#5 OOOOPPPPPP, forgot DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > [Reuters] CHINA SEES NO BASIS FOR TALKS WID JAPAN ON ISLANDS DISPUTE.

Yuh-oh.

Iff Maha-Rushian histoire' ala CHINA is any measure, NUKE-ARMED CHINA MAY BE GETTING READY TO OPEN FIRE ON NON-NUKE ARMED JAPAN [Philippines = SCS?] SOONER THAN LATER.

POssibly before October???

"Perfect STorm" for the Bammer + his alleged anti-US, Marxist-Anarchist-Globalist agenda.

The good news for US + Japan + PHIL, ASEAN is that China's ace has historically been its ground forces - this means that China may subjectively/broadly restrict itself to waging LIMITED WARS [Conventinal? TacNuke?] WIDIN RANGE OF ITS LAND-BASED LR AIR, BALLISTIC FIREPOWER.

The bad news is that iff the Bammer is indeed adhereing to the Globalist agenda, includ its precept of a "Multipolar" World where there are MULTIPLE GLOBAL SUPERPOWERS-LEADERS, then by this scope the Bammer = USA may deliberately
PCorrectly-Deniably "lose" agz Rising China in East Asia + PACOAS; + fail to stop Nuke-Armed Iran includ Iran-led OWG Caliphate [Global Islamic Superpower]???

Lest we fergit, POLITICS = MARKETING/SALES-N-ADVERTISING = "HUMAN BEHAVIOR BY OTHER MEANS" = GETTING END-USERS OR CONSUMERS TO ACCEPT OR BUY, ETC. WHAT IS NOT NECESSARILY GOOD FOR THEM OR THEIR INTERESTS.

#7 Irans the wild card.

Lose Syria and they will lose Iraq within a year or so, as the Jihadis move on.

A nuclear attack on Israel is a possibility.

#13 MOSCOW, August 27 (RIA Novosti) – A firebrand Russian nationalist-turned-senior official said Tuesday that the West was acting in the Islamic world like a “monkey with a hand grenade.”

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, Russia’s former envoy to NATO, did not elaborate on his comparison, made on his Russian-language Twitter page.
