They're not.
Russia is a fraction of China's population, wealth and technical capacity. What do you have in your house "made in Russia?" Some porn, a computer virus, and a Trump meme. Russia has far more to worry about, long term, from China than they do from the US. Hard to see why. What do Russia or China want from the US? China cares about China. Russia just wants to fuck with us to we don't undermine their regime. Quote:
Let's recall that China fought us once, and has zero nostalgia for the event. ISIS and terrorists are random nuisances who we've elevated into existential threats through hysteria. |

Hmm well I looked out of the window and it doesn't look as if the entire tree has been taken out so it could just be it was too tall and needed loping. I don't just stay up and watch those channels I do actually catch up on other things AND I also talk to a friend of mine (via the Ipad) each night, trouble is most of the time he sounds so depressed, but lately he has cheered up a bit now he has a permanent job and his mother is making a recovery from a life-threatening illness. I do a lot of work around the house as basically a carer for my parents so late night is ME time but I don't spend all morning in bed but I do need 5-6hrs sleep which I now get. Believe me sleep deprivation is the worst feeling ever and I suffered a lot for 4 years which is why I am so used to staying up late now-it wasn't planned.

5 dead but it has been downgraded to a Tropical Storm now.
https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/14/us/hu...wxc/index.html But those folks are not out of the woods yet. The torrential downpour rain will continue. A Tropical Storm still has the power to do biblical floods and kill. Look at Tropical Storm Allison in 2001. Code:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_Storm_Allison Meanwhile in Space: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencet...ia-claims.html If this was done deliberately in space, who could had done it? There are only so many people on the ISS! 6 of them right now. Code:
https://www.howmanypeopleareinspacerightnow.com/ Now if it was done on earth, well, how many people had access to that Soyuz spacecraft? Last edited by Reclaimedwg; September 14th, 2018 at 10:49 PM.. |

Probably the best known film adaptation is the eerie "Night of the Demon" -- which is an adaptation of his "Casting the Runes". It gets a lurid poster, but is much more interesting and psychological than the ordinary monster movie |

In the case of China, everyone is now their customer. It's becoming hard to buy anything that is not made there. For this reason alone, the Chinese do not want to upset the apple cart. However there is again the possibility of a situation developing between China and the US, perhaps by accident, or maybe the invasion of Taiwan or something connected with North Korea who remain a buffer zone for China. Should China eventually become the world's leading economy (which is quite probable) while the US begins to falter, things could be become really dangerous. ISIS will remain a long-term lower level threat, but they could become a real problem if support by a country like Pakistan which goes rogue and has a good stockpile of nukes. Islamic extremists will remain serious trouble for the lifetime of any VEF member and probably longer. Iran is yet another potentially dangerous regime capable of starting a substantial war and they almost certainly have a small number of nukes and a delivery system. The world seems to be becoming a very unstable place and resources, plus the runaway global population can only make things worse - IMHO! |

Nooooooo this is between 10.45-11,30pm each night as he has to get up early and half the time he goes off for a 20 min break inbetween so we hardly get a conversation going(via Fbook messenger) before he says cheerio! He has been without a job for aa few months, looking after his now well again mother, but he feels more secure now they have offered him a permanent place.
