    Yeah I don't think the PH are a threat to anyone outside the border and yet China is encroaching several different ways on this country.

      @FoxNews: BREAKING NEWS: Russia to expel 60 US diplomats, close US consulate in St. Petersburg http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/03...etersburg.html

      St. Petersburg = Seattle? I thought they'd pick Vladivostok.

        Agree. St. Petersberg is definitely a first tier city. Seattle is a hipster second tier city. Right now that's maybe Kazan. In a year it will be Minsk. In five, if Dump is re-elected, Talinn.

          Good news. We're going to **** up the War on ISIS now just like we ****ed up Iraq to create them in the first place.

              Pull the aid and let them go at it. One way or the other it will be over.

              My money's on a Greater Israel from the east bank of the Nile to west bank of the Euphrates. Solve a lot of problems.

                I've long pondered what would happen if the US walked away and said, "We'll be back to talk to whatever is left standing."

                That said, I've always loved this joke ...

                Things are going badly for Israel. The economy is in a tail spin, inflation is getting higher and immigrants are flooding in from all over. Problems, problems, problems, but what to do?

                So the Knesset holds a special session to come up with a solution. After several hours of talk without progress one member stands up and says "Quiet everyone, I've got it, the solution to all our problems. "What?"

                We'll declare war on the United States. "Every one is shouting at once. "You're nuts! That's crazy!" "Hear me out!" says the minister. "We declare war. We lose. The United States does what she always does when she defeats a country. She rebuilds everything; our highways, airports, shipping ports, schools, hospitals, factories, and loans us money, and sends us food aid. Our problems would be over.

                "Sure," says another minister, "that's if we lose. But what if we win?"

                        I wish the author spent more time specifically detailing how the highlighted portion of Balfour's letter went unfulfilled:

                        "His Majesty's government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."

                          The biggest foreign policy blunder of the 20th century was the Allies sticking a poisoned finger into that region.

                            No choice. Had to take the oil.

                            Man, the Ottomans must be kicking themselves. If they had just been able to hang on for another few decades they'd be running the world now.

                                Why did Orange Boy announce he was leaving Syria? Everything has been ****ed up ever since. I thought he wasn't going to announce things about military maneuvers? And, I thought he was never leaving based on what happened in Iraq?
