Capt James Fanell is the person that started me on the path of watching China...

You ever wonder why I focus like a laser on China's military advancement/buildup?  Its because I watched the above video.  Let me save you some grief.  Skip all of it except the presentation by Capt James Fanell.

Why am I doing this?  I got this comment from Dirt McGirt

Oh no! The Chinese make me so fraid, so scared! They kick our butt so quickk with imaginary drone that can do many good things and US knockoff radar that can see steatch everything from 1241215 miles away!
Stalin and Mao would like you Solomon, you believe enemy propaganda very easily.

I'm not picking on McGirt, simply using him as a training aid to inform my readers.

Capt Fanell gave a no nonsense, actual and factual brief on the threat posed by a rapidly arming China.  Unfortunately the Chinese weren't pleased and they were successful in having a US Naval Officer, at the time the Director of Intelligence and Information Operations in the Pacific, removed from office.

Capt Fanell paid the price for informing the public of the threat.

Moral courage of the highest order.

So yeah McGirt and all my other readers that think like him....I'm focused on China and while I only have access to open source material, I'll continue to try and inform anyone who'll listen about a potential threat.
