#2 Yep. Major message.

The 1st Korean War may well have been lost without the help of the remnants of the Japanese merchant fleet and airfields.

#3 Hu's sorry now? You just had to use Kim to try to tie up the US.

#4 If the Chinese Government isn't saying "Oh Shit" right about now, they're incompetent.

#5 Hmmm. Let's go over that with care. We've got 30,000+ troops in SKor now. We've got some still in Okinawa, but supposedly being relocated in large measure to Guam. Does this signal a prelude to removal of units from Korea finally ? And some justification to Japanese homeland that continued US presence is going to be required ?

#6 If they could tie in the Philppines and maybe Vietnam and Thailand, China would be sh$$$ing little golden apples about now. The Australia-India-US axis already is worrying Beijing, and it could expand. It may not be exactly like the "Cold War", but it's getting close. The next thing the US needs to do is to greatly increase its mine warfare capability (both minelaying and minesweeping), and share it with Taiwan, Japan, Australia, and India.

I'd like to nominate John Bolton as next Secretary of State.

#8 When Russia + Chinas say or infer that War agx the USA , AND ONLY THE USA, is not only possible = realistic BUT DESIRED, NEAR BY or SHORTLY AFTER YEAR 2020, one of their meanings is THAT A DECADES-LONG "NEW COLD WAR" IS NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE/TOLERABLE, regardless of the PC-speak. IS WHY THE LEFTISTS, SECULARISTS, ANARCHISTS, ALTERNATISTS, GOVERNMENTISTS, COMMIES-SOCIALISTS and TOTALITARIANISTS ETC. ARE PUSHING HARD NOW TO GET THEIR DOMESTIC AGENDAS INTO LAW. Any so-called NEW COLD WAR is between NOW and 2020, becuz after that ALL GLOVES, I.E. PEACE =PSUEDOPEACE, ARE OFF. Remember, CLINTONISM > HATED DESPICABLE US NAZIS-FASCISTS = also WELL-MEANING BUT ERRORFUL LIMITED COMMUNISTS. Iff the WOT > how to stop "Fascist' ALLEGED BULLY/BRUTISH ARROGANT Amerika, then is by definition a WAR AGZ "LIMITED COMMUNISM" IN FAVOR OF FULL/TOTAL COMMUNISM, a WAR AGZ "IN YOUR FACE" IN FAVOR OF "THEY WHOM MUST NOT BE NAMED/SEEN/HEARD BUT MUST BE OBEYED".

#9 TAIWAN > CHINA may be modernizing, but it still calles itself Communist and has NOT given up its ambitions for anti-US/WESTERN, China-centric Asian-Pacific hegemony. IOW, unlike the icy/cold-eyes of the USSR during the Cold War, China per se WANTS TO KILL US QUICKLY BUT WARMLY AND POLITELY. THEY LOVE YA, MAN, ERGO WE MUST DIE.
