<span>We're having Chinese for MidRats? No bologna on white bread? Good.</span>
You can say anything on the chinese but at least they have great food :)
Other than that, my first bone thrown into dogfight is:
Bear vs the Dragon - 1905 redux?
Over 100 years ago a young ambitious nation rose in Asia - they were the Meiji Japan. But when they first confronted major naval power, they didn't go against then-hyperpower of RN. Instead they attacked declining Romanov empire. With vast almost uninhabited Siberia to the north , Russia in decline of power and half of the Mendeleyev table to claim in resources... what would the Chinese do?
For all those who for one reason or another couldn't make Midrats a command attendance, you missed another helluva good show. Final determination: Not only are we screwed, but we pretty much screwed outselves.
One thing that made e thinking lately - if PRC IRBMs can hit moving carriers, they certainly can land in fuel and ammo depots in fixed bases like Guam and Okinawa...
