My father was a WW11. vet. I remember him telling me the U.S. never wants war with china. Not because they have more firepower but just so many people. Miss u dad.

“Military exercises” just like Russia was doing “militarily exercises” before the invasion.

[untouchablex]

"Special" military exercises.

There was a time when Russia was doing 'military exercises' near the border of Ukraine.

We're getting so close to our demise.

[ethanrichardson]

my worry is not this Chinese fighter jets, warships to start the first shot, my biggest worry is a Russian submarine sneaks in quitely and fire the first shot then leaves the crime scene in secrecy !

"China performs military exercises on its own land."

China gone mess around and find out!!!

Would the media characterise US military exercises with South Korea as an “escalation” against North Korea?

[dbsti]

I don't care what anyone says about Trump. What we do know is that he would have kept China back.

[d.sertsedesta]

Who provoked? This does help neither Taiwan nor US. China does not want to launch war in the region. Yet, if it is inevitable, china has all capacities.
