#1 ION TOPIX > THE AFGHANIZATION OF CENTRAL ASIA
[US Policy Planners may unwitting be exporting Afghanistan's various Security, Governance Crises, etc. to its neighbors in CENTASIA/CENASIA i.e. TURKMENISTAN, UZBEKISTAN, TAIJIKISTAN.

IMO sub-read, CHINA + RUSSIA + INDJUH, espec the two former Cold War nukulaar protagonists.

#2 WORLD NEWS > [NYT Artic] RETHINKING THE PACIFIC.

LEW KUAN YEW - [paraph] The 21st Century will be marked by a CONTEST FOR GEOPOL-GLOBAL SUPREMACY in the Pacific. No State which desires to be a WORLD POWER, EXPAND OR STAY A WORLD POWER will be able to do unless can hold/stand their ground in the Pacific agz all other competing Nation-States.

I can agree.

* 1960's-early 1970's GUAM TAOTAMONAS > As US power wanes vee other World Powers [China], it may choose to deny strategic Pacific Islands to geopol enemies or opponents by destroying same via undergound nuclear detonations which cause the lands to implode + collapse upn itself.

* ISLAM + A FUTURE TROUBLESOME VIRGIN = Madonna???

D *** NG IT, you just know ANGELINA will have something to say!
