TAIWAN'S FAILURE TO RELIABLY PROTECT MILTECH SECRETS VEE BEIJING + PLA MAY BE A MAJOR FACTOR IN THE US-WEST'S UNWILLINGNESS = RELCUTANCE TO SELL IT ADVANCED WEAPON SYSTEMS.

#5 It doesn't matter that it's free - it's simply irritating to be expected to sign up for some random website just to read an article. Either post the relevant portion inline, or don't post at all.

I suppose the original poster didn't even realize this as he is a subscriber.

#11 Dammit, I did it again. Sorry, gromky, you did nothing to deserve being trolled, and I've asked badanov to reverse it. In the meantime, here's what gromky posted:
