The US has been backing off manned space development for a long time -- simply not enough votes in it and votes are all that matters it seems.

Not votes, bribes, er campaign contributions ... The US has been backing off manned space development for a long time -- simply not enough votes in it and votes are all that matters it seems. |

The developing alliance between the US and Vietnam might be kind of interesting.. |

Worrying times for China? Are we heading into a worldwide depression? Chinese inflation slows to lowest in 2 years "There is still room for an interest cut by year end, but... the central bank will likely rely more on quantitative measures such as cuts in the required reserve ratio," Tang said. It seems that many are using QE....too much of this soon becomes as bad as too little... Here's hoping that someone somewhere can get the numbers right....... |

It's gotta be a compromise somewhere in the middle. Which is just impossible for most people, even though there are matching ideas on both sides of the spectrum that could lead to a common ground. #resist |

Sirius, I fear we are seeing a downward inward spiral of the interconnected industrial economies. |

For several years now I have been meaning to buy the Rosetta Stone Spanish language software, living in Florida it seemed a wise investment. But now instead I think we need to be learning Chinese. There is a limit on the number of refugees coming out of Cuba and Haiti but there is no limit on the number of Chinese that could someday occupy North America. And if you live in Russia you better be in a hurry to learn Chinese. They need oil and a lot of it and Russia just may be where they decide to get it from. Bob DeWoody My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events. |

I suspect the Chinese are looking to find oil in the South China Sea -- they claim that space already (Vietnam does as well, but they don't have nukes, like Russia). Aside from that, they expect to corner the market on Iranian oil as well.

We have the examples of Taiwan and Tibet. Is Japan next?... Japan protests at Chinese ships near disputed islands Japan has summoned China's ambassador to protest against the appearance of Chinese patrol boats near a disputed chain of islands in the East China Sea. Three Chinese fishery patrol boats entered the area early on Wednesday and have since left, reports say. ... There is gas and oil nearby... Is the "disputed" a diplomatic euphemism for "Wanted"?

The Chinese have been making expansive moves near all the waters around it -- it is one of the factors binding the other countries to the US. The US may end up with a base in Vietnam -- that would be interesting. |

I see they're closer to Okinawa rather than Japan or China. Does the US still have a base of operations at Okinawa? |
BarryAZ Send message Joined: 1 Apr 01 Posts: 2580 Credit: 16,982,517 RAC: 0 |
Yes, the US still has a base in Okinawa -- which is part of Japan by the way. |

Just wondering how much more of this is occuring? China - EU Trade War? With the US slapping on a 31% import tax, what would happen if the EU followed suit? |
