#3 What do they think Moscow is going to do, espec given ...

* TOPIX, DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > RUSSIA IS NO LONGER A SUPERPOWER: WHITE HOUSE.

WH PressSec Josh Stuart.

Russia is ranked #15 in the World, wid an economy "somewhere behind Spain's"???

VERSUS

1960's-1970's Guam Taotamonas = 2015, Ex-Sole-Superpower-Soon-to-Be-One-of-Many-OWG-Co-Superpowers Amerika may NOT be that far behind???

* LUCIANNE > [IBD.com] AMERICA'S WEAKENING MILITARY STRENGTH IS TERRIFYING.

* TOPIX > [Heritage Fdn.] REPORT: US MILITARY STRENGTH IN DEEP DECLINE AS THREATS RISE.

Iff people think that the Pert, MSM-Net verified
"weak/declining" USA can't or won't use Advanced Miltechs to sink GUAM + OTHER PACIFIC ISLANDS in "A2/AD" = "ANTI-ACCESS/AREA-DENIAL" indignation as it retreats or falls back across the Pacific + World in order to deny the Islands' utility to China + PLA, andor Nuclear Islam, but espec vee China, HAD BETTER THINK AGAIN.

[BART SIMPSON = "THINK HARDER, HOMER"! here].

#4 OOOOOPPPPSIES, my bad, forgot to add DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > US MUST ACCOMODATE CHINA'S POWER IN THE ISLANDS DISPUTE - OR BE WILLING TO PAY A HIGH PRICE | HUGH WHITE - HUFFINGTON POST.

* IIRC FREEREPUBLIC, TOPIX > [Why] SHOULD WE [US] FIGHT[China] FOR THE SPRATLYS???

Which do OWG Amerikans prefer - US AS SOLE WORLD SUPERPOWER, OR THE US AS ONE OF SEVERAL OR MANY JOINT OR CO-SUPERPOWERS???

PRE-WW2 SOLE SUPERPOWER GREAT BRITAIN + WORLD-DOMINATING ROYAL NAVY; OR POST-WW2, POST-COLD WAR IN-THE-PROCESS-OF-BREAKING-UP GREAT BRITAIN + ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON/LOCAL COAST GUARD FKA EX-WORLD-DOMINATING ROYAL NAVY???
