It is definitely time for President Trump to play the “Russia card” against China.
Together with strong and rapidly increasing trade sanctions, this would be part of the encirclement of China, in which Taiwan, Japan and India are also essential, along with the Muslim “-stans”
That leaves the South China Sea as the absolute center of conflict.
This has been the most predictable crisis for several decades (and many have predicted it). China has little or no oil or other raw materials; so, the question is whether or not the U.S. still has the power to interdict the shipping lanes.
Thanks!
if the kids are told to stay away from that turkey!.
Exactly, my old pup, once long ago ate all the left over turkey.
it is so sickening we (USA) were sold out
Soitainly.
Meanwhile, it looks like Beirut is having some peaceful protests over the big boom.
If Cankles the Cackler is involved, she will vacuum up campaign money faster than coke going up Bubba's nose!
I think this teaser was posted upthread. Looks interesting...

The biggest Wall Street name associated with China has always been Goldman Sachs (though many others have jumped on board).
In the 1990s, Goldman was known as the "Democrat" investment bank, back when it was believed Wall Street was generally "Conservative."
China made many legally binding commitments in order to be voted into the WTO in 2000, the last year of Clinton administration.
They have since VIOLATED ALMOST ALL THESE LEGAL COMMITMENTS, but were given a pass by Presidents W. Bush and Zero.
I suspect that in his 2nd term, President Trump will put an end to the WTO fiasco ... one of the reasons China is so desperate to defeat him that they risked hitting the U.S. with an election-year biological "Weapon of mass destruction."
I likey :)
So what/who is issuing this insanely evil version of “Your papers!”? NY state?
And, yet I did that a lot.
Bonus was picking out the condiments from your shirt after the meal.

and I hear they are also threatening some of Japan’s islands...
OK, I was looking for something to get my attention...
THAT got my attention!
I’m concerned they may do more ...

I used to be concerned about EMP with NK in regards to possible role USA may play in last days scenarios ... but we know (believe) Kim is no longer under absolute DS control. Now China enters the picture ... I do have to say, though ... I have an anxious feeling about this. TBD + WWG1WGA! Maranatha :)
Okay. But what else, I wonder. Just taking peoples’ money early?
Thanks for that explanation. Makes total sense to me to eliminate it entirely.
Do you doubt we do?

Senkaku Islands. China has them surrounded now.
Everything in the South China Sea has to do with China desiring to protect their supply lines (understandable, actually) and the U.S. deciding whether to use force to maintain our Naval control over same, which we have essentially enjoyed since WWII.
Americans need to decide in 2020 whom we choose to be in the next phase of history: WINNERS, or LOSERS.
