China vs. Russia - Beyond Military Comparisons

If we could set the world stage right now, it'd be a whole bunch of drunk guys in a parking lot daring each other to throw the first punch and feinting attacks, while nobody does anything. Russia, for instance, probed South Korean airspace earlier today multiple times with strategic bombers.Because of course, we all know the Korean peninsula is not a super volatile space right now. It's not like China and North Korea are playing a tit for tat game with the United States and South Korea. Why don't we add Russia into the mix? Right?This probing of South Korean airspace by Russian bombers is just plain stupid. And it's not like it was a one-off mistake. They did it four times!!! The aircraft were TU-95 Bombers...maybe they weren't armed, maybe it was a mistake. Maybe it wasn't. Either way fighters were scrambled as is the protocol and warned the Russian aircraft to leave the KADIZ (Korean Air Defense Identification Zone). But they kept coming back! Assholes!

With all of these feints and these posturing moves, it's only a matter of time before someone crosses the line and does something unintentionally stupid. We doubt that with the current status of the world that anyone wants to initiate the start of World War 3 (we'd most certainly win, Mattis is Lord of War). But as with all posturing, add in the human element and someone might push the limits too far and someone panics, and boom! Now we have World War 3.Russia and China need to cool their jets, because as badass as they think they are. Provoking the United States is not exactly the smart move right now. Any war they engaged in would rely heavily upon the naval forces of all countries involved and well, Russia and China's navies would get wrecked by ours. Make no mistake, there would be a ton of casualties on both sides.[caption id="attachment_18122" align="alignnone" width="750"]
