward Asia means a greater role for the Navy. Even pre-’pivot to Asia,’ it already stationed half its ships in the region, and it is developing a new ‘afloat forward staging base’ in the Pacific. By Anna Mulrine, Staff writer Christian Science Monitor The Pentagon’s No. 2 official, Ashton Carter, picked a telling time to discuss the US military’s plans for Read More …
By Erick San Juan Spheres of influence and balance of power, two equally significant words that led to two world wars that the present humankind might be wittingly or unwittingly repeating the scenario from several decades ago. Will the black water snake (in Chinese astrology), signifies that the next battleground will take place in the South (or East) China Sea? But ominous or not, the Read More …

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wants to lease up to 15,000 acres of land for training army reserve soldiers in the territory. Madsen, who worked for the National Read More …
By Miles Yu The Washington Times War hysteria in China has not been this screechy since the 1970s. The newly appointed supreme leader President Xi Jinping has completely revamped the command structure of the People’s Liberation Army and given the world’s largest military force a central mission: get ready for a war, quickly. Much of China’s call to arms is related to Beijing’s increasingly unyielding Read More …
