I had to read this twice to understand what you were saying.

Dude, Chinese gamers are not the most informed when it comes to the country's long term plans.

China will not help North Korea in a present day war. In the case of a war that North Korea cannot win (basically any case), they'd likely invade North Korea itself to take what they can rather than let us take the whole thing.

Remember that China has a higher chance of attacking American allies rather than US forces directly. Dispersal bases allow for quick response and assistance to our allies.

Also, nuclear deterrence is already in place on both sides. China has a good number of nukes and even though the US has around ten times more ICBMs than the PRC, it's enough to deter any nuclear attack from both sides.

You're stating that if, say, the USSR hypothetically hit a carrier with an non-nuclear ICBM in the Cold War, the best response would be to hit back on civilian populations with a nuclear ICBM and hope they don't hit our civilian centers in kind? That kinda undermines the whole purpose of strategic deterrence.

The other guy didn't think he should respect the commander-in-chief as an active duty soldier. This is different.

The YouTube comments on these videos make my brain hurt.

Apparently everyone's either convinced we're going to war ("ww3", "get ready america"), or that the government's going to crack down on us ("have fun with obamas regime", "look at fema preparing"). Also, don't forget the die-hard Ron Paul supporters ("RP2012") who believe he's the only chance of preventing the previous two scenarios. Ironically, he supports domestic military buildup, and a routine redeployment like this is something he'd prefer than an overseas airlift. Not that I'm advocating him (his fans turn me off).

Hate to burst your bubble, but Reagan's policies were fine for the Cold War world, not now, when our biggest military rival also happens to be our biggest economic counterpart.

How awesome of you to evaluate a newly refurbished aircraft carrier based on looks! The CIA should hire you, because you seem to be able to tell whether something's good or not by just looking at lo-res pictures of it!

Bort, you should be surprised that NATO didn't kill Gadhafi in the months since the UN resolution.
