The green bug like him will only drive the US over the cliff.



Well, the US has been greatly weakened since 2008, and do you expect Obama to act tougher?

The US now depends on Obamacare for their growth rate, and their employment purely depends on the service sector.

Hillary cannot do much either if this trend doesn't change.

US is still strong enough to win the Oil war between US-Putin ( if Putin is not smart enough to realize that supporting VN to unify sub-Mekong region and to control Malacca strait is the only way to beat US sanction).

do you believe to "there are human lives on Mars"?
the likelyhood the US supports your dream comes true is close to Zero, similar to that lives exist on Mars.

Or is there something I don´t know?

an interesting review from the PLA, the world in 2014 summarized with the 26 English letters. I cut short and leave only of 2: C and V. the self praise "China’s military casts a brilliant figure on the global stage." sounds weird and wrong in some neighbor countries ears, I guess. Anyone remembers of the oil rig?

Defense spokesman summarizes military hot spots in 2014 with 26 letters

File photo of Senior Colonel Yang Yujun, deputy director of the Information Office of the Ministry of National Defense (MND) of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and spokesman of the MND of the PRC.

C - China: China’s military has made remarkable progress on all fronts in 2014, not only drawing close attention in the international community, but also receiving unanimous praises from the Chinese public. Focusing on building a powerful military, eliminating corruption and deepening reform, China’s military casts a brilliant figure on the global stage.
V - Vietnam: Vietnam intensified its military construction and its potential is not to be underestimated.

Rolldock Star heavy lift vessel, carrying the HQ-184 Hải Phòng submarine, has departed Singapore and is heading to Cam Ranh Naval Base. If everything goes according to plan, the Rolldock Star will arrive in Cam Ranh on January 27th and ready to unload the HQ-184 on January 28th.

X201 automobile factory begins to deliver heavy transporter Maz-537 with max capacity of 50 tonnes to military regions #7 and #9. the Maz-537 can carry the new tanks, T-72 (41.5t) and T-90 (46.5t).

I am not a military expert, but I guess the T72/T90 will build the new backbone of VPA tank armies.

A Vietnam Air Force helicopter crashed in Ho Chi Minh City just minutes after take-off this morning, killing all four crew members, a military general has confirmed.
Lieutenant General Vo Van Tuan, Deputy Chief of Staff of the People's Army, said the Vietnam War era UH-1 Iroquois helicopter crashed in the city's Binh Chanh District during a training flight.
All four crew members on board were killed in the crash, he said.
News website VnExpress cited a district official as saying that the helicopter, well known as the Huey, crashed in a local farm.

LA US-made UH-1 Iroquois helicopter of Vietnam Air Force in a file photo taken in 2014.

It fell off the radar just 8 minutes after taking off at Tan Son Nhat Airport after 7 a.m.
“Around eight minutes after they took off, the air control station could no longer contact with the crew,” Tuoi Tre quoted general Tuan as saying.
Vietnam seized about 50 UH-1 "Hueys" from the US-backed South Vietnam army after the country's reunification in 1975. Local media reported last year that 14 of them were still operational.
Last July, a Russian-made Mi-171 chopper crashed on the outskirts of Hanoi during a training exercise, leaving 20 soldiers on board dead and another injured.

UH-1 is too old, too outdated, too risky when flying, similar to Mi-171. we should look for new choppers. urgently.
