Are FHT and BBN moles who actually live in the former USSR and try to stir

up trouble on this and other forums, just curious.

Geezer

Yes. Posters from the Russian government have been caught posting here. Seriously.

I am always curious where members on the Forum live, as some of the support

seems very strange, and especially if it is very strong support.  I wish I could live

full time in Thailand but I do not have a big enough pension to be able to afford the

place for more than a month or two each year. Cheers

Kim is the perfect distraction to keep the US entangled for decades….doubt china or russia want this resolved apart from the usual BS lip service.

It's an ace-in-the-hole for Trump to distract from mounting Russia-Trump imbroglio.  I won't be surprised if, on the morning when Mueller's team is to start revealing their findings, that Trump gives the order for dropping a bomb somewhere near the hornet's nest known as N.Korea.

It's always about the US wanting to rule the world. They are enemies and they don't want their enemies to be strong. This enemy is not budging and is now strong as a result of the US inaction from previous administrations. The US always make the bed, they just don't like sleeping in it. No Country in this region or close by will benefit from conflict and the US knows that. Thailand's tourism industry will rapidly decline in the wake of any Military conflict. It's not as easy as rolling up and taking out a leader as they have found with Syria. Everything the US starts or gets involved in destabilizes regions for decades. This can't be forgotten. The USA is a circus, read the news, look at what is happening there. They need to clean up their own backyard before they come half way around the world again and rattle their sabres.

We can do without the  infantile  propaganda.  The USA less at risk of attack  by North Korea. It is South Korea and  Japan most at risk and who have  been attacked, had their nationals kidnapped and seen multiple attempts to murder their leaders.

 

China fears a unified Korea and would prefer to continue the failed strategy of dividing  countries. The Chinese  saw the economic powerhouse Germany became once it became whole again and the Russian colonial rulers  left the country .  China wishes to manipulate the regional economy and to maintain its dominance. It's all about China, not the USA.

That will have something to do with China not threatening to attack them and staging wargames on their border to that end.

China is far from peaceful. Throughout history they have mastered the art of killing each other to perfection and look what they did to Tibet.

When the Rwanda conflict happened, at least the western powers tried to calm it down. If Beijing were running the world, the would just have stood back and said: Great, looks like the black are clearing some more land for some Han Chinese to settle down.

Yes, a peaceful  country that respects it's neighbors.  LOL

The total area of China’s claims on other countries exceeds the size of modern China itself, but Beijing refuses to budge on its claims.

 

Many are based on unsubstantiated (outside China) and unprecedented “historical precedents” dating back centuries.

 

And while China only has land borders with 14 countries, it is claiming territory from at least 23 individual nations.
