This makes me think that Russia and China are actually going to back up North Korea if we go to war. I suspect that Russia and China will back up North Korea because they don't want freedom at their doorstep. China maybe using North Korea as a surrogate is like Iran is using Hezbollah, Hamas and the Tutsis as surrogates

PFC (Join to see) - Cuban Secret Service keeps the president of Venezuela alive because he can't trust his people because many of them don't like the country turning into a Cuban style dictatorship. Cuba is not our friend either though President Obama sucked up to them and yet they didn't turn over the hijackers that are still living in the lap of luxury in Cuba. Remember, one of those black panther type female Killers escape from jail and is living in Cuba and Kaepernick donated $100,000 to her so-called charity. A friend of mine who used to work as a foreign area officer said that Vietnam turned over people we wanted as part of reestablishing relations but President Obama was so desperate that he didn't push that issue and we have relations with Cuba even though they are just as untrustworthy as the Russians, the Iranians or the North Koreans.

PFC (Join to see) - the Olive Branch doesn't appear to be working with Cuba since we don't know if it's the Russians or some elements within the Cuban government are doing the sonic terrorism in the US Embassy there in Havana so people are having permanent hearing loss and headaches. The story is still unfolding but it's sad that the hijackers and that female cop killer that Kaepernick is supporting wasn't had it over as part of the opening of relations between Cuba and the US. Cuba may still be supporting Venezuela and for all we know Nicaragua may be part of that same axis of Evil. I post on rallypoint and year-and-a-half ago that Nicaragua bought a whole bunch of t-72 Tanks and Costa Rica was worried but Honduras was not. This is besides the point but it just goes to show you don't know if Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Iran and North Korea could possibly work together because they are against the United States and it's democracy. I know that the us-supported samosa and many other dictatorships over the decades but this is not the 1930s and that went away in the 1970s. Hopefully the Pax Americana can be restored if we can just get rid of the drug problem if we legalize drugs I don't think it's going to work. Anyways time will tell with the North Korea issue. I just hope that the president's meeting that he had a few days ago isn't the meeting where they discuss actual actions in the next few weeks.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - I don't know about that but I reserve judgement but China does have views of world domination that is kinda in the realm of the eccentric. Mostly through practically economic blackmail especially in Africa.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - well they have no regard for anyone else sovereign territory and Vietnam grievances are clear in that regard that's why Vietnam has strengthened ties to us. The Philippines already has distanced themselves from China because they realize what it takes to be in business with them and it did not turn out good.
