... and just for you CNNPT, and Whale, if you want to risk being educated, here are some "fun facts"!
SPOILER ALERT!!! ... you wont like the truth ...
While the media spent 90% of the time focused on negative coverage or fake news, the President has been getting results: 1. The economy has created nearly 2 million jobs and gained over $8 trillion in wealth since the President’s inauguration. 2. African Americans and Hispanics are enjoying the lowest unemployment rate in recorded history. 3. The President signed historic tax cuts and relief for hardworking Americans not seen since President Reagan. 4. President Trump’s plan to cut regulations has exceeded “2 out for every 1 in” mandate, issuing 22 deregulatory actions for every one new regulatory action. 5. The President has unleashed an American energy boom by ending Obama-era regulations, approving the Keystone pipeline, auctioning off millions of new acres for energy exploration, and opening up ANWR. 6. ISIS is in retreat, having been crushed in Iraq and Syria. 7. President Trump followed through on his promise to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel and instructed the State Department to begin to relocate the Embassy. 8. With President Trump’s encouragement, more member nations are paying their fair share for the common defense in the NATO alliance. 9. Signed the Veterans Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act to allow senior officials in the VA to fire failing employees and establishes safeguards to protect whistleblowers. 10. President Trump kept his promise and appointed Associate Justice Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court. |

Oh well that didn't work. Thought that video that a 'friend' posted on facebook, showed the difference between the articulation of Clinton, compared to that of Trump. Whilst the message may not to be too different, the way it is suggested, and the the person who says it, changes the way people react to it.

Maybe ? .. It is a good vidio Saintly and a fact of life that places who rely on migration for growth are heading to the time when the new settlers are no longer an assett. BUT a massive liability. Australia is just a dumping groung fror the insanity of troubled Countries Since 1945 the USA Population has increased 130% , Australia about 340% . All we are doing is forcing those born here into moving & making way for the rich imports and making up the unsustainable numbers with the bottom of the barrel from the World shxthouses. The insane/ unsuccessful are usually the first to want to migrate. The UK has NO alcoholics , Australia has them all ..

If DOD has an issue with the Chinese in East Africa it is not revealing it. The US has military units in 28 African countries. And of course we have the old reliable carrier task forces in the Mediterranean Sea, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, The Chinese have one operational carrier and no task force to support it. The Russians have one dry docked carrier. I think you lose sight of the wealth of military power held by our carrier groups which include subsurface and amphibious assets. There is Diego Garcia also. https://thediplomat.com/2015/10/a-brief-history-of-the-us-navy-in-the-indian-ocean/ The major problem currently facing DOD is bringing our military back to Reagan thru George W. Bush readiness levels. The Trump 2018 budget puts that on track. It appears to me that OZ might be more concerned with Chinese expansion than we yanks. https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/special-features/in-depth/the-next-war-can-australia-put-up-a-fight/news-story/e014be236655857052fbd521e3534ba7 http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/inquirer/defence-white-paper-time-for-a-rapid-reality-injection-over-china-indonesia/news-story/3f82e6f1d887785e12492aa6a6439bb8 |

I am well aware of the US Naval power, it is extraordinary, but also expensive and counter to the Trump promise of reduced engagement and reducing the scope and cost of US engagement worldwide. The chances of China engaging in a conventional war against the US is about zero with them being the aggressor, and not much more with them being provoked. Remember the Soviet War cold war, where Reagan and the US simply outspent the Soviet Union and eventually broke them through an arms race on too many fronts for the Soviets to maintain. America's 20 trillion dollar spiraling debt and the cost of maintaining it has them in the reverse position now to the previous cold war. China will be the one that can, if they wish,outspend their adversary. I dont think they will be doing that though, they will likely not greatly increase military spending, rather let the US play that game. Whoever fed Trump the line about currency manipulating was signaling the likely strategy, but as Bannon was the driving Sinophobe force in the administration, unless that baton has passed on to someone else, it may not be the main weapon China has been playing the long game for 5,000 years, and seen off many aggressors, they wont engage the US now.They are focusing on using emerging countries across the globe particularly Africa, the untapped goldmine as cooperating partners. Those countries have nothing to lose under the current global administration, having been ignored and exploited for centuries, but now see a pathway out of poverty and to prosperity under China. Sure they are needy now and will be dealing from disadvantage, which is why they are accepting hard deals for infrastructure investment, but as they all grow they will eventually become partners rather than clients. This will be a different cold war where economics and markets will be the weapons of choice, not nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers. The US are showing(on the surface anyway) that they still want to go down the old path of demonizing the Chinese, but that wont work. China doesn't care to engage in propaganda, and never have. Admiral Harris(well known anti China) likely appointment as your Australian Ambassador will be a major part of keeping us and our satellite signals capabilities on-board and anti China Mattis is correct, this is a unique challenge, and it is a shame we cant see the remainder of that report to see what the US initial thoughts are on countering China economically He hinted that it was on their radar, but never mentioned OBOR or Africa by name. I suspect at this stage it would mean very little to the US public so is only in the classified sections

Also, as I have been suggesting for over a year, Russia's role in this is the one that Washington has to be concerned about. They are the attack dog of the operation, China's traditional communist partners and the source of all their allies military hardware, including nuclear capabilities. They are coat-tailing China with a strategy of engaging the US in proxy fronts globally to exhaust them financially. There is no doubt China is bankrolling them.
Beware the Thucydides Trap Shammy.

Afghanistan is the next place the Syria scenario will play out with Russia supporting the Taliban to control the centre of the country particularly. The US may control a couple of provinces in what is the most expensive Embassy in the world to maintain at $50b a year, but will eventually tire and China/Russia will get what they want there and everywhere else they play out these strategies. Why do you think Trump tried to outsource Afghanistan to Eric Prince, a scenario he wanted to play out globally, as well as taking over intelligence agencies? Syria is different because of about $5Trillion of gas that needs to pass through it, hence the illegal occupation of US roops in Sth Syria and this Kurd sponsoring exercise that Turkey(the key to energy transportation in the region) is pushing back. Russia/Iran is gaining control

The glaring deficits for both China and Russia is something that can't be gained in a matter of a few years. It will take decades to reach yank superiority in air and naval forces. The real strength of the USA is military logistics and technology. Iran is an irritant not a military power.
