But what do you call it when Russia participates in simulations of taking Taiwan, when China is developing a blue water Navy with Russian help, and they both support the Kim Dynasty? Maybe it's not an alliance, but it scares the hell out of me no matter what you call it.

The real threat is China. If you notice they are not spending one dime. Russia, the U.S. and G.B. are.

Nyquist and McAlvaney have screamed WOLF! more times than a PETA dimwit at Yellowstone.

Kim the younger is not nearly the bastard his old man was. As long as he has an adequate supply of Swedish Blondes and Scotch in Pyongyang, he should be content. It would also be a pretty neat trick to invade the south with troops that are being used as farm labor, and guards on foodstuffs (which has been the case since 1995). Numbers are nice, but you of all people should know that a military is more than a bunch of guys with rifles wearing the same clothes.

My advice to you Soldier (for what it is worth), is to worry about complete nutcases bowing five times daily to the holy meteor, and not a pack of Clymers that know war will disrupt their business (being the Jeffe of a corrupt $h!+hole)... After all, turning the "Foreign Aid" hand and its yummy handouts, the corporations with their lucrative kickbable deals, and the source of luxuries available to the grifters with guns into a glowing pile of rubble just is'nt worth it for these scum.

"they both support the Kim Dynasty"

Wow, that's some special kinda support they're giving 'em, what with the peasants eating grass and bark on a good day, and trying to make a run for the Chinese border on a bad one.

I wonder... do you think we could talk them into "supporting" all of our enemies like that?

What would you have better? An unstable despot armed with long range missiles and crude nukes, isolated from the somewhat saner world or the same with at least some steading hand on his head? You decide.

Me, too. I tend to believe much of this and I know that Russia and China are NOT our friends, no matter what our government says or thinks. They are dangerous foes.
