    Trump has regressed further into his shell. Kim Jong Un played him like a fiddle and made him look stupid as Kim stopped nuclear tests, stopped missile tests, and released American prisoners while Trump reciprocated nothing and still indulged in provocative military games.

    More like Trump is setting the tone that this will not be a Iran/Obama deal. You guys have been wrong about everything hes done thus far, you are wrong about this too.

    More like Trump acting like Iran in the dumba$$ Obama-Kerry Iran Nuclear Deal. The plane load of North Korean won's should be arriving any day now. :D

    I wish you would show that Russia is not a threat and China is. You have not done so. Repetition of claim is not justification or proof of anything.

    Yes .. you have consistently engaged in fallacy via repetition of claim and assumed premise and consistently failed to address points to the contrary with anything other than fallacy (repetition of claim).

    I clearly made the case and referenced a book which details the 100 year Chinese plan.

    Well, President Trump got alot of money to go toward the military. Are you doubting those in power who see what is going on?

    Things haven't been going well for ISIS lately.

    ‘They deserve no mercy’: Iraq deals briskly with accused ‘women of Isis.’

    “More than 40,000 foreigners from 110 countries are estimated to have travelled to Iraq and Syria to join the jihadist group. Of those, around 1,900 are believed to have been French citizens, and around 800 were British. . . . Guards who bring the women from a nearby prison said most were unrepentant.

    The Obama Administration and the deep state actors that armed and supported Al Qaeda and the Islamist Jihadists that (because of all these arms and funding ) went on to form the modern incarnation of ISIS deserve no mercy either.

    The blood of 500,000 and counting is on their hands - and this refugee crisis which has spread the plague of extremist Islamist ideology all over the planet.

    Still we fight on the same side of Al Qaeda in Yemen - along side our extremist Islamist Saudi brethren.

    China is rapidly getting old. Old Nations do not tend to be military adventurists. In another decade, it will have more people over 60 than the entire population of the U.S. Its workforce is shrinking, and not enough babies are being born.

    By 2050, there will be 1.3 workers for each retiree, according to official estimates, compared with 2.8 now.

    Ageing populations can hurt economies because a shrinking labour pool tends to drive up wages, while a growing elderly population requires more spending on pensions and health care. In a worse-case scenario, slowing growth and a labour shortage could leave China unable to care for hundreds of millions of retirees.

    China has 1 billion living on less than $2000 per year. There is a vast amount of labor available which is why they have continue to grow economically and indeed to dominate the globe which is their plan. Judging by what the illiberal post modern left is doing to the US China may well succeed. They will not do it with their military (although they will force the west to spend on military capability) but with economic power.

    Never going to happen.

    Look at how many of these folks will be over 60 in 20 years. You don't go around picking fights with other countries when you have a population filled with fifty and sixty year olds. As for their young military recruits?

    China warns military recruits to stop beating off all day
    .
    [​IMG]

    The People’s Republic of China is issuing a series of public service announcements stating that 8% of recruits are automatically disqualified due to varicocele, a condition with unknown causes that results in the valves inside testicular veins not functioning properly.

    The gist of the PSA is to get outside, exercise, stop playing so many video games, and start eating healthy food. All of this seems perfectly reasonable, but aside from sugary drinks and potato chips there is another activity that communist China wants to crack down on: whacking off.

    According to the PSA, sitting around all day masturbating is also a cause of varicocele.

    The PSA makes no mention of enforcement or if there will be some kind of masturbation gestapo going around and making sure that People’s Liberation Army recruits are not playing with themselves, so time will tell how this shakes out.

    The Chinese government will not allow anything to stop their economic growth including the welfare of older people. They have no humanitarian democratic process to protect those that do not contribute to their first priority which is the growth of the state. That is the convenience and tragedy of totalitarianism.
