About two weeks ago, another member and I posted a list of the enemies we thought he US had. Since we posted this list:
1.) Iran
2.) Syria
3.) North Korea
4.) China
5.) Russia
a bunch of weird happenings have occured...
One would suspect, Russia, China, really? Iran?
But since then...the Lebanese PM has been blown to pieces, and they blame Syria. Syria and Iran have formed a "common front".
Iran is trying to make nukes, Russia says they aren't. Russia is siding with Iran and Syria.
North Korea says they have nukes. They don't give a crap what the world thinks about it. China and the US are trying to force talks with N. Korea, but to no avail.
***an and the US agree that Taiwan is a sovereign nation and is a common defense issue to both nations. Of course...this angered China, and a news headline today says, "Beijing lashes out at U.S., ***an on Taiwan."
There you have it. A few weeks ago, perhaps the list wasn't so defined, but over the last few days in my mind, it has solidified even more.
It's a crazy world we have out there...and it's far far from stable.
But, I hate to tell you folks, it's probably only going to get worse.

Don't forget, russia is also doing military exercises with China.
What do Russia and China have in common? WE ARE SUPPORTING THEM.
Any country that has been hostile or is still potentially hostile to the united states AND we give them our jobs and money, should immediately exempt any US citizen from having to serve in the armed forces against these countries.
We then draft every POS in congress and all corporate CEO's, give them potatoe guns and have them mount an invasion.

That makes two of us. I try to read between the lines in order to better understand geopolitics, but now the 'bad guys' are coming right out in the open. Seems like the 21st century world is going back to the old East vs. West struggle of yesteryear.

I'm just wondering whether diplomacy or military action will set the tone for the times ahead. I still have the feeling the latter is all some people understand.
