Japan and Taiwan tested their joint tracking system earlier today and it worked to perfection. Targeting a Chicom frigate on patrol in the northern part of the South China Sea, Japanese and Taiwanese intelligence each separately, then in combination, detected and tracked the Chicom ship. As part of the training exercise each nation dispatched a ship to intercept the Chicom frigate. This is part of a system of shared Early Warning radar and satellite imaging designed to allow Japan and Taiwan to coordinate tracking of Chicom naval and air units and have a seamless transfer of information between the two militaries. Japan's Defense Minister stated this is the kind of cooperation that is needed to check the threat from the Chicoms. He cited the joint operations from many nations, including the US, and also Australia, The Philippines, India, South Korea and PERHAPS even Vietnam, which has expressed an interest in joining the anti-Chicom coalition.
I feel for the good people of China. The average citizen who wants nothing more than to live a quiet, peaceful life, care for their family and live as any person would want to. Unfortunately, they are caught in this vice as their commie bastard leadership continues to make threats against sovereign nations and increasingly finds itself being more isolated.
BTW, watch the skies....the stupid, uncaring Chicoms have a large rocket returning to Earth soon, and they have no idea where on Earth it will land i.e. crash with a large explosion. They don't even know where it will reenter the atmosphere. US officials say the rocket will most likely break up upon reentry but chunks the size of a small car will survive to come crashing to the ground. Could hit Lincoln Parish...watch the skies.
Biden is being "urged" to make a policy statement saying the US will defend Taiwan against Chicom aggression:

Biden is puckered up and worried about China cutting off a large portion of his and his fellow progressives funding...
Saturday May 8 is the expected crash date...Quote:

Idiot reporter on Fox News said the rocket will splash down in the ocean or on land.
Good deal sparky!
It’s a riot watching and listening to journalist and lawyers trying to explain anything science related.Quote:

The Brits have seven nuclear-powered subs, all equipped with a variety of torpedoes and missiles, including nuke warheads.

There are three older subs in the fleet, that are assigned to the Home Fleet as defense of the island nation (Vanguard class). And then there are...were?...and are, again, the two latest attacks subs, HMS Astute and HMS Ambush. First launched 6 years ago, the Astute had problems, taken out of service for a spell, even as her sister ship, the HMS Ambush was being built. Rumors swirled that the new subs were an engineering mess.
Well...first the HMS Astute appeared in an Australian port. And then, hello! the HMS Ambush popped up in the South China Sea. Apparently, she had been tracking the Chicom fleets during recent training exercises, and the Chicoms had no idea...none...she was there. Love the name, "Ambush." Appropriate.
Plans are for the Brits to build 5 new subs, two more of the Astute-class, and two in a new Trafalgar-class, and another Vanguard class sub.
Love the alliances...

The war of words is escalating between the Chicoms and the Aussies. President Xi said today that Australia will "die a long, lingering death." That right after Xi acknowledged the Chicoms' willingness to use biological weapons, and warned it would be easy for them to cover Australia with biological weapons delivered by ICBMs. Trade and commerce is already strained and the Aussies have issued a warning it will cut off the shipments of iron ore to China, their #1 source of the critical resource. Some pundits quickly tried to make the argument that Xi was referring to an economic "lingering death," not a biological weapons threat. But, civility is breaking down between the two nations and misunderstandings like this could be the cause of a shooting war.
Chicom media getting vocal (on orders from the commie leadership) issuing warnings and promises that China's military can defeat US forces, and our allies, stationed in or near the South China Sea. Well, given they have a homefield advantage and have much shorter "interior lines," to borrow a 19th Century military tactics term, I suppose so. Just think if the Chicoms sent fleets, a combat fleet and an invasion fleet, into the Gulf of Mexico...we would have the homefield advantage and could easily bring in reinforcements, resupply, hit them from land bases, as well as from our carriers. It would be a slaughter.
We usually have two carrier task forces operating close to China. But we have 11 more, plus another 14 smaller carriers and their escorts. Plus our allies have a total of 8 carrier task forces and two of our allies, especially Japan, have land based bombers and long range fighters that can easily reach and operate over China or the South China Sea. So, if the Chicoms are making a bunch of boastful noise about being able to "defeat" two of our carrier groups....which is not exactly a given anyway. What will they do when our other 25 carriers and 8 more from our allies show up?
I think the fact the Chicoms feel the necessity to issue such stupid statements shows the heat they are feeling. They can run their mouths all they want, but reality is a different matter. What they should do is learn to play nice and get along with the rest of the world. Leave Taiwan alone, stop threatening the island nation, and stop all their hostile activity which includes violating territorial waters around the globe, engaging in industrial sabotage and theft, and stop releasing killer viruses on the world.
