hello shades, fyi, china builds rockets at 1/20 the cost of the usa, and any rumble, both lose, with russia the winner ... delicate, very delicate, and so best to give up that line of false dawn

so, see, this is how strategy works when thinking is applied, as opposed to the snake oil pushed by condi rice
