True. They can deal with Russia later after they have secured the Strait.
Not yet. If Russia achieves strategic victory here, then who knows? China wants Taiwan brought to heel, period. If Russia can help, then they...
Well, I kind of already addressed it an earlier post, but Mossaddegh did not merely say all of the oil coming out of the ground (that you’re...
Totally off topic, got it: Your history on the post-WWI partition of the Middle East is correct … except Iran was not part of that, so not really...
Nationalization is a form of theft. Theft is unkind. Nations, in this case the UK, tend to act unkindly when others go stealing property they had...
I agree with your premise, 100%. However, Putin’s position is that NATO actions in the Balkans, Middle East, and Afghanistan “prove” that NATO is...

In my opinion, it’s not enough for Putin to “not be in power.” He’s been “not in power” twice before and been the actual decision maker. Dead of a...
My guess is that completely depends on how the war ends. Any scenario where Russian troops remain in Ukrainian territory (January 2014) means that...
I hope you’re right. The operational and logistical challenges of a large amphibious assault with the navy that China has should also be a...
I’m not sure I follow the connection between the loss of electricity at Chernobyl and the risk of radiation escaping. The destroyed reactor is...
I don’t know that many people said that, but Gorbachev said it. In my opinion, the disaster was just a symptom of the overall disease affecting...
Of course, they cut both ways. Anyone who needed that explained to them is not worth the explanation. That’s just about the textbook definition of...
I think that was an SNL skit, with Phil Hartman as Clinton, from Clinton’s first year as President. As I recall, he’s on a jog with the Secret...
That’s one way to crucify someone.
Well, considering that picture covers up their license plate, my gut reaction is it was placed there by another party as a gag.
