China opened its first overseas military base, or as it calls them "logistic hub," in Djibouti last year and there have been credible reports, analysts note, that more are on the way. According to reports, a base is under serious consideration near Gwadar Port in Pakistan, and another along the east coast of Africa, notes David Brewster, a senior analyst with the National Security College at Australian National University.

A bad day is coming in the future between and America and the ChiComs.

And I fear it will get all sorts of out of control.

VERY THANKFUL that A bombs saved half a million American soldiers’ lives

Not so thrilled that there are thousands upon thousands of them out there now.

Though they likely were the reason a war or two was averted.

What sick irony.

The Maldives [...] is also seen by analysts as a key strategic outpost in the Indian Ocean, despite because of its close proximity to India.

There, fixed it!

Seriously: Who writes this stuff?!
