Chinese missile could shift Pacific power balance

From what I can tell teh TU-22 was never actually sold to Korea or China... The only ones not in service with the Russian Air Force were left in USSR territories during their breakup. Balarus is one country listed as having one... to be honest... not that intimidating of an airplane... has teh radar cross signature of a stadium... Patriots travel fast enough to take one down easy... ICBMs are a serious threat... their air force is not...

They dont need a missle! If they kept all their5 cargo carriers in port for two monthsm this country would go under.Imagine,every walnart store closed, dollar general with nothing to sell, and american companys with plants there, broke.We gave our country away long ago. When OUR defense contractorsm have top secret technology, built over there, we lost.

Just read today where China just passed Japans economy during the second quarter 2010...China's economy is second largest only to the United States...economists are guestimating China's economy, if it stays on the same trend that it has been, could pass up the United States economy in as little as twenty years.

I am not a tree hugger but I know with out any type of EPA they are doing what we did during our industrial revolution. Pollution will and has caught up with them and will get worse. I've seen pic's of dust storms overthere not to mention in the cities everyone wearing mask....Sorry to get off subject.

GREAT! Does that mean when we have hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods, they will send us economic aid and disaster assistance. If so, good, long over due.
