Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

North Korea is a puppet of China/Russia. The idea is to dissipate the strength of your potential foes. Any US Forces reinforcing South Korea/Japan are not necessarily in a position to support or reinforce Taiwan.

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

Fullmoon - I have started to look at the sources you provided in your links. I had been looking at the two guys I mentioned as a way primarily to learn about Chinese culture (esp the changes under Xi). I am sure I will learn more from the two ladies as well. I certainly agree with John about US weak...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

I have been watching a lot of videos on youtube by two guys, one American the other South African, who lived in China for 10-12 years. They worked and biked around the country, are both completely fluent in the culture and even ended up with Chinese wives. They seem to understand a LOT about Chinese...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

Central and South America have always had corruption problems, predating the drug trade by centuries. The drug problem gave the "bad guys" a LOT more money and thus greatly magnified the problem. At this point there is no solution, but a large war would interrupt illegal trade about as much as regul...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

Corruption, Drug Money - Drug Gangs, near Anarchy. Another country south of our border implodes. I don't see how the country digs itself out of its current mess without draconian measures, which would lead to a whole other slate of problems. Note that this was once one of the better places in South ...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

I was an engineer fighting communism working contracts for the military and intelligence agencies. I used my brain rather than carried a rifle. So, yes, I think myself smarter than most. I don’t see this as improper or part of some grand conspiracy. I just pushed my schoolwork a little harder than ...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

The people coming out of Africa and or Arab lands to Europe, and those coming out of Central America to the US are doing so because of the lack of economic opportunity, coupled with the fact that their lifestyle will be provided for in either destination. It has nothing to do with the colonialism or...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

One of the core problems with Liberalism is the double standard. For the conservative, the belief is that justice is blind, and that all should be treated equally. This is not so for our liberals (and calls by the conservative for this are treated as “fascism” – which they do not understand is actua...

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News

As I wrote earlier about different generations having blind spots, even thought Navigator is obviously intelligent and has a lot of training , experience and education he has generational blind spots that are obvious to me. He clearly gets a lot of his worldview and info from mainstream sources so ...

I wonder if he's watched the new riveting Netflix doom and gloom movie. It's pretty riveting if you think a cyber attack is probably coming as we're told by the FBI director. It's a good movie but maybe too scary for those frightened by Doom and Gloom.
What's the name of the movie? Curious.
