New Zealand has a pretty balanced foreign policy to me. They pretty much mind their own business.

I think this pic is actually taken during Deng Xiaopeng's southern china tour in the 1990's China's navy have advanced quite a lot since then.

It's a casino with the ability to project air power.

Are you really from Thailand? We had a_chinese a while ago, followed by korean.

Will the PLA themselves use this tank? It says export but some of the gears inside are in chinese characters.

That's simply not gonna happen. If they embrace the US they will lose the remaining sole relevance of their existence, the whole state feeds on anti-US sentiments.

I don't think China wants to be a part of G-3. India can have G-2 with US if she wants. G-8 is enough to discuss problems with.

1964 counts as a war by most historian's definitions.

He has been charged with willful murder, and now will likely be sentenced to death for the incident. There had been a few high profile cases in the past where people stopped to help injured people, only to be blamed for the incident by the very person they rescue and their relatives. Don't let...

These could be used like a smart mortar. Fly above the opponents relatively quietly and hard to see with white paint and small size. Then cut the engine and dive silently to its target like smart munitions. If it were not for loud engine noise and larger size, how many people will really glance...
