China is making some noise partly because there is a presidential election on January 2016.
IJN dropped over 4,000 bombs with 300+ planes on Pearl Harbor. It didn’t end the war there, and Pearl Harbor stayed in the fight. Guam is 5,000 km away from China. That’s ICBM range. How many ICBMs with conventional(non-NBC) warheads would be necessary to match IJN’s 4,000 bombs?
A few weeks ago, USMC hold a “Pacific Amphibious Leaders Symposium,” as part of larger “Culebra Koa 15.”
Question about the career path. What does being assigned to be the CO of an USNS says about the career of an USN officer? Are they still on track for bigger/better things afterward? Or are those billets for people who needs a few more years before they can retire?
The book Tyene was not the daughter of Ellaria Sand. Ellaria’s own daughter was too young in the book. I guess they cast the actress before they decided reduced the number of the Sand Snakes on screen. Not too mention every time we have the name of an official spouse(not paramour) of a Martell, they’re ususally not…
I don’t care much for China after their betrayal in 1895. People in the region understand how those bases are important “strategic stronghold,” for both Japan and US. But both Japan and US should not count on being able to have 18% of the land area of the main island for military bases. It would be wise to have…
Then I really need to see how much Hayato DNA markers are left. My family came from a place where 80% of pre-1945 population have aboriginal/Austronesian genetic markers. It seems at least linguistically, Hayato are also Austronesian in origin. So they may be very distant kin.
By Yamato/Jomon, you are not including Emishi, Hayato, Saeki, or other similar ancient people who were conquered by the Yamato dynasty, right?
Back in the 20th century, when China itself was carved up into various “sphere of influence,” US went in with its “Open Door Policy” to the benefits of both nations.
It’s not like US is dropping bombs inside China and killing Chinese civilians.
Would SK/ROK AF really be interested? Wouldn’t that endanger their T/FA-50 program?
You want to talk about Chinese Nationalist/KMT and the plights of Austrian Jews. Let’s talk about Chiang family’s well-documented personal involvement with what put them in that position. It’s hard to credit Chinese Nationalist/KMT for helping Austrian Jews when Chiang Kai-Shek’s son personally led a Panzer unit to…
The largest/highest civilian casualty single event of WWII, was by Chinese Nationalist/KMT.
US NAVAIR had always been considered the 2nd most powerful air force in the world right after USAF.
Wiki article put the support at 20-25%. I had seen higher poll numbers.
They can carry US AGM-84 Harpoon, but also Mitsubishi ASM-1c/Type-91.
Different doctrines. JSDF has almost constant surveillance with its Kawasaki P-1 MPA over those islands. And those new batteries gave those Kawasaki P-1 additional layers of protection.
