We are living in very scary times, and every day the world edges closer to a full blown military confrontation that might see the start of WW3. There is way too much tension between the major powers, and it's only a matter of time before something spirals out of control. I really hope I'm wrong.

Us think thank are slush fund used by foreign countries to attempt to influence us policy. Some use bribes, dinner money, yacht trip, or underage girls to get us congress and administration under control. This is why d.c. counties are the wealthiest counties in the us.

This is a all a fucking scam that can only be not gree falling (like wtc7 on 9.11) as long as the usd is reserve currency, saddly as it become a slush fund, lasyness, corruption and stupidity took over. If only the chinese realized the chance they have to have a suicidal, divided, occupied usa now. Of course it's still a dangerous beast but in absolute and relative term the question is if it's terminal or not? And more importantly this american decay is dangerous for china, as it become self referential.

So no, you who pay to steal from china, you have no chance. learn feom the past, fight your domestic corruption and even if small you will be listen in beijing, but as american clone and lapdog... pfff.

Is this recent ? i believe this news was already been released that they've been building a military base in the island of sprantly. It seems to me that they're looking to expand their territory even countries like japan and india are being terrorized by china and claiming some territory and provoking them into war it feels like china is preparing for war. The president of the Philippines tried to resolve the dispute between the two countries and the prime minister of china just said "if you wont drop this then we will go to war" although not exactly the same words but it's close enough.
I hope the countries involved can get a negotiated result one day. I totally understand the reason why they have not yet reached a consensus because these are all about the national interests. I only hope this can be peacefully settled at last.

They are just starting from the outskirts of their place.
They have a long way to go before placing one in the Atlantic.

China has built a new military facility on the islands of the South China Sea. The Chinese military project was revealed from a satellite image reported by a US think tank.

The Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative (AMTI), a section of the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), reported in its report that a new satellite image shows missile shelters as well as radar and communications facilities built on Fiery Cross, Mischief and Subi Reef In the Spratly Islands, South China Sea.

The United States criticized the construction of China's military facilities on the artificial islands for fear that Washington's regional navigation freedom is missing.

Last month, a US Navy warship sailed within 12 nautical miles on the Mischief Reef with a patrol claim of freedom of navigation. The warship patrol near the Chinese-made island was the first since Donald Trump served as US president.

Washington accuses Beijing of militarization in the disputed region. But China denied it.

Islands in the South China Sea are disputed between China and other Asian countries such as Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam.

China, according to AMTI, has previously built four new missile shelters at Fiery Cross Reef. Mischief and Subi each have eight shelters.

In a recent AMTI report, it was mentioned that a large dome was recently installed in Fiery Cross and another one is under construction. The facility is a great communication or radar system. Two other domes, according to AMTI, were also built on Mischief Reef.

"Beijing can now use military assets, including fighter jets and missile launchers to move to the Spratly Islands at any time," the AMTI report said.

Beijing's government and military have not responded to the report of the US think tank. However, China has insisted that the islands in the South China Sea are its sovereign territory, where Beijing claims almost the entire South China Sea region.

How do you think about this ?
