#1 I'm suprised it took them this long. I expected them to start this the day after bambi took office.

I guess his refusal to even watch their long range missile test convinced them they don't need to follow through - Bambi will always give them whatever they want no matter what they do.

One wonders of Bambi's girls are as spoiled as he's going to make all the terrorists states....

#2 Well, one thing he didn't give them or their Chinese sponsors was a look at our BMD radars in operation during their launch. Small cold comfort, but it's something.

#3 With all the bullshit they've thrown up, I doubt they ever stopped in the first place.

Just moved to a hidden location, probably already prepared and hidden, and kept going.

#4 WORLD MIL FORUM [GOOGLE Chinglish translation]> IIUC CHINA CANNOT ALLOW NORTH KOREA TO POSSESS WMDS TO THREATEN CHINA, FOSTER LOCAL SEPARATISM WITH XINJIANG UIGHURS.

ALso on WMF > IIUC CHINA LAUNCHES QUIET AGRICULTURE/FOOD PRODUCTION OFFENSIVE AGZ KAZAKHISTAN AND RUSSIA. RUSSIA ALLOWS CHIN FARMERS [including Dependents = Families] TO WORK AND GROW FOOD [e.g. SOYBEANS] ON 20MILYUHN HECTARES [not ACRES] OF ARABLE RUSSIAN LANDS IN CENTRAL ASIA. RUSSIA FEARS ABANDONMENT OF ARABLE RUSS LANDS TO CHIN FARMERS WILL CREATE TENSIONS WITH RUSSIAN CITIZENS, GIVE CHINA CAUSE TO CLAIM RUSSIAN CENTRAL ASIA.

SO-o-o-o, IOW, RUSS indir fears loss of CENTRAL ASIAN RUSS DOMAINS to either FOOD-CENTRIC CHINA, or to NUKULAAR-CENTRIC RADICAL ISLAM???
