Failures for war in Syria, complications in Ukraine and Venezuela, probably havent dampened the Machine, (Deep State or Neo-Cons)(whatever the term makes you comfy)...probably has embolden them, the rockiness of Chinas current economic situation (in a shorter amount of time than the US it has raised it debt situation to the mythical Minsky Moment) so Taiwan, Tibet, Hong Kong, Inner Mongolia...several out liners in the One China State could be in play...Im sure we have Agency boys, Cowboys and threat of Jackals whispering sweet nothings into the ears of several oligarchs and newly minted millionaires...not just the duplicity of what the Military and State Department tells the folks in those outlining areas...but surely Richard Gere has been dispatched personally to several NGOs working the Free Tibet racket....the world is is a little unstable from my vantage point, economies have stalled globally, theres the Last Gasp Resource scramble, and Sun setting on an Empire that the only thing it can do is project military power From the piece At some uncomfortably close date, the PRC will be strong enough and the US protestations of resolve and capability will be suspect enough that front-line states like Japan and the Philippines and Vietnam will seek their own, independent mix of confrontation and accommodation with the PRC while US leadership is increasingly honored “in the breech”. One of the awkward truths of US China policy is that it appears to be increasingly driven by an anxiety that the PRC is becoming stronger and more aggressive, and the United States is under a certain amount of pressure to make a move to cut China down to size “before it’s too late”. counterpunch.org/2014/03/20/after-kiev-is-tawain-in-play/
