Is WWIII inevitable?

[donbuggy]

Jump down the shelters to get away
The boys are cocking up their guns
Tell us General, is it party time?
If it is can we all come

Don't think that we don't know
Don't think that we're not trying
Don't think we move too slow
It's no use after crying

Saying It's a mistake, it's a mistake
It's a mistake, it's a mistake

it's ok

missile has no warhead

[uls]

NK has been testing missiles and nuclear bombs separately

is 2018 the year he tests a missile with a nuclear warhead?

[badkuk]

^ realistically, how easy/hard is it to do so? imho if it were that easy, they would have done so and nuked some small island by this time already.

[uls]

1. they probably haven't yet miniaturized a nuclear weapon to put on the tip of a missile

2. they're probably afraid if an armed missile malfunctioned they'll end up annihilating themselves

3. an above ground or atmospheric nuclear test could invite a US attack

^ na napag kamalan mong Indian yung Pakistani boss mo? They kinda look alike...Pakistan was once part of India up until it was divvied up along religious lines when the British left. Lots of bad blood though, andaming patayan when Pakistan seceded.

AFAIK, even the U.S. was supplying Pakistan with arms like attack helicopters, fighter jets and missiles until recently.

There were a lot of cross-border attacks in India by terrorists who were allegedly being coddled or even handled by Pakistani intelligence like the 2008 Mumbai attacks.

kailangan ng China ang Pakistan coz of its intentions in the Indian Ocean

read about "China String of Pearls"

tayo sa Pinas ang concern lang natin mga isla na sinakop ng China sa SCS

pero may mas malaking plano ang China

SCS is only part of a larger plan

China is building military bases from the SCS all the way to the Indian Ocean




China must be really happy the US is withdrawing financial aid to Pakistan

Pakistan will be glad to let China operate a military base as a F-U to the US

Pakistan is ditching the dollar for trade with China — 24 hours after Trump denounced the country

F-U to the US

Just 24 hours after President Donald Trump took aim at Pakistan on Twitter, the South Asian nation already appears to be cozying up to the world's second-largest economy.

A day after the U.S. leader slammed Islamabad for harboring terrorists in a New Year's Day tweet, Pakistan's central bank announced that it will be replacing the dollar with the yuan for bilateral trade and investment with Beijing.

The same day, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang defended Islamabad's counter-terrorism track record, saying the country "made great efforts and sacrifices for combating terrorism" and urged the international community to "fully recognize this."

China has been waiting for this all along

China has been watching closely as U.S.-Pakistan relations become increasingly strained. Trump has long demanded the frontier economy to do more on counter-terrorism while he simultaneously grew closer to its arch-rival, India.

"Pakistan and the U.S. have had a fraught relationship for years, but the big change recently has been China," said Simon Baptist, Asia regional director at the Economist Intelligence Unit. "China has really gone hard in cementing its existing relationship with Pakistan, it's really the only place that's seen significant investment under the Belt and Road initiative and China has been pushing for geopolitical advantage there."

Islamabad is home to one of Beijing's central infrastructure schemes, a near $60 billion collection of land and sea projects known as the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor — a centerpiece of Belt and Road.

Pakistan doesn't need the US

madami pera ang China

And with a steady stream of Chinese capital under its belt, Pakistan may no longer be receptive to American threats, the most recent of which involves Washington cutting off security assistance.

"Pakistan balks far less at reductions in American aid, which, as the former points out, has dwindled in recent years anyway. China, on the other hand, has promised Pakistan $57 billion in investments on infrastructure and energy under its Belt and Road Initiative," Madiha Afzal, a nonresident fellow at Brookings, said in a recent note. "All this means that America has far less leverage over Pakistan."

"The history of Pakistan's relationships with China and the United States also shows that Pakistan's policy does not respond to strong-handedness, but to loyalty, and to being treated with dignity," she continued.

Sri Lanka, Struggling With Debt, Hands a Major Port to China

part of the plan

China knows the debt couldn't be paid

China takes over the port

They got a foothold in Sri Lanka

[uls]

the port will become a Chinese naval base

China also built an airport in Sri Lanka

India is afraid China might also take over the airport

China needs the airport to compliment the sea port

India wants to buy the airport from Sri Lanka to prevent China from taking the airport
