Are we witnessing the harbingers of the next Great Pacific War? Or do we have nothing to worry about?

Although he is not a spokesman for the US Navy or the government, Paul Chardoul is a retired Commander in the US Naval Reserve and a retired history professor who is trained in international relations, diplomatic and military history, and geopolitics. Using the available information on the Chinese and American militaries, which includes their respective capabilities and deficiencies, national intentions, and other variables – some of which can be manipulated – Paul will present his interpretation of this information to help answer the question…Will there be a Great Pacific War?

Part one of this three-part series will cover Chinese intentions, capabilities, and deficiencies. 

We hope to see you! Please feel free to bring a prospective member, guest, or a conspiracy theorist.
