China can Field an Army of 200 million men

this is written in the past tense

 

Most bible students would consider any events written in the book of Revelation after chapter 4 as yet to be fullfilled.

And since no army of 200 million men has yet crossed a dried up Euphrates river....and this is the first time in human history we have seen such a large army...

 

but Chinese dont believe in God

the worrying thing is attacks on Muslim lands by the Christian jihadists like Bush driven by AIPAC

all that is far more likely to start world war and the end of our planet

 

Except the Christians are not there to occupy and colonize, much unlike the Arab Jihad in the Middle east and Islamic Occupied India ( Pakistan)

 

I think the whole thing is bunk, but the pasage would make sense symbolically if china attacked the world.

China can field a 200 million man army, the entire middle east put together couldn't do that. Angels of the Apocalypse sent by Satan to bring the worlds end. a Chinese military expansionist oligarchy would be the same thing basically.

 

The Chinese don`t have to believe in god. A prophecy is a prophecy even if you don`t believe it (and even if it is bunk).

 

"The number of the mounted troops was two hundred million. I heard their number.

Not a foot soldier. (See Gibbon 4, pp.159, 161) 'The myriads of Turkish horse overspread a frontier of six hundred miles from Tauris to Arzeroum, and the blood of one hundred and thirty thousand Christians was a grateful sacrifice to the Arabian prophet.' (Gibbon 6, p. 12)"

The above excerpts are taken from http://www.4thewordofgod.com/chapter09.htm

So-called prophecies in the Bible and other holy books have been interpreted in various ways to suit the agenda and motives of various people especially in spreading disinformation and propaganda.

Saying that the so-called prophecy depicts China's invasion of the Middle East is certainly illogical and rubbish. If China wants to expands its territory, there are many better lands adjacent to it. It makes no sense to send 200 million soldiers on horseback all the way to the Middle East.

In this modern age, there is no need for "mounted troops" as stated in the Bible. Even for a backward country like Iran to start a war now, it will be a laughingstock for it to send "mounted troops". It just has to rain its missiles on its enemies. Hasn't it threatened to rain missiles on Israel if it comes under attack by the West?

Furthermore, it makes no sense for China to feed 200 million horses when it cannot afford to feed more than one child in every family of the country. Since your mind is filled with Biblical fantasies, you should start writing a 4 part series of novels set in a future where 200 million Chinese soldiers will be riding all the way across the Eurasian continent to the Middle East on 200 million horses. On the way they will be shot and sent falling to the ground like American natives in cowboy movies.

This fantasy will be more exciting than your 4 part series of novels "set in a future where america has been taken over by corporations and 2 brothers, one reactionary right and the other revolutionary left work together to overthrow the government and start a new one".

Grandpa thinkin' `bout movin' to China an' gettin' a blind date with Granny...

 

Either you don't know what you are talking about or you are having a nice time fooling around with your postings. The populations of the United States and Russia are approximately 310 million and 140 million. Those who claim that it makes any military and economic sense to have an army of 200 million (far exceeding the population of the largest country on earth) should have their heads examined.

Your thread should be posted in the "Humor & Satire" column.

China's army size is currently 2.3 million. Never in its 5000 years of history did China have a 200-million army. Neither will it be stupid enough to have army of such proportion in the future. It does not make any military and economic sense for any country to have an army of that size. Even if China could increase its army size a hundredfold, it is utterly foolish to do so in the Nuclear Age when quality, not quantity, counts as shown in the Six Days War.

Nowadays, a whole city can be wiped out by a nuclear bomb. A huge army will not only become cannon fodder to a small effective army, its maintenance is enough to bankrupt the whole country in no time.

Currently, China maintains an army of 2.3 million -- a far cry from the 200 million as claimed by some clowns and propagandists on the Internet.

Since the foundation of the PRC in 1949, the PLA has cut its staff nine times, from 6.2 million to the current level. In my opinion, unless one of those clowns and propagandists becomes the Chinese president, the future trend for the Chinese army will be a continuing decrease in size in tandem with its modernization.

The only country that comes close to the myth of a 200-million army is the USA where the right to own a gun and defend oneself is considered by its 310 -million population, especially those in the West and South, as a central tenet of the American identity

Following are excerpts from the article headlined "China to Maintain Army of 2.3 Million" at http://www.china.org.cn/english/government/116577.htm

(Begin excerpts)
The Chinese central government says China will maintain its army size of 2.3 million people.

The army will be restructured more efficiently and more elite officers will be trained. There will also be improvements made to military technology to boost combat efficiency.

Chen Zhou, a military expert, says in the modern era, safeguarding national peace depends on the quality of the army, not its size.

Since the foundation of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the People's Liberation Army has cut its staff nine times, from 6.2 million to the current level. (End excerpts)

Something a little birdie told you? Or did you reach this conclusion from logic?

 

This was said to checkmate India first and to deter NATO second, going back to 1971.

 

Have you forgotten the US army crossing the Euphrates in the early part of the US invasion of Iraq in 2003?

The prophecy in Revelation Chapter 9 might have already been fulfilled as shown by the following video clip at [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkQ-KK741Qo"]THE WAR IN IRAQ Euphrates Bridge Firefight - YouTube[/ame]

The USA, where guns are available to a population of 310 million, came very close to the Biblical description of the mounted troops of 200 million when it invaded Iraq in 2003.

Finally, just to remind you that the size of the Chinese army is 2.3 million, not 200 million which is an astronomical figure suited for fighting Star Wars against aliens in other planets, not against fellow mankind on this planet. If you have the chance to become the future president of China, you can try to increase the Chinese army's size to 200 million.

 

Granny wonderin' what dey gonna do with dat 200 million man army?...

US seeks 'transparency' in growth of Chinese military power
Dec 7, 2011, WASHINGTON: Amid growing uneasiness in the US over the rapid growth of Chinese military power, Washington on Tuesday asserted that Beijing has the right to develop its military but underlined the need for full "transparency".

 

we live in a world from now on where no major superpowers are actually going to fight a real war between eachother.... nukes have actually caused more peace then ever before in human history.

 

Since there aren't enough women in China I suspect those guys are going to screw each other. Necessity is the mother of invention.

 

We're not??

You're nuts. Do you think that our troops isolated in Iraq are all screwing each other?

I'm sure the people of China would shrug and keep their yellow noses to the grind stone?? Wouldn't 200 million dead troops mean that 400 millions parents would be really pissed off because the men take care of the parents??

If the Chinese were smart they would invade North Korea : Kill all the men and give the women to their men. Everybody would be happy. the NK women would have men able to provide food, the Chinese men would have women and the NK men wouldn't be hungry.

 

The following is the actual text of a speech delivered in December, 2005 by Comrade...Chi Haotian –the Vice-Chairman of China’s Military Commission to top officers
and generals.This was nowhere in the Western media...

This is how the General wrapped up his speech,full text here
http://www.rense.com/general85/ChinaSpeaks.pdf

"Biological weapons are unprecedented in their ruthlessness, but if the
Americans do not die then the Chinese have to die. If the Chinese people are
strapped to the present land, a total societal collapse is bound to take place.
According to the computations of the author of Yellow Peril, more than half of the
Chinese will die, and that figure would be more than 800 million people! Just after
the liberation, our yellow land supported nearly 500 million people, while today the
official figure of the population is more than 1.3 billion. This yellow land has
reached the limit of its capacity. One day, who know how soon it will come, the
great collapse will occur any time and more than half of the population will have to
go.
It is indeed brutal to kill one or two hundred million Americans. But that is the
only path that will secure a Chinese century, a century in which the CCP leads the
world. We, as revolutionary humanitarians, do not want deaths, But if history
confronts us with a choice between deaths of Chinese and those of Americans, we’d
have to pick the latter, as, for us, it is more important to safeguard the lives of the
Chinese people and the life of our Party."

 

Do you know who the most unfulfilled people are in China?

 

Its OK .2500 marines are going to be based in Australia and with the 30 000 strong Australian mititary Machine of International renown we should be capable ,we even have 3 frigates and 6 mighty subs that can be heard any where in the pacific ,so no problems the chinese are quivering in their boots ,only prob we don't have much ammunition.

bugger,i think i just became a South Asian !

lucky that Obama gives them the green light must be such relief to the Chinese Government ,and with nuclear Aircraft carriers the new pacific power is welcomed by Washington I think not!

 

From the way you describe, it looks like those guys are each armed with a very powerful weapon under their underwear. Beware, my dear obedient nephew and other US servicemen, if you meet those desperadoes on the battlefield!

 

Tell us what you know.

 

We shouldn't be worried about China. Pakistan is who we should be worried about.

 

Who is we ,every Nation is we the people verses them the stinking greedy Capitialist money pigs.We should n't be worried about China but them definitely should,Multi hundred million Working Class not peasantry.

 

He is American. Therefor "we" would seem to mean America. That really wasnt obvious to you?
