>> the Pacific Fleet has been fully outfitted for war <<

JG,
Just spoke w/ a co-worker, ex-military. He's of the impression all the military movements are nothing more than sending China a message to calm down and back off.

I'm not entirely convinced of this point of view, but he could be right. Maybe we're sending the world a message: Hit us again and you won't live to be sorry.

One more thing. I've started to notice the GWEN towers you've spoken of in previous posts. Thank you for opening my eyes to that. I think it's a very good situational indicator. The tower this morning was flashing white. That's a good sign, right?

I hope so- but then again, aren't we getting to the brink with Iran's nuclear ambitions?

Don't the levels of military movements seem like overkill, in relation to potential conflicts between Taiwan- China alone?

Does he think the Russians are also sending a signal to China?
