Countries like US and Russia and China will seek to partially survive MAD (and are determined to do so in their strategic planning). It is not possible to destroy all military/hardened targets with nuclear exchange. This means they will wipe out all other countries with even the remote...

^^^MAD does not involve just nuclear destruction of your primary enemy anyway, but all countries that has a potential to rise to position of power after the nuclear exchange. If say US and USSR had a total exchange back in the cold war days, all other nuclear powers and even non-nuclear...

Ironically if China manages to maintain sufficient exports to Europe at competitive price and the the Chinese government offers extra financial assiatance to Europe, would it be kind of like an extra tariff, but in this case the Chinese government is paying for it and the manufacturers can...

The newest Arleigh Burke DDG seems even better armed than the Tico cruisers of the 80s.

I like mini-submarines. Nothing like watching the fishes while you sit back and relax. :D

Still need to go out and know what others are doing every now and then, keeping up to date is the only way to prevent from falling behind. I think the media technologies will help us alot in that, even if we don't have to be physically in someplace to know what is happening to it.

The Goguryeo-Sui wars: Goguryeo Though you can argue that it's another state that eventually defeated Goguryeo with Chinese help, controlled present day Korea and became a vessal of China. Koreans consider Goguryeo to be part of their history. Although after its eventual defeat most of its...

Looks like Varyag is going out to sea again to me. :D

Looks like it's either an open-top or it fell down from somewhere high. RIP.

I don't mind the use of bio-fuel to replace oil, but it should only for aviation. Ground transport should still look for alternatives. But high energy density is required for aviation so bio-fuel will fill the gap until some other alternative with similar performance is found. It is good that...

The pig represent the PIGS, of course.

This debate is going no where, because there are double standards and we can spend a lot of effort just arguing over fluffy details and definitions. Anybody with clear eyes should just wait and see.

It is actually going to take a lot of effort to explain this so we'll just watch how it plays out. Most of the money China is sitting on comes from the hardwork of millions of Chinese citizens. You want to see predatory money practices? There are some sort of occupy something rallies going on...

[excerps from an article] If we look at it as a pyramid, traditionally the US has been at the tip, with europe and Japan occupy second tiers, countries like China and post soviet russia are third tiers, then you have fourth tier countries composed of the likes of Iraq and Libya. This is the new...

China does not really want the euro to collapse. If Euro collapse now US and China will be the beneficiaries but US being alot closer will take most of the benefits. Not to mention afterwards US will turn its complete focus on the yuan. China wants the euro to survive for now but they want...

RIP to a good man.

China's population density is less than India's:

Tiawan did have a clandestine nuclear program in the 70s but it was shut down at the pressure of no other than the US.

He shouldn't have to put that apple sticker on, just be pround of your own work. Edit just watched the video apparently it was modified from his apple laptop, in which case acknowledgement is needed.

The US is curious about the modernisation of China's armed forces and Navy. Just normal response testing.
