Nasa power lang si Mao Tse Tung nun 1949 at nagkaron lang sila ng pera nun tulungan sila ni Mr. Andy nun 70s. So walang combat experience ang kanilang air force. Wala din dagat yan except sa side ng Guangzhou/HK kaya wala din combat experience ang kanilang navy. Natalo ng Vietnam ang Chayna sa land warfare just after the Vietnam War - which means Chayna can not throw all its resources in a war. So in all respect, bagito yan sa labanan. Yun mga pinapakita nilang armas nila eh psywar lang yan - posturings para matakot tayo pero in truth, walang dibdib yan sa laban. Wala nga nagawa yan nun nilusob sila ng Japan at the start of the Pacific War. In fact, sa HK eh takot sa suntukan yan sa mga Pinoy.
First and foremost na kailangan natin eh modernized air force dahil magagaling mga piloto natin. We need to buy Mirage jets (dinidispatsa na ng Brazil yun mga Mirage nila so pwede natin siguro bilhin) or yun pinaka best eh Rafale fighter jets from France. Then, we need submarines (even second hand from Ukraine) fitted with Excocet missiles (from France). Yan pa lang eh pwede na natin silang paalisin sa Spratleys. If we do a first strike, out na agad yan sa Spratleys at Reed Bank. Di na sila makakabawi kasi pag tumawid sila further eh babanatan na sila ng US Navy. Gusto nga ng US na pumasok yan sa gera kasi negosyo yan sa US. Take note that US is patrolling that part of the sea to guarantee safe passage of oil going to Japan and Korea. Covered din ng radar ng US lahat ng dagat na yan. Chayna can not afford a long term war - wala sa budget nila yan. We have the seed money to buy these jets and subs if we sell the sites of Camp Aguinaldo, Camp Crame and the National Penitentiary at bawasan pork barrel.
Di ko lang maintindihan kun bakit walang bayag itong si Mr. Benigno Simeon at mga generals natin at pinapakita sa buong mundo na duwag tayo. Maski wala ka armas eh pakita mo na matapang ka - na di ka pwede sabihan ng "shut up". Poker game lang yan - kun masindak ka eh tapos ka na. Gusto mo bang dinuduro ka at pinababayaan mo lang at ipinapakita mo sa buong mundo kun gaano ka ka duwag? Its not a question of having no weapons, its to show that you have honor and dignity. We should be deciding our fate not on the hope na tutulong ang US but instead decide on purchasing weapons without US approvals. If that necessitates amendments on the Constitution to allow nuclear weapons should we decide to buy nuclear warheads, then, so be it.
