Could there be a secret Sino-AQ alliance?
Lord, have mercy!
the whole world is falling apart under Obama leadership or lack of leadership.
Are they sure someone didn’t make a film mocking Chairman Mao?
Well, at least we aren’t getting All the rioting. If the CIA is smart they’ll make an anti-Mohammed film using Chinese actors, and send it to the ME with a phony trail leading back to the PRC.
Just damn.
War and rumors of war...
Dear reader’s comment on this new international situation:
< crickets >
There will be wars, and rumors of wars.
This is only the beginning.
From Wikipedia, for what it’s worth:
“The United States occupied the islands from 1945 to 1972. Both the PRC and Japan indicated their sovereignty claims with respect to the islands to the United Nations Security Council at the time of the US transfer of its administrative powers to Japan. Sovereignty over the islands would give the owner exclusive oil, mineral and fishing rights in surrounding waters. Although the United States does not have an official position on the merits of the competing sovereignty claims, the islands are included within the U.S. Japan Security Treaty meaning that a defense of the islands by Japan may compel support from the United States military.” (reference citations present in the original Wikipedia article “Senkaku Islands Dispute”, but omitted here for clarity).
Note the last sentence in the quote above, and I think it’s pretty clear why the Red Chinese are pressing their claim now, given the dolt we have in the White House.
Those Japanese, how am I play golf, and joy-ride in my 747...bothersome people...
Troubling development.
