President Obama has just announced a U.S. marine base in Australia, infuriating the Chinese. He has further stated that the U.S. must reassert its role as a Pacific power. Hilary Clinton also exposes these type goals in the article linked to here. All of this has to do with exerting limitations on China both economically & militarily. This is part of the "encirclement" leading up to WWIII; and for that matter, it's also part of the provocation!
Pressure is growing on Syria, as it grows more & more isolated. The Arab League held an emergency meeting (Syria boycotted ), and gave Syria an ultimatum; to allow 30-50 observers into their country in an effort to stop the violence, or face tough sanctions.
Pakistan is also growing more consistently violent;
- U.S. drone kills 7 in NW Pakistan.
- Bomb attacks kill 6, hurt 8 in Pakistan.
Other than that, news-wise things are somewhat quiet right now. Stay alert! I will be diligent to keep on watching.
