China’s integration into world markets in recent years makes military expansionism counterproductive, although its drive to build its military might is very significant: its declared defence budget has expanded five times over in 10 years to $102 billion in 2012. <br /><br />But its economic power, through trade and investment, reaches across the region and world, a reality of interdependence whose constraints are well understood by Xi . There are 20,000 Japanese companies investing in China, mostly in manufacturing, and employing 10 million Chinese workers. War with Japan? Hardly. A little bullying and muscle-flexing . . . that’s another matter.</i><br /><br />http://www.irishtimes.com/news/world/asia-pacific/sino-japanese-tensions-more-a-matter-of-muscle-flexing-than-a-lead-up-to-war-1.1619780?page=2<br /><br />. <br /><br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-4438239485657738592013-12-08T00:45:01.787-05:002013-12-08T00:45:01.787-05:00The football team there in Squat has as their slog...The football team there in Squat has as their slogan:<br /><br />"Life Sucks" <br /><br />The cheerleaders routine is squatting, which always makes the crowd arise and erect and singing:<br /><br />"If we can't squat nobody can."<br /><br /><br />:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-74211606613359848772013-12-08T00:40:20.829-05:002013-12-08T00:40:20.829-05:00.

The U.S. military presence in the region is receding. When Obama posited in his second inaugural address that “enduring security and lasting peace do not require perpetual war,” he was not only recycling a platitude; he was also acknowledging the folly and futility of the enterprise in which U.S. forces had been engaged. Having consumed vast quantities of blood and treasure while giving Americans little to show in return, that enterprise is now ending...</i><br /><br />[One can only hope.]<br /><br /><i>This de-escalation is not without risks. For as America’s War for the Greater Middle East winds down, it leaves the Islamic world in worse condition — besieged by radicalism, wracked by violence, awash with anti-Americanism — than back in 1980. The list of dictators the United States has toppled or abandoned and of terrorists it has assassinated is impressively long. But any benefits accruing from these putative successes have been few. Ask Afghans. Ask Iraqis. Ask Libyans. Or ask any American who has been paying attention. (Just don’t bother asking anyone who works inside the Beltway, where the failure of the local NFL franchise to win games produces more worry than the U.S. military’s failure to win wars.)</i><br /><br />http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/with-iran-obama-can-end-americas-long-war-for-the-middle-east/2013/12/06/4ab56fd4-5c3e-11e3-95c2-13623eb2b0e1_story.html<br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-72317573549431672322013-12-08T00:26:59.116-05:002013-12-08T00:26:59.116-05:00soooo sorry......Squat, a sub of Detroit, Michigan...soooo sorry......Squat, a sub of Detroit, Michigan<br /><br />Quirk used to 'work' as an 'official' there.......Line Judge or something.......he was stripped of the title Judge when the Court had him jailed for taking payoffs......<br /><br />His defense:<br /><br />"We all know sports is all about the money, your Honor."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-73431220498371436832013-12-08T00:22:07.646-05:002013-12-08T00:22:07.646-05:00Idaho is going to the Toilet Bowl.
