the U.S just needs to understand that its once global dominance is over. it should learn to accommodate other powers like Russia and China in this new world.


in Syria recent reports indicate that a flotilla of Russian advanced warships have pulled out of Syria's ports to position in case of any US missile strike.
Russian officials have warned that missiles will be shot down and their "launch sites" targeted.

they left a submarine behind possibly as a second strike option.

In Asia, the PLAN second aircraft carrier is on stream. every single day that passes by the Chinese military capability grow in leaps and bounds.

The U.S should just focus on its own corner of the continent.

President Trump nominates Marine Corps Col. Lorna Mahlock to serve as the first black female brigadier general . https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2018/04/12/politics/marine-corps-brigadier-general-first-black-female/index.html?__twitter_impression=true

Missile Madness in Syria

It is to be hoped that you will read this piece. Perhaps that should be put differently: it is hoped that we will all be alive on the day that this piece appears — or is intended to appear.

The reason for concern that we might not be around much longer is the Trump tweet of April 11 threatening Russia in offensively belligerent terms that it must refrain from attempting to defend Syria from Washington’s promised missile blitz.

His words chill the spine. It is barely believable that a US president could announce to the world that “Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and “smart!” You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!”
Trump is spoiling for a fight and has no idea what he’s setting in motion. (He has obviously no idea what a “smart” missile is, for a start.) He is trying to force Russia into a corner — and Russia will not be forced. If he engages in illegal military action against Syria by firing missiles at it and in so doing damages Russian bases or equipment in Syria, there will be most serious consequences.


There could be a nuclear war.


Exactly a month ago, on March 13, CNBC reported that General Valery Gerasimov, Russia's Chief of the General Staff, said Russia had reliable information about militants preparing to falsify a Syrian government chemical attack against civilians. In this event “the US would use this attack to accuse Syrian government troops of using chemical weapons. He added that the US would then plan to launch a missile strike on government districts in Damascus.” What he predicted has come about, save for the fact that the strikes (as at the moment of writing) are yet to take place.

General Gerasimov was absolutely clear that should the fabricated chemical attack be executed, and if the US did strike Syria, and if “there is a threat to the lives of our military, the Russian Armed Forces will take retaliatory measures both over the missiles and carriers that will use them.” This statement was not covered in Trump’s Fox News daily intelligence briefing, and the only reaction from the Pentagon was to send CNBC a message saying that Russia should “stop creating distractions.” There was no question of asking Russia for information about the falsified chemical attack that was being planned. Nor was there any suggestion that there be constructive discussion about means to lower tension.

So now the United States is planning to attack Syria, a state with an elected government that is under grave threat from rebel forces and Sunni Islamic extremists who, if they managed to conquer the country, would slaughter every member of every other Islamic sect and all the almost million Syrian Christians who are protected by the Assad government — an embarrassing fact that is kept very quiet indeed by Western governments and their media.
Syria has permanent representation in the United Nations. It is acknowledged internationally, albeit it most resentfully by many in the West, as a sovereign state.

The first Purpose of the United Nations Organisation is “To maintain international peace and security, and to that end to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace.” The emphasis is on “peaceful means”, a condition that was ignored by the United States when it engaged in its wars in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, and its current clandestine combat operations in countless countries .
There is no question of the US engaging in “peaceful means” in Syria, whose government it intends to destroy, and its latest justification for attacking the country is the yet-to-be-proved chemical attack on a city in which Syrian forces had already overcome the crazed militants who had occupied it for so long. There was no reason whatever for the Syrian government to use chemical or any other weapons in these last stages of its impending victory over the Islamic fanatics.

The Charter of the United Nations mandates that “The parties to any dispute, the continuance of which is likely to endanger the maintenance of international peace and security, shall, first of all, seek a solution by negotiation, enquiry, mediation, conciliation, arbitration, judicial settlement, resort to regional agencies or arrangements, or other peaceful means of their own choice.” But the United States has decided to again attack Syria without any such approach.
The United Nations Charter prohibits “the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.” There has been no indication that the United States would be acting in self-defence by attacking the State of Syria, and the UN Security Council has not approved any such action against it. A US missile strike on Syria would be totally contrary to international law.


On April 11 US naval forces in the Eastern Mediterranean included the guided missile destroyer USS Donald Cook along with an unknown number of cruise-missile equipped submarines, likely including the USS Georgia. But however many missile capable vessels there are, their precise locations are known (even the submarines) by Russia, which has the Mediterranean well and truly covered, and if the US ships’ missiles kill Russians in Syria, there will be retaliation. It would be impossible for Russia to refrain from taking action against the country that killed its citizens, knowing well that they were in the targeted locations.

Even Trump must know that a missile blitz on Syria that involved the death of Russians would be vastly provocative.

Trump’s military parade friend , French President Emmanuel Macron, has not yet made up his mind whether to join in Washington’s anti-Russia missile strikes on Syria, and it seems that British Prime Minister Theresa May will be forced to put the idea to a democratic vote in the House of Commons, where it will assuredly be defeated. And nobody else in Europe favours the idea of going to war with Russia.

Trump is on his own in threatening that he’s going to missile blitz the Syrians, and the hell with Russia. His bizarre tweet “Get ready Russia,” because the missiles “will be coming, nice and new and ‘smart!’” has caused alarm in Washington and has shown the world that he is verging on the psychotic. If he does kill Russians, he will learn that this is not a wise thing to do, because Russia is not going to accept such action and will probably destroy a large and expensive missile-firing US navy ship. What then?

If fighting between Americans and Russians breaks out only one country stands to gain in a major basis , guess which country ?

It's very difficult for them, struggling with two emerging allied super powers. They should swallow there pride.

There is nothing truthful about the rant made by Lionel4power.

The United States spends almost 700 billion dollars on defence, it has the capacity to spend way more than that. At 700 billion it's more than 5 times the amount China in second place spends per year.

In terms of of modernity of the force, China's Air Force fighter fleet is mainly composed of the F-7.

China has only one operational aircraft carrier, carrying at most 35 aircrafts, even if we give 3 to China, you cannot compare it to the 11 the US has. US aircraft carriers carry up to 80 aircrafts.

Most people forget the US also has LHD's that carry F-35s. The US has the world's largest forward force projection. The US military might is simply un-matachble in the history of the world.

In terms of combat experience, the US has been engaged in 55 different wars/armed conflict since the end of WWII. That's nearly 72 years of non-stop combat.

Manpower currently stands at 1.3 million, this is without conscription. A modern force.

Most people support Russia or China because humans generally enjoy an under-dog story.

If the US did not enter WWII, Germany could have taken over Europe, that's how good they are.

Poland is not a strong country militarily. They can't take on Germany, even in this German pacifist state. France or the UK will take Germany to the cleaners if war were to break out today between any of them.

The only thing the Germans currently got going for them right now is there defence industry. I remember reading an article about Germany's fighter fleet. The article claimed only 36 fighter jets in the German Air Force are combat ready.

German fighters deployed for Operations against ISIS could not even fly at night.

That country run by idiots can't scratch off a 60 year old rash off its ass.

And u expect it to go global

International heavy weights have no place for pussies

And lolzzz one thing I wonder about always ,

When I see the pics of communist or security state countries u will notice that everything military equipments, personnels etc is so neat , ordered , in place and in almost theatrical precision

Wonder how long it is going to last in the chaos of a battle.
