US sending B1 bombers to train with India and base it 700km away from the Chinese border is an escalation. Even though the B1 is not most cutting edge US aircraft, it sends a serious message. The JASDF have sent observers for this exercise, so this is definitely a QUAD move. Let's see if the joint US-India exercises, do any ALCM launch exercise facing China.

The US is probably assessing to setup a base in India. Maybe also considering putting nukes on Indian soil. India is probably considering having at least a US base to have some one-up over China. The US would love to encourage India to confront and attack China. And India would expect to use a US base to send it's own warplanes against China, with confidence that China would not strike that US base for fear of greater escalation. A dangerous game to play. But not impossible, considering what the US is already doing in Ukraine and Asia Pacific today.

Some might argue that India will never join the American Axis and abandon it's friendship Russia. Or India will not do it because it wants to become it's own Superpowa. I would argue that India has no such concept as loyalty, friendship, and integrity. India will think that it can use and play with Russia or the US to its own benefit. The US, like the British Empire of old will use this to it's advantage and trick India into joining it's empire of vassals. The Russians will be the poor fools, believing that the many decades of friendship with India actually means something.

I think China should send it's H-6 fleet to train with the Pakistan Air force. And start some exercise involving joint ALCM deployment with Pakistan. Then further strengthen the PLAAF facing India.

''Exercise Cope India'' That's a strange name for our coping friends.

The thing is with Hainan I believe the people who actually bought 凤梨 there to farm are actually Taiwanese farmers who saw the favorable terms that the provincial government was providing and decided to go over of their own free will. And if they brought with them seedlings then well that's that.

You can regrow a pineapple by cutting off its top and letting it root. Kind of difficult to enforce any kind of proprietary cultivar!

The bad news is that this is fake news and Putin isn't going to attack...

The sobering truth is that our potential adversaries, Russia in the West and China in the East, are gearing up for wider conflict. That does not mean that conflict will happen –preparation makes it less likely – but we must urgently recognise the extent of the threat to the current order. Our world is becoming markedly more dangerous. And Britain is not ready.

Our collective response over too much of the past 15 years was one of denial, oiled and encouraged by Russian money and influence in the US, UK and EU. War

opened our eyes – just this week Cabinet Office Secretary Oliver Dowden gave an “unprecedented” warning of cyber threats to our national infrastructure; and Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has been consistently robust – but there is much more we can do.

Some of our closest allies, such as Poland, are re-arming on land at an unprecedented rate. Were the worst to happen, they will be ready to defend European soil. But the Nato alliance remains dangerously exposed at sea.

Blah blah...

Again am going to keep asking this question: how in the world are these folks going to fund all of these military requirements and with what money? When their economic conditions are worsening which means they are going to cut in services and other important areas of the public domain to ensure that their dream lists are close to becoming a reality.

This sentiment isn't exclusive to the U.K. delusions but is very much pervasive in countries like India (check the pedestrian complaints and comments) and their equally loquacious counterpart but less technically and technologically competent country, the Philippines - see the delusional comments from their rerired military officers, politicians, and genius netizens that seem to imagine that they can have and afford all the American weaponry like magic.

Just look at the trending topics on the Texas tribune website and that will tell you all you need to know about the GOP and how overrun they have become by right wing religious nutjobs. The US is quickly approaching some sort of domestic calamity when you have crazies like that legislating.

They also don't comprehend that nuclear nation will fight other nuclear nation with nuke... having ground equipments don't help a lot. Military equipments will be needed a lot more for UK if Ireland and Scotland decide to go their way.
