With eye on China, Japan considers deploying troops to disputed islands

[comet]

LOL Chi-Bot invasion again huh? With their one-man army? Anyone making a pool on how long goodguy lasts?

Anyway that is one revisionist history you made there chi-bot.

Clearly your party masters have done their work well if you believe everything you just wrote. However, the rest of the world does not.

china has no experience in coordination between units under a combat environment . USA has much expreience and elite military units that are effective working together.

Does not really matter. Any war involves China would be a missile war. Who can launch maximal numbers of missiles and replenish their launchers in the shortest time will win.

Station of troops in the rocks just does not make sense. These rocks are not defensible. Japan will do this only if their government suffers from collective brain damage.

The Sino-Soviet conflict reminds me a joke, very popular back then in Czechoslovakia (ruled by Soviets):

Radio news: On Soviet - China border, a group of Chinese tanks attacked a peacefully ploughing soviet tractor. Tractor returned fire and after destroying aggressor's tanks, flew back to base.

Might be funny for some people had Soviet Union still existed.

It does when you consider what happens when China tries to evict them. You're aware of this, however.

Its a no brainer that goodguy is a standard chicom nationalist with zero knowledge about the world. For today PRC has practically ZERO real combat experience their technology is 25-30 years behind the wests and i didnt made this up your general Chen Zhou stated that.

You really believed Gen. Chen? I haven't seen anyone believed Communist propaganda so much for quite a while.

U.S. might make some noise, that's about it. U.S. won't defend Japanese provocation, which is exactly what Japan does if she station troops there.

And what is China prepared to do in response? Invade? I think not. Which is, of course, the point.

I must say, he's quite possibly the most optimistic and revisionist troll we've ever had

Most others took 500-1000 posts to get to his main point

Chinese of course will respond militarily, maybe by launching a few cruise missiles, for example. But do not expect the Americans to join in, because they know the Chinese action is in response to Japanese provocation. Then what would Japan do? Engage in a missile war with China?

Considering our defense treaties and agreements with Japan then yes the US would provide support to Japan! esp if China fired the first shot against Japanese forces in region!

The U.S. is not going to give Japan a blank check despite the defense treaty. Alliance actually increases the chance of war, as WWI demonstrated. Those who forgot history will repeat it.

I hope its sarcasm?

Nice "spin" but your argument is invalid. And comparing WW1 to todays conflicts is not a good idea.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was talking to a fantasist.

I mean Western media often regard Chinese official statement as propaganda and disinformation. And many members of this forum think the same way. Yet that guy took Gen. Chen's statement that in general Chinese military technology is lagging 25-30 years after America's seriously. I was amazed.

I was not talking about WWI itself or comparing it with today's situation.

Hello MRaper, what do you mean by Japanese provocation? China has been extremely provocative in recent years with incursions into Japanese territory followed by Chinese media condemnation of the Japanese. Seems like the Chinese are looking to stir up trouble far more than the Japanese are.
