The tensil strength of materials can be tested in a lab.

I've always considered ASEAN an interest of China and Russia when it comes to building economics in the east Pacific. There are issues with Vietnam and the push by China into drilling wells along it's sovereign ocean borders.

But, ask yourself this. When has the escalation in tensions taken place? Easy one. Since the USA declared it's military focus to the Pacific. The USA sovereign ocean borders doesn't reach that far. There is only one reason a USA President speaks out for countries that are not allies and it isn't trade.

Vietnam, no different than any other country with tensions regarding islands in the Pacific; no matter it's location on the map; belong at the United Nations seeking sanctions to bring pressure to protect it's sovereignty. The UN needs to seek security of international waters.

The declaration of the Pacific as the USA focus is the equivalent of the Axis of Evil speech. As soon as it was stated the escalation of defenses in expectation of war began.

A superfast unmanned military plane (click here) traveled at 20 times the speed of sound and managed to control itself for three minutes before crashing into the Pacific Ocean in a recent test, military officials said. The prototype Falcon Hypersonic Technology Vehicle 2 (HTV-2), billed as the fastest aircraft ever built, splashed down in the Pacific earlier than planned on Aug. 11 shortly after launching from California's Vandenberg Air Force Base on its second-ever test flight. The HTV-2 experienced some sort of anomaly, prompting the vehicle's autonomous flight safety system to guide it to a controlled splashdown, according to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which oversaw the flight.

Mach 20? There is only one use for that aircraft. This is the kind of waste of USA taxpayer dollars that INCREASES tensions in the world. As some point in time the materials that are used to create this craft will vibrate apart. Is the USA in the market for testing material strength for the hell of it? It better not be.

The USA military has stated too many "Yes, Sir." with such a hideous weapon.

I can't imagine why the Sequester was overridden by a Republican majority Congress. If this is a Republican economic stimulus, there are bridges waiting. This simply goes to prove when the military is the focus of a country the people suffer, even in the First World. Now, about that national debt.
