#1  ION NOT NECESSARILY UNRELATED ...

* DAILY TIMES.PK > CHINA EYES NEXT [manned]LUNAR LANDING [circa 2030] AS US SCALES BACK.

As said times before, POTUS BAMMER = USA SHOULD GO BACK TO THE MOON + BEYOND IFF HE WANTS TO PROMOTE, DEV "GREEN TECHS" AS PROFITABLE VIABLE INDUSTRIES IN RELACEMENT OF FOSSIL FUELS.

Mama Russia has unused Space Shuttles which can be refurbished to US/NASA-standard + used to keep our Astronauts proficient in their space skills.

-----------------

As for the DF-41 ICBM, IMO by this move + follow-up China is all but absolut guranteeing that Japan + other US Allies in Asia will, sooner than later, get their own Nukes???

* TOPIX > [WSJ.com] US MISSLE SHIELD SEEN AS STOKING CHINA'S FEARS.

US Officios didn't help things by publicly stating that while the BMD focii is agz North Korea, it can be used to counter China, which China interpreted as "will be used".

* CHINA DAILY FORUM > [NY Post] CAN THE US FIGHT THREE WARS? Iran, Syria, + China in South China Sea.

* WORLD NEWS > JAPAN BLOCKS LANDING [by Tokyo Metro group] ON DISPUTED ISLAND [Japan Senkakus = Chinese Daoyus] TO DIFFUSE CHINA TENSION.

Ishihara, etal. not giving up widout a fight.

* WORLD NEWS > "CHINA WANTS TO MAINTAIN INSTABILITY IN NE INDIA ", to minimize or keep Indjuh out of Myanmar + Indian Ocean Region.

* WORLD MILITARY FORUM > [Global Times - Commentary] SINO-JAPANESE WAR WILL WASH AWAY THE SHAME OF [over] A CENTURY [100-plus years].

Chinese national humiliation since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 to the rape of Nanking + WW2, to post-war Japan ally the US = US Navy Aircraft Carrier TFS preventing Maoist China from taking back Taiwan back in the late 1950's.

* SAME > [Okinawa]RYUKYU INDEPENDENCE IS THE ONLY WAY TO SETTLE DAOYU ISLANDS ISSUE.

* SAME > [Sino-Japanese] WAR SEEMS IMMINENT OVER DAOYU ISLANDS | DAOYUS SLOWLY SLIDES/MOVES ITO THE CROSSHAIRS.

SOvereignty is the specific issue, unfettered or unopposed CPLA access from NE Asia into NORPAC, WESTPAC + Chinese "post-US" "future World#1" "Manifest Destiny" is the prize.

* TOPIX > [Pravda] PAKISTAN CAN MAKE RUSSIA [new]QUEEN OF ASIA, as US-PAK relations continue to detriorate espec [vee strategic corridors/
accesses to the Indian Ocean].

BALOCHISTAN, MY BALOCHISTAN.

ARTIC = Russia can be allowed by Pakistan to take over the Milbases + related in Pak left by the US after 2014.

IMO Pakistan recognizes it needs Russia + already BFF China, etc. to make up for any decrease in levels of pro-Pak $$$ spending by the US due to its final withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2014.
