Daniel Sneider, Asia Times: Northeast Asia unraveling amid US retreat

We are left now watching events unfold in East Asia in the absence of American leadership and a cogent strategy

While Americans become increasingly preoccupied with their own domestic descent into dysfunction and political civil war, the rest of the world moves on without them.

The United States is not responsible for much of what we see happening in the world, but the consequences of American retreat from leadership are visible and disturbing. Nowhere is that more evident than in East Asia.

At one moment, we are witnessing multiple challenges to the international order that has maintained peace and stability in the region. Japan and South Korea, the anchors of the American security system, are now locked into a political and economic war without any end.

  4. Fast Freddy pulled another fast one. He repeated 2 links to make 4 links into 6. Got to hand it to the IQ 70 guy. His ploy fooled exactly no one.


    The Tea Party and others have been warning about this for a decade.

    "The North Texas Tea Party Says Voting Machines Are Stealing Republican Votes
    ERIC NICHOLSON | OCTOBER 25, 2012 " -dallasobserver.com

    But ya knows, since Obama won re-election, the Democrats did not care and laughed it off.

    Who was president when this could have been fixed and told the Tea Party and others that they were freaks?

    That is right ' it was Obungles and the Demo'rats'.


    Look at Open Secrets for a while and see who gave what.

  5. "-- ‘I Have a Moral Responsibility to Come Forward’: Colonel Accuses Top Military Nominee of Assault"

    She also claimed that he ejaculated on her yoga pants. If she has a moral responsibility to come forward, she has a moral responsibility to produce the yoga pants for DNA testing.

    Her claim could be true. I do not know. However, as a colonel with a college degree and perhaps a master, you would think she kept the yoga pants. Even the dimmest criminals now often use bleach to try to cover up their crimes. So if there are no pants, there is reasonable doubt.

    Since even the dimmest criminals know of DNA and use bleach, perhaps the colonel should be demoted to private. I certainly have lost confidence in her ability to lead and intellect. She was also abusive to subordinated and peers, so maybe she has motive for an accusation. that would be to save and further her career. So there is a second reasonable doubt.

    Good link Fred. Next time read the article instead of going full frontal TDS.

  6. Many college teachers have quid pro quos to pass students. That college teacher was not investigated for sexual improprieties does not exonerate xer.

  7. -- States Rush to Make Voting Systems More Secure as New Threats Emerge - The New York Times

    Election after election liberal judges also keep the polls open in heavily Democrat cities until the vote totals come out majority Democrat.

    So how could the Russians cheat? The Wussians have no way of knowing how much the Democrats will cheat by.
