FWIW: China is not even fucking close to the U.S. Military period. What they are trying to do though is probe how we react to cyber security breaches and that China is catching up to us on. But basic military, training, weapons, jets, tanks etc.. Not Even Close.

America has more nukes, aircraft, and aircraft carriers than China, for sure, but in terms of actual numbers of active military, China outranks the USA. America currently has more reserves, but look at the number of Chinese reaching miltary age annually

I don't for one second believe that ISISrael would sell China anything until China stopped cooperating with Russia.

The US has been sending technology to China for forty years. Obviously Israel would get in on the action at some point.
The US wants China strong to balance the Russians. Their dream is to turn them against each other.

In the meantime, the bastards are eating up the southeast asian nations! Nice fuckung job, US!

the "asia pivot" is designed to address this. The US is working hard to bring Japan on board - they're needed as a key ally for the Western axis. Russia, meanwhile, has designs on peeling off Germany and much of europe with it.
