It's great to see that we're testing out new gadgets.

I'm gonna be so disappointed if we don't even discombobulate a few of them just for shits and giggles.

Trump is the only president smart/retarded enough in a long time to realize America can just do things
As it turns out, "speak softly and carry a big stick" also works with "shout loudly and carry a big stick". The big stick seems to be the operative part of the phrase.
 
Someone either in this thread or the Palestine conflict thread made a really good point a while back

Imagine Iran is Cyraxx and Israel is Music Biz Marty. It's a pretty good allegory for what is happening right now.
 
Not to derail but where do you see this?
Of course North Korea and Russia will develop stronger ties from this. My point was that would not have happened without China's approval. North Korea is a Chinese vassal state, they are reliant on China for food, economic, and energy assistance. The Norks got off the leash for a while in the 00s and early 10s and were rattling the saber with their neighbors, and China had to admonish them, threatening to cut off their aid. Since then North Korea acts only when China gives the signal.
but more so they seek to be hegomic powers with the same spheres
Outside of Central Asia, Russia and China's areas of influence don't really clash. Russia is focused on Europe, the Caucasus, and the Middle East. China is focused on the Subcontinent, SEA, and East Asia. As for Central Asia, Russia and China have taken a joint venture approach to quell any disputes. Any country in Central Asia that cozies up to one will also play ball with the other, ensuring they both get a piece of the pie and avoiding any resentment. And the Central Asian states largely do this of their own volition, cause they don't want their nations becoming host to a proxy war between two great powers. They've had enough of that shit over the past two centuries.

also nice double post.
