| #5 Iff the US = USDOD is serious about intercepting enemy missles at launch or early-to-midflight phases, then the above should also include Air-launched BMD from large specialized/niche Aircraft [e.g. converted 747's]+ NT Dirigibles. |

| #4 Also from STRATRISKS ... > H-6K GIVES PLA STRIKE POWER WIDIN PACIFIC FIRST ISLAND CHAIN, + Guam-CNMI. > US TINY ISLANDS FOR MILITARY USE IN ASIA-PACIFIC PIVOT. > US TO BUILD MILITARY BASE ON SAIPAN TO COUNTER PLA MISSLE: ANALYST. Wehell, I 've always argued that it not enuff for the US = USDOD to base THAAD Missles just on Guam, i.e. it will have to do so also in the CNMI + IMO even Iwo Jima [Bonins]. * RELATED WORLD MILITARY FORUM > EXPERTS SAY THE US HAS ACCELERATED THE CONSTRUCTION OF SECOND ISLAND CHAIN "BRIDGEHEAD" TO SUPPORT AND REINFORCE THE CONTAINMENT OF CHINA. USDOD return to the CNMI islands of Saipan, Tinian + Pagan begin to worry/concern the Chinese. * DAILY STAR LEBANON > PENTAGON CHIEF, AT KOREAN DMZ, SAYS US WILL NOT CUT FORCE IN [South] KOREA, despite ongoing Budget-Sequester Crisis, now Shutdown threat. |

| #3 PLA has its own factories, businesses, slave labor and own's a big portion of the port of Long Beach. It should have no trouble raising 20b even without taxes. |

| #2 I wonder what would happen when a large number of "pampered princes" died due to combat considering they are the only child in a family? I suspect much internal conflict would result. |

| #1 FYI Pert Artic a short while back denoted how the true strength of China's strategic deterrence lies in its PLAA [PLA Army = ground forces], as also supported by LR PLA Second Arty, NOT IN ITS PLAN = NAVY despite MSM-Net rhetoric to the contrary. ALSO, THAT "PREEMPTION" [read, ATTACKING/STRIKING FIRST OR SUDDENLY = BOLT-FROM-THE-BLUE] has been all but formally adopted by China's inner Political-Military circles. Lest we fergit, 1990'S SINO-RUSSIAN "WAR AGZ THE US IS NOT ONLY POSSIBLE BUT DESIRED" [circa 2018] + SINO-RUSSIAN COMMON "BATTLE/LOCAL ZONE" STRATEGY TO DEFEAT INTERVENING USDOD FORCES. Lest we fergit II, CHINA > HIGH OR PROHIBITIVE PLA CASUALTIES IS N-O-T A MAJOR OR IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THEIR MIL PLANNING, albeit this is not to argue the CPC, CMC + PLA will waste soldiers' lives wantonly or foolishly. IT DOES MEAN THEY WILL DO WHAT IT TAKES, EVEN IFF IT MEANS TO "PUSH THE ENVELOPE" TO ACHIEVE DECISIVE = FINAL MILPOL VICTORY. |
