one well placed bomb. . .
Not that I think nukes are the answer. but these days, the number of soldiers isn't as important as technology and intell.

Agreed. I don't believe they are an immanent threat to us. But our kids may have to deal with them.
And although I think its unlikely they would invade North America, the Mid East and Europe may have to deal with them sooner that they'd like.
Yup!! In world war 2 the Japanese commander said no one could ever invade America because there's a gun in every house hold. Looks like we're bring disarmed and dismantled from within.

True. These guys are probly good bro's, but I highly doubt they're going to take on the Chinese army to defend our allies and interests abroad.
A common mistake arrogant Americans make is thinking we're invincible.

you're coming back to the right side
oh I believe in gun ownership both you and bigassturd know there is enough cooks in Texas and Georgia that not everyone should own a fucking assault weapon.
Oh I agree...
But define 'assault weapon'

That is true. And its a good thing. So would I so would you. But if it comes down to American citizens fighting Chinese military in our neighborhoods, its all bad. And this isn't the movies were talking about here. Plus by the time something like this were to happen our kids may not have the guns to fight with.
Bring those little fuckers to the piney woods and cut them loose, see how long they last.

Print and fire: 3D printing could muzzle new gun laws
Gun owners who can't buy high capacity ammo magazines because of new laws have another option: Print them.
Gun control measures passed or proposed in the wake of the Sandy Hook school massacre have targeted magazines that can feed 30 rounds or more into the firing chambers of AR-15s and other semi-automatic guns. New York has banned magazines holding more than seven rounds, and a federal bill proposed by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., would ban magazines holding more than 10 rounds.
But the laws are at least one step behind technology. Using 3D printers and schematics available on the Internet, gun owners can manufacture a fully functional, plastic magazine clip. Plans are free, although getting access to a 3D printer may prove expensive, at least for now.
“If you can download it, you can have it.”
- Cody Wilson, Defense Distributed/Wiki Weapons Project
“If you can download it, you can have it,” said University of Texas law student Cody Wilson, who is part of Defense Distributed, a group that has created the design for what they refer to as a “Cuomo Clip” along with other gun parts. It is all under an initiative they refer to as the Wiki Weapon Project.
“It’s basically to head them [legislators] off at the pass, which we have,” Wilson added, noting that “hundreds of thousands” of visitors have gone to his group's site to download the CAD file for the ammo magazine since it was first posted in mid-January.
The “Cuomo Clip,” named for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who pushed the high-capacity clip ban through the Legislature, is made from a plastic filament similar to the type of material used to manufacture LEGO building blocks. It is also loaded with a large spring that helps to push rounds of ammo into the gun chamber.
The ammo magazine clip appears to be durable; Defense Distributed test-fired 86 rounds from a 30-round prototype last month, and the clip showed no signs of damage.
The cutting edge technology, in which three-dimensional objects can be manufactured from melted plastic thread, is likely to complicate efforts to control firearms. No such ability existed in 1994, when large-capacity clips were first banned in an initial federal assault weapons ban that lasted a decade.
Although the new ban proposed by Feinstein would prohibit the manufacture of magazines, it focuses on traditional arms makers and sellers. How the law might be enforced against individuals making their own magazines -- and possibly even guns in the future -- is unclear.
Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., has called for amending the Undetectable Firearms Act of 1988, which initially sought to ban guns that could be sneaked through metal detectors, to include a ban on “homemade, 3-D printed, plastic high-capacity magazines."
“Congress passed a law banning plastic guns for two decades when they were just a movie fantasy," Israel told FoxNews.com. "With the advent of 3-D printers, these guns are suddenly a real possibility, and the law Congress passed is set to expire this year.
“We should act now to give law enforcement authorities the power to stop the development of these weapons before terrorists and criminals can easily bring them on planes. We need to be proactive and keep ahead of the technology. When the legislation was originally passed in 1988, no one would have imagined that parts of a gun and a magazine could be made with a printer — imagine what the technology will be even five years down the road.”
Defense Distributed and the Wiki Weapons Project also has made schematics of other parts of the AR-15 and other weapons and modifications, including pistol grips, but has avoided attempting to design and distribute plans for a fully-functional gun.

We actually just ran some FDM master patters for some of those new 80% complete AR15 lower receivers. People buy them unregistered with the mag well and trigger slot sealed up, then they take them to a machine shop and get it milled out, then black anodized and you've got yourself a brand new AR lower receiver.
This takes spam to a whole new level-

Air Force confirms Russian jets circled US territory of Guam

Read more: Air Force confirms Russian jets circled US territory of Guam | Fox News
The Air Force confirms that two Russian bombers on Tuesday circled the U.S. island territory of Guam, prompting U.S. jets to scramble and respond.
Two U.S. Air Force F-15 fighter aircraft, operating out of Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, intercepted the Russian Tu-95 bomber aircrafts, which left in a northbound direction, said military spokeswoman Capt. Kim Bender.
Bender said no further action was taken but declined to give more details, citing security reasons.
The incident occurred shortly before President Obama delivered his State of the Union address, as reported first by The Washington Free Beacon.
The newspaper also said the Russian bombers were equipped with nuclear-tipped cruise missiles.
The F-15s were participating in an annual exercise, Cope North, on Andersen AFB. They are stationed at the 18th Wing, Kadena Air Base, Japan, the military said.
Pacific Command forces are there to ensure air warning and control over Hawaii, Guam, and the U.S. interests in the area. PACOM maintains fighters on alert to respond quickly to any potential air threats within the Pacific area of operations, Bender said.

Russian nuclear bombers intercepted near Guam
By Jim Miklaszewski and Courtney Kube, NBC News
Two Russian bombers, capable of carrying nuclear cruise missiles, circled the U.S. island of Guam in the Western Pacific this week, U.S. military officials told NBC News. U.S. Air Force F-15 jets scrambled from Andersen Air Force Base on Guam to intercept the bombers.
According to one military official, the Russian Bear bombers remained in international airspace, the encounter between the U.S. and Russian aircraft “stayed professional” and there was no incident. The official said it’s impossible to determine whether the Russian bombers carried any nuclear weapons.
Follow @NBCNewsWorld
U.S. long-range radars and satellites tracked the two bombers as they took off from northeastern Russia and headed south on a long-range flight that required “multiple refueling.” Japan also scrambled fighter jets as the bombers passed near but did not enter Japanese airspace.
U.S. military officials say “it’s highly unusual but not unprecedented” that Russian bombers would fly training missions in the vicinity of Guam. According to one official, “It wasn’t provocative but it certainly got our attention.” U.S. long-range B-52 bombers, also capable of carrying nuclear weapons, are based at Guam.
Since Vladimir Putin reclaimed the Russian presidency, U.S. officials said the number of such flights in the vicinity of the Aleutian Islands and Alaska have increased, but encounters with U.S. aircraft have remained “generally very professional.”
The two Russian Bear bombers flew near Guam at about the same time President Barack Obama delivered his State of the Union message. Military officials refused to speculate about the timing.
The interception was first reported in the Washington Free Beacon.

I had a military customer this week. He seemed like a pretty level headed guy. Didn't strike me as a moron. In the coarse of conversation he said his unit had to fly out for sub zero training. My co-worker asked him, "where in the hell would you guys ever be fighting where it would be that cold?" The guy promptly replied, "Russia and N. Korea, which is more and more likely?"
My co-worker just sat there with a confounded look on his face, clueless. I just smiled and continued doing paperwork cause I didn't want to get into it for fear I would start ranting.
Russia-US tensions rise over adoption row
21 Feb 2013 11:41
The US ambassador to Moscow and a top Russian lawmaker have traded over the death of a Russian child adopted in the United States, in a row that threatens to overshadow upcoming talks between Russian officials and the US secretary of state.
The emotionally-charged exchange on Thursday came after US ambassador Michael McFaul refused to show up in the Russian parliament's lower house to answer questions about recent deaths of Russian children adopted by American parents.
"By refusing to come to the State Duma to discuss the deaths of our children the US ambassador has shown that they are not ready for a serious dialogue on this problem," Alexei Pushkov, the head of the Duma committee on
international affairs, wrote on Twitter.
McFaul countered that he was "always happy" to meet Russian officials to discuss adoptions but would not do so in parliament.
"As a norm, US ambassadors to not participate in hearings of foreign parliaments," he tweeted. "Do Russian ambassadors?"
Since Putin's return to the Kremlin for a third term in May, Russia and the United States have been at odds over a growing number of issues.
Late last year, Russia banned all adoptions by American parents, a measure that came in reprisal for US legislation that targets Russian officials deemed to have committed rights abuses.
Rising tensions
Tensions flared again earlier this week over the January death in the United States of a 3-year-old Russian boy, Maxim Kuzmin, with Russian investigators saying the boy was murdered by his adoptive American mother.
The boy's death will be among key topics of a meeting next week between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and new US Secretary of State John Kerry, the foreign ministry's human rights envoy Konstantin Dolgov told Russian lawmakers on Thursday.
If the ongoing investigation proves that the US parents murdered their adoptive Russian son, they will be severely punished, he said in comments posted on the website of the ruling United Russia party.
"They will not be released in court as it happened before, it will not be a five or two years' suspended sentence. It will be an adequate, severe punishment," Dolgov was quoted as saying.
Some officials have recently raised the prospect of Russia banning all foreign adoptions in the future and even bringing back home the Russian orphans already adopted by American parents and living in the United States.

Senkaku clash could draw in U.S.: think tank
KYODO
WASHINGTON – The United States “could become directly involved in a military conflict” between Tokyo and Beijing over the Senkaku Islands, the Congressional Research Service said in a report.
Its report on Japan-U.S. relations said that “China has conducted increasingly aggressive operations by dispatching both military and maritime law enforcement ships and aircraft to the area” since Tokyo bought part of the islets from a private owner last September.
China’s locking of weapons-targeting radar on a destroyer near the islets was “considered a major escalation in the standoff,” the congressional think tank said.
The incident also “sparked questions about whether the Chinese operator was acting on orders from Beijing, military commanders, or his own discretion,” it said. China has denied the use of weapons-targeting radar.
