US still controls the seas globally. As long as that is the case, Australia is duty bound to side with the US, just as it was to the British Empire.

eh, Trump is constrained domestically by our congress and our courts. Can't say the same for Erdogan now. Trump's been a shit show domestically (thankfully the shittiest policies have so far been blocked), but so far no major f ups internationally. He's not speaking softly unfortunately, but...

Please go move there, so you can join in the glory.

Its unlikely. The US did inform Russia, but there likely wasn't enough time to move everything out. What I'm hearing is at least 14 planes were destroyed, hopefully the Russians on site were given enough time to flee. Might be some SAA casualties though.

Will never happen though, This particular bill has been proposed consistently since the Bush Administration. For everyone else, as has been stated, bills that people know will never pass have been proposed all the time. It isn't about getting them passed, its about pleasing the constituency.

Well said, China and Japan aren't the only players. Even if Japan and China went mano a mano and China wins, If China's navy takes a beating in the process ( There is no reason to believe it wouldn't). The US could and would simply mop it up. The 7th fleet is still in Japan. And the df-21 is...

Pretty big Caveat there. Pretty much my feelings.

Apparently he was a cop. Could be Gulenist, could be otherwise, depends on his history.

i dont see it. If ties with China get frostier then I see the US being able to allocate more power to the Pacific, but Russia has enough on its plate, and Russia doesn't hold the same level of hostilities that they did during the nixon kissinger times (which was almost open conflict), so there...

Looks like Palmyra has fallen once again. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-syria-palmyra-idUSKBN13Z073 Illustrates that aircraft doesn't hold ground, soldiers hold ground.

Hey, you are the one that will be living with this, not me. Go balls deep for all I care, thank god i'm not there though. More interested in how this will affect Geo-politics, but this isn't the thread for that.

classic Trump... On some level questioning our basic assumptions on what is good and what is bad policy is a good thing... not in public though...

GMO foods get a bad rap, nonetheless, they are critical to increasing yields and doing a better job of ensuring public health. Aside from that, the Avocado taste with the milkshake texture... I never want to drink an Avocado again. Give me guac any day.

No, that's a false narrative, the US and EU associatec governments didn't say anything period, they were waiting to see it play out, after which they gave supportive words. Classic hedging. Basically if a coup were going on in the US do you think Erdogan would make a risky statement while it...

Oh god, I had one of those avocado chocolate shakes out of curiosity. Definitely an acquired taste... :sick:

Mattis has strong bipartisan support, and is well liked by our allies, and clearly feared by our enemies. He is a legend in the military, especially the marines. He will do well in his job, especially in war.
