#1 "US Retreats as China invades Northern Luzon, advances in Pacific/WESTPAC" [Bombs Japan?] > OOOOOPPPSSSSIES, MY BAD.

As per LUCIANNE + Investors Business Daily [IBD.com], the Bammer says that RUSSIA = VLAD PUTIN is N-O-T "Leading" or being a "Good Leader" in Syria iff doing so MAKES RUSSIA'S ECONOMY WORSE + GETTING RUSSIAN TROOPS INVOLVED OR MIRED IN SYRIAN + MIDDLE EAST AFFAIRS VEE GWOT = FIGHT AGZ ISIS/ISIL.

True enuff, BUT OHHH-SOOOO-PCORRECT/DENIABLE AS THE BAMMER COULD SAY THE SAME THINGS TO PLACATE OR APPEASE MAINSTREAM/ORDINARY AMERIKA IFF A MAJOR US WAR BROKE OUT AGZ RISING CHINA ANDOR RISING IRAN IN EAST ASIA-WESTPAC + PERSIAN GULF, AS TO WHY THE US CAN'T DEFEND ITS ALLIES OR LIVE UP TO BINDING TREATY OBLIGATIONS WID SAME.

* TOPIX > [Washington Times} ISIS GROWS IN AFGHANISTAN, ENCROACHES ON KABUL AS US REMAINS A "PASSIVE OBSERVER".

* WORLD MILITARY FORUM > US MEDIAS: US CONFRONTATION WID CHINA MORE WORRISOME THREAT THAN RUSSIA'S INTERVENTION IN SYRIA.

TOLD YA [again again] - Sorry, but this time I'm going to have to demand ArrozCaldo wid my AM Donuts + Coffee.

* WASHINGTON POST > US NAVY TO CHINA: "WE WILL SEND OUR WARSHIPS ANYWHERE NEAR YOUR MAN-MADE ISLANDS [South China Sea] WHENEVER WE WANT".

Again, unfortunately for the USN's bravado, + US Regional Allies, its Anti-US US OWG Globalist POTUS Obama that will give the USN + USDOD any marching orders to go head-to-head = "butt horns" agz OWG Co-Superpowers China, Russia, + Iran, Etal.

OR, IN ALTERNATE, THE [Intentional = Deliberate]LACK OF MARCHING ORDERS AGZ SAME.

* WAFF > TURKEY IS NOW A THEATER [of Milpol/Geopol Confrontation] OF [between]THE WEST AND RUSSIA DISPUTE OVER SYRIA.

How many "Red Lines" can Amerika get for XMAS 2015 = New Year 2016 from the Bammer + Globalists???

* SPUTNIK > OBAMA'S TPP IS A GEO-STRATEGIC DEAL BETWEEN THE US + JAPAN TO CONTAIN CHINA.

* RELATED LUCIANNE >[IBD] OBAMA: TRUST ME - THE TPP AGREEMENT IS BETTER FOR THE US THAN PAST TRADE DEALS.

* Also from LUCIANNE, DRUDGEREPORT > LOUIS FARRAKHAN: AMERICA IS NOW UNDER THE DIVINE JUDGEMENT OF GOD, CALAMITIES ARE GOING TO GET STRONGER.

Iff what POTUS Obama says is true, then why did GOD + Madonna + Guam Taotamonas show the US in dark geopol retreat across East Asia-WESTPAC + World, + having to sink Guam + other strategic Pacific Isles vee Super-MilTech, etc. to deny their utility to China + Nuclear Islam, espec CHINA, "GUAM WILL CAPSIZE" = USN PEARL HARBOR BB USS "OKLAHOMA" WILL CAPSIZE AFTER THE JAPANESE - YOU KNOW, AMERICAN - ATTACK ON ITS OWN MILBASE [9-11 = NYC] BACK IN NOT-9-11 1941???

Ironically, PRO-"ANTI-WHITEY"-JIHAD-AGZ-AMERIKA LOUIS FARRKHAN may be more correct or realistic per Allan + DIvine Judgement, than the Bammer + No-Popular-Vote, Anti-Sovereign TPP.

* Lastly, TOPIX + LUCIANNE > THE NEXT GENERATION: ISIS PUSHES "BABY BOOM" TO SECURE CALIPHATE FUTURE.

Wehell, it is true that the future MUSLIM/ISLAMIC NUCLEAR NAPOLEON 2030-2050, from NOSTRADAMUS'
"Deepest part of the West", was a Baby himself once.

GOD = DEVIL'S ADVOCATE AL "LUCIFER/SATAN" PACINO
= "I DON'T DO THAT, KEVIN!", I.E. HE DOESN'T NEED TO TRICK PEOPLE TO GET THEM TO ENTRAP THEMSELVES OR TO DESTROY THEMSELVES.

EYES WIDE OPEN, NOT EYES WIDE SHUT.

#2 Ah yes, the Movie "PEARL HARBOR" wid Ben Affleck, Etal. where 1941 Amerika was Young, Dumb, + Communist but just didn't know it until the US tricked Japan into attacking the US' own Naval Base at Pearl.

#3 >Three unnamed US military officials claimed on Thursday that some cruise missiles fired from Russian ships at targets in Syria landed in Iran.


Perhaps they were booster parts?

#4 Years of NASA purchasing Russian RD-180 engines appears to have assisted the Russian missile development funding effort.

#5 "Strategic re-positioning?" Part of the Nobama phrasal idiomatic expression such as "Leading from behind."

#6 Strategi re-positioning for this president is placing the sand trap rake in front of the trap on #18.

#7 Besoeker: given that the cruise missiles crashed, maybe NASA provided technical assistance as well as funding?

#9 Regarding options 1, 2, and 3 in the article it seems to me 3 is the least likely. The US tends to send multiple carriers when they expect action.

Obama has given up on the ground so why bother having carriers. The chance of an 'accident' only goes up if we're in the area with no intent to seriously fight. O doesn't want the American people crying for blood when he has no intent of putting American troops into the middle east again.

#11 Obama knows he has lost on the world stage, but being the narcissist he is would never admit it. Let Putin do his thing in the middle east, the US isnt willing to do it under this administration , not to mention can't really afford it. Let someone else take the role an go back to isolationalism andet the shit take care of themselves. That goes with taking away all aid.
