#1 Again, IMO Russia fears or knows a war for PLA-centric strategic access is likely to occur in the near future, moreso given China's response vee the PLA agz the Bammer's moves in the South China Sea, e.g. the new basing or forward deployment of Chinese PLAN nuclear submarines in waters claimed by US Allies + China's new demand that Taiwan assert or accede to a deadline for formal reunificaion wid the mainland. Russia in particular fears a Sino-Nippon battle for control of Sakhalin.

The Bammer + OWG Globalist agenda of taking no action = so-called "Minimalism" in any US direct action ala Foreign Policy is more likely than not to carry over into the Post-Bammer successor POTUS Admin NO MATTER WHOM WINS THE 2016 POTUS NOMINATION + ELECTION.

POTUS HILLARY'S "STATUS QUO", OR POTUS TRUMP'S "US ALLIES MUST PAY FOR US SECURITY/DEFENSE", MAMA RUSSIA KOWS CINA WANTS ITS STRATEGIC ACCESS FOR THE PLA IN THE EAST CHINA SEA = NE ASIA.

#3 It's breakfast without Coca-Cola,
Or parlour with no Pianola,
Trans men without boobies,
And idols sans rubies:
A Burg without Joe Mendiola.
