... the PLAN's evolving strategy has been described in terms of two distinct phases. The strategy's first phase is for the PLAN to develop a "green water active defense strategy" capability. This "green water" generally is described as being encompassed within an arc swung from Vladivostok to the north, to the Strait of Malacca to the south, and out to the "first island chain" (Aleutians, Kuriles, Ryukyus, Taiwan, Philippines, and Greater Sunda islands) to the east. Analysts have assessed that the PLAN is likely to attain this green water capability early in the 21st century. Open-source writings also suggest that the PLAN intends to develop a capability to operate in the "second island chain" (Bonins, Guam, Marianas, and Palau islands) by the mid-21st century. In the future, the PLAN also may expand its operations to bases in Myanmar, Burma. These bases will provide the PLAN with direct access to the Strait of Malacca and the Bay of Bengal. ... |

| #1 Socialism in any form is inherently expansive due to its penchant for achieving anti-efficient, alleged economies-of-scale. The Sraits of Malacca comprises the bulk of [profitable]maritime trade routes between the Americas and South/SouthWest Asia, Indian Ocean, and East Africa. These island chains is just an alibi for what the Commies really want - GLOBAL HEGEMONY, of which East Asia and the preservation of Mackinder's World Island is only the springboard. Remember, America and AMericans by 9-11 were given only two choices to make - accept Socialism and Socialist OWG/NWO, i.e. COMMUNISM; or be militarily attacked and obliterated circa 2020. America either goes down "peacefully" thru internal Socialist evolution via alleged GLOBAL EMPIRE and GLOBAL REGULATION, to be usurped Clinton-style by Commie Asia, or it will go down in pieces. America's choice is to be either DEAD or a LIVING SLAVE to the rampaging killing, looting, pillaging, raping, burning, city/town-storming Barbarian-Bandit hordes and armies of antiquity. THE FAILED/ANGRY LEFT has got no plan beyond achieving anti-democratic global domination via Mackinder's World Island - Iff SOCIALISM doesn't work, the answer is MORE SOCIALISM, iff Mackinder doesn't work, MACKINDER shall and must still rule! THE LEFTIES ARE FIGHTING FOR POWER, POWER FOR THE SAKE OF POWER, NOT SOCIAL IMPROVE MENT, EQUALITY, TOLERANCE, OR PROGRESS! The Meat-eating T-Rexes can't survive without the plant-eating Dinos - America has the Commie Clintons, etal. from within, and the anti-American agendists from without demanding alleged global justice against America, Americanism, DemCapitalism, and alleged American Imperialism in case the Clintons fail, i.e. CAN AMERICA'S ARMIES AND ECONOMY TRULY STAND AND DEFEAT BOTH RUSSIAN AND CHICOM NUKES, ETAL. AND THE INFANTRY FROM OF ALL THE WORLD, ala GEORGE WASHINGTON. PROPHECY, the 300 Bushite Republican Spartans versus Commie Xerxes and his Milyuhn and Zilyuhn -man Army(s) of Asia at the Pass, the Thermopylae of Thermopylaes!? The Charge of the Light Brigade, into the Little Big Horn and Glory-y-y-y, "...NOBLE/GLORIOUS 600", "LOOK AT HEAVEN'S SCENE... FIND THE STREETS ARE GUARDED, BY REAGAN AND UNITED STATES MARINES!? |
