We're all focused on North Carolina & the IDF action in Lebanon. Meanwhile Russia is making huge gains in Ukraine...

Ugledar is destroyed. 71% of Donetsk region is occupied, 22% of Ukraine. Russian losses amount to 0.4% of the population, and the military budget exceeds the Ukrainian one by 6 times. They have no reason to stop. Europe either helps Ukraine or prepares for battle itself.

If China is the enemy then they must be laughing their asses off. The idea that the US especially but the West in general is depleting its war stocks for wars elsewhere is simply amazing. I would bet body parts that we don't have enough missiles, bombs, etc...to fight ONE major regional war much less two. If Iran does China's bidding and launches a major fight against Israel OR Israel does the same to Iran then our attention will be focused like a laser beam to that region. Add in the spike in oil that will arrive, outrage from the public, and economies in the West being pushed into recession all during a presidential election in America and China will have their window to strike.

We should have demanded negotiations sooner.  Our window for that has closed and all we're left with is two bad wars with probably two bad endings...no matter how we try and spin them both into victories.
