Decades of US military build-up, particularly with respect to the missile defence system, have forced the Chinese to deploy nuclear submarines into the Pacific for the first time.
The Chinese military is poised to send submarines armed with nuclear missiles into the Pacific Ocean for the first time, arguing that new US weapons systems have so undermined Beijingâs existing deterrent force that it has been left with no alternative.
Chinese military officials are not commenting on the timing of a maiden patrol, but insist the move is inevitable.
They point to plans unveiled in March to station the US Thaad anti-ballistic system in South Korea, and the development of hypersonic glide missiles potentially capable of hitting China less than an hour after launch, as huge threats to the effectives of its land-based deterrent force.
I am personally not surprised by this, perhaps surprised that it has taken so long. There is a lot of stuff going on in the background - the US is trying to consolidate a false position of being the worldâs only superpower. The BRICS countries are a huge blocker on that, representing the huge mass of people that they do.
Russia is surrounded by US military bases on its borders, Brazilâs left wing president has been ousted recently and now China feels it needs to deploy nuclear subs to curtail what it sees as aggressive posturing by the US.
The danger, of course, is that something goes off. The Chinese have never had boomers in the Pacific before. Apparently, each UK Trident commander has a sealed letter to crack open in case London is ever destroyed. Our commanders have dealt with the responsiblity for decades. Will the Chinese be as calm and considered as we appear to have been (a claim made on the basis that weâre all still here)?
From my side of the world and the news that I get admittedly is mostly European stuff but the other asian nations are worried as fuck about the Chinese encroaching IE the Spratley islands and then making man made islands and putting landing strips on them. The filipinoâs see it as the Chinese wanting to take over similar to what the Japanese did in WWII
On that I dont deny you are correct but the nations like the Philippines rely on the Americans for support as they do not have an Army / Navy / Airforce of any note due to the Americans when they held sway over the islands not allowing them to have any. It also looks as if the Americans will be invited back into Subic Bay as a naval base and it is not long ago that they left.

Why wouldnât it be fascist? Do I have to teach you once again, I recall when you couldnât understand what the extreme left were and all who wanted to leave or questioned the EU were somehow far right, yes yes the good old Pap days of Saints Web, I remember.
Yes but itâs a tad more nuanced than that, fuck sake you can be a hardline communist but still show fascist tendencies, Pol Pot? Idi Amin? Franco? I am not going to invoke Godwins law but him also. They werenât one sphere of ideology, I can teach you but youâll have to buy my milkshake when I bring it to the yard.
You really are politically ignorant arenât you?
