Germany, Italy, Japan, and the USSR were just upgrading their obsolete military in 1938, both claiming for defensive requirements. Nothing wrong with that. Until Germany and the USSR invaded Poland and then the USSR invaded Finland, Lithuania, Bessarabia, etc, for defensive purposes, nothing wrong with that.
Unfortunately, the allies got tired of playing along with Hitler when it was too late, nothing wrong with that. Iran and North Korea are just updating their military and their nuclear arsenals, nothing worng with that either, they're cool people and Chinese allies. Sadam Hussein was updating his military supposedly to defend himself from Iran, nothing wrong with that, until he invaded Kuwait and threatened Arabia. Does it take a lot of insight to conclude that people who are not threatened and spend excessively in weapons probably intend to use them? |

I am not an expert on the 1979 armed conflict between China and Vietnam, however I understand that the Chinese numbers were impressive but they were weak on the battle-field thus feeding the impression that they're good on massive long parades and spit & polish, but less skilled and disciplined in combat.
A lot of their warships have fake technology bolted to their ships to give the impression they have similar radar, etc, but it's all show. This is not to say they won't have good technology in the future, but China, like Nth Korea, is all show (for now anyway). |
