  1. Russia, China and North Korea desperately want Americans to fear nuclear war and vote for Trump who will give the entire world to them if they stroke his ego.

  2. I always wonder what these meetings are like.

    “OK, we’re gonna launch a several million dollar missile. But not to hit anyone, we’re just gonna fire it into the ocean in order to demonstrate that we could.”

    I’m sure they have fancy euphemisms they use to feel cooler about it.

    Of all of the geopolitical media over the past few years, the rising tensions in the Asian Pacific is the scariest: China trying to choke trade routes in the South China Sea, becoming more aggressive with it’s unwarranted territorial claims, eating up Taiwanese resources with territorial incursions, pulling countries like Cambodia and Laos into its power vacuum, challenging territorial claims in Northern India, and more are eventually going to spill over into a regional conflict that will change the power balance of the world.
