Re: 3-Nov-16 World View -- Hong Kong legislature in chaos, under threat of intervention by mainland China
John, could North Korea simply be a pawn of the Chinese? Could Kim Jung un just be a puppet of the Chinese? You seem to think, if I follow you, that he is really in charge. I find it difficult to believe North Korea could survive without Chinese support.
Do you see any time line forming on the war in Asia yet? How long could this situation drag out? It seems to me that Korea will be in a war in a matter of months. Could the next war in Korea be contained to just the Korean peninsula, like the first Korean war?
I worry about the future. I hope I pass away in my sleep before a nuclear war. I used to think nuclear was unthinkable, but after reading the articles on your site, I realize it's more than possible, it's inevitable. How awful.
I'm exhausted. But thank you so much for this website. It's better to know. I 'm grateful to you. Sorry, it's difficult for me to express myself sometimes. I just wish I had found this site 10 years ago. I would have lived my life differently.

Nobody knows what's going on in North Korea. The article I wrote a
couple of days ago is a good example. Kim's wife hasn't been seen in
public since March. You'd think someone would at least know whether
she's dead or not, but the analysts in the Chinese, South Korean
and Japanese media have no idea.

Probably the best answer was given by someone else in this
forum a while ago:
impossible to predict what event will trigger it, or when that will
happen. The analogy is to the "straw that breaks the camel's back":
You know that if you keep piling straw on the camel's back, then it
will break, but you can't predict which straw will do it.
However, when war does hit, it certainly won't be confined to just the
Korean peninsula. The 1950s Korean War was fought during a
generational Recovery era (First Turning). Today we're in a
generational Crisis era (Fourth Turning), so there's no comparison.

Re: 3-Nov-16 World View -- Hong Kong legislature in chaos, under threat of intervention by mainland China
Not sure how much you've been following the goings on in Korea; especially in relation to Ms. Park, their president, but things are deteriorating domestically. I like Ms. Park, but realize she's done some stupid things (however, Korea is as corrupt as they come, so her opponents do NOT have clean hands either). Although I do like some of her policies, I do worry that based on her history (she lost both of her parents to assassination), I do worry she might overreact to some event conducted by the north (as proxies of China), which would lead to a greater conflict - specifically if/when she finds herself needing to detract attention from domestic issues (fomented by leftists funded by north Korea and China).John wrote:Nobody knows what's going on in North Korea.

I can't discern what the geopolitical significance is, if any.
Here's an interesting article that just came out today:
http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_ ... andal.html
Re: 3-Nov-16 World View -- Hong Kong legislature in chaos, under threat of intervention by mainland China
When do you see Hong Kong protests being crushed by the PLA? Will young Hong Kong Chinese continue to protest even if it means being killed by Chinese soldiers? Didn't the Hong Kong Chinese learn that the Red Chinese mean business from the bloody crackdown of 1989?
How many more years will peaceful protests in Hong Kong drag on? This has been going on for almost three years.
Is an independent Hong Kong a realistic scenario?
I'm not impatient, but it seems like the Chinese could wait another 100 years before they finally rise up.

Has the election of Trump changed your timeline, John? Could world war be averted if Trump takes America isolationist?John wrote:100 years is forever.
The Russians were talking about "taking advantage of " a geopolitical window of opportunity". That sounds bad for Europe.
In WW2 we sold out Eastern Europe to defeat Nazi Germany. Could America sell out all of Europe in order to defeat China and the Sunni Muslims? Donald Trump is aware of every slight directed at him. He knows the Europeans have been slagging him off. I doubt he would lose sleep over Europe.
