Popular Mechanics: What You Need to Know About the South China Sea, the World's Next Hot Spot

China is equipping itself with several new “assassin’s maces” as two world powers brace for impact in the South China Sea.

If you look at the South China Sea on a map, then it might seem inevitable that this 1.4 million square miles of water would become a territorial quagmire.

Bordered by China, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, and other nations, the area includes the busiest sea lanes in the world—about a third of the world shipping passes through every year, with cargo valued around $3 trillion. With evidence pointing to huge oil and gas reserves, all of the surrounding countries want a piece of the pie.

N. Korea, Not Trump, Correct on Failed Summit: US Official
Kim Jong Un wanted many sanctions lifted, but not all of them, and none on weapons, official says

What's that got to do with the above!? Oh yes, maybe China needs a push which is the biggest take away from the Summitt.

The best part is that to smear Trump, Fred now believes North Koreans. This is getting so pathetic now I don't know what to do. How do we wake up Fred? It's so sad to see him being manipulated by CNN like that. :-(

"The best part is that to smear Trump, Fred now believes North Koreans"

This is just a particular instance of Democrats taking the side of America's enemies in order to improve or try to improve their political standing at home. This is a political theorem. Fred is operating within his normal range of idiocy.

Did you note that Fred was the 1st one to post and how gleeful he is.

He is chomping at the bit like a worn out nag. probably denied himself his only pleasure that of finding pictures in order to dutifully push the Democrat narrative on this blog.

Yeah lol you must have written at same time like me. It's getting so obvious that Fred is just trying to hang on to the narrative.

Fred.please. ..for once watch Fox. You'll see a network not hellbent on dividing America on race and gender lines. Sure, they have their own spin on things but my God so does cnn and they are clearly in the pocket of China

Fred is not an idiot. Sure I call him sometimes names but I don't really mean it. He's my little parrot (I started that haha).. I just really really wish he would think. It's so obvious to me (I'm European not American fyi) that CNN and the rest of the media is pushing a narrative and it is built in lies. Half the country is supposed to be racist. That's insane in the surface but on CNN yi get cheered on (!) to say that. They buried even the smollet case within hours. It is so sad what's happening to your country and I hope and pray you guys fight back (by legal and moral means - never like maxine waters or smollet or Clinton)..all these hate crime hoaxes. .sure there's hate crime - in every country including mine - but to believe this narrative that half the country is racist is so lazy intellectually and morally corrupt. Who could believe that? I've spent 10 years travelling about 30 countries due to my job, often staying months in the US, China, large parts of Europe, pretty much everywhere and I'm ivy league educated and I would not vote Democrat until they are FOR America and not so divisive and lying. I can't obviously bit just saying. This narrative that fox news viewers are all dumb hicks from the flyover states is also so insulting and unAmerican. Stop watching cnn until they unite the country and not divide along race and gender lines. Just think about what they push on their network. It's poison for the heart and mind.

Fred is pro what ever the Democrats are pro- on.

So he is pro-transgendered. If that means bearded men in the little girls room, he is fine with it. It does not matter how he squawks. Where the rubber meets the road, he votes straight party ticket.

He feels sorry for Jussie Smollett, because somehow it is the rest of our faults.

Fred is for wide open borders and the free flow of MS13 and terrorists around the US.

His true beliefs are how he votes.

Just call him Lockstep Fred.

1. Lockstep Fred
2. Goosestep Fred
3. Little parrot

They're all great and near perfect description of what we know of him so far.

However, as I do not think he's evil ,I'll stick with little parrot.

He's just not that bright. English major tells you already quite a bit, doesn't it. It's a mean cliché, i know, but boy it's often true. I have emplored him for years (literally) to think for himself, but all he does is shout (ALL CAPS TO CONVINCE YOU! !!) and what's worse. .he posts links to leftist media outlets as if they would report the truth.

He is so not not realising how he's being used by a race baiting, class and gender dividing party. He does not realise he is part of the problem. .his intellectual laziness and moral corruption are so ...well, sad really. I don't think he knows though what he's doing and how media outlets reprogram him to accept their narrative. He swallows it all, hook, line and sinker ..and the saddest part is he feels good and righteous. He believes he's doing good. He does not see what the left is doing to this country. He just follows without thinking for himself. But I insist he's not evil, not a lockstepper or goosestepper...just not a bright person or independent thinker, that's all...So let's call him parrot or little parrot. That's really what describes him best..bit dumb. .but not evil.

I agree we should consider the circumstances, after all Lapides is locked in a life and death struggle against self awareness. Any exposure to truth could have a detrimental effect, we must proceed cautiously!
