talking to a friend tonight...his nephew works for the gov. Didn't tell me what part, although I believe something dealing with military.
Said the 2 to watch are china and iran.
China has been building a runway off of a "no nation" island, for years. Hauling dirt, etc. Guess they are now done or close and it will allow striking capabilities to hit Hawaii or west coast.
Iran, with the "new deal" now, IF they get to 18/20% (not sure what percentage) of nuclear "stuff" - again not sure, that Israel WILL bomb the crap out of them and take that capability away. Israel doesn't give a @hit about the UN.
Again, this was his nephew's take. I believe his nephew has some knowledge of it all.
This may be old news (china) so please spare the historical comments.
