#1 Meanwhile, "BATMAN VS SUPERMAN:DAWN OF JUSTICE" fans, NOT to be outdone by the Germans ...

* TELEGRAPH.UK . JOHN MCCAIN, LINDSEY GRAHAM CALL FOR 20,000 US TROOPS IN SYRIA AND IRAQ.

10K in Syria + 10K in Iraq - mostly Advisors + SPECOPS - in addition to a new 100,000 Sunni Arab Coalition force.

* WASHINGTON FREE BEACON: US SENATORS SEEK MORE US ARMS FOR TAIWAN. MCCAIN, CHARDIN WANT OBAMA TO BOLSTER ISLAND DEFENSES [agz China].

IMo prolly safe to say that Washington is well-aware that China's aggressive moves n East Asia-Pacific [WestPac] means TROUBLE = US-CHINA MILITARY CRISIS IN EAST ASIA-PACIFIC IS COMING, + SOONER NOT LATER.

* FYI YAHOO NEWS > [Value Walk] US FACES CHINESE NUCLEAR WAR THREAT IN SOUTH CHINA SEA DISPUTE.

Yuuup.

Over the East China Sea + Taiwan + IOR also.

* TELEGRAPH.UK > JAPAN BOLSTERS DEFENCES AROUND DISPUTED [East China Sea = Okinawa Archipelgo-Perfecture]. Contingents of JGSDF Troops includ SAMS + ASBMS/SSMS to be deployed to Ishigaki, Miyako, + Awanami-Oshima islands, in addition to already = pre-existing JSDF capabilities on Okinawa Island per se to greatly improved or expanded.

* WORLD NEWS > JAPAN OFFER TO DEPLOY SDF FORCES TO DISPUTED SCS MEETS WID CHINA WARNING.

"US-style", "US-par, OWG Co-Superpower China wants both "post-US" Manifest Destiny, + its "Sphere of Influence" befitting a Superpower andor "Co-Superpower" sibling of the US, + IS WILLING TO RISK OR WAGE MAJOR WAR AGZ THE US-ALLIES TO DO SO.

Beijing would like to take this post-Thanksgiving 2015 holiday opportunity to once again politely remind Japan + US-World that IT HAS NUKE WEAPONS THAT CAN STRIKE + WIPE OUT BOTH JAPAN + CONUS, WHILE JAPAN PER SE HAS NONE.

NO WAY IN BUDDHA'S GREEN EARTH THAT CHINA WILL ACCEPT OR ALLOW JAPAN TO BE ASIA'S OR EAST ASIA'S #1, LET ALONE THE LEADER OF ANY ASIA OR EAST ASIA-BASED OWG GLOBAL UNION(S).

* JAPAN TIMES > [Large fleet of PLAAF] CHINESE MILITARY AIRPLANES FLIES NEAR OKINAWA ISLAND DURING DRILL.

* GLOBALNATION.PH > UN ARBITRATION PANEL: [PH Legal Team] CHINA TRIED TO "PHYSICALLY EXPEL" PHILIPPINES, from disputed Ayugin Shoal AKA Second Thomas Shoal.

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS [repost = old] > CHINA HAS STARTED CONTRUCTION OF AIRSTRIPS AND PIERS ON THREE MALAYSIAN ATOLLS.

YOOHOO, SWEET CAROLINE KENNEDY, I'M STILL A'LOOKIN AT YOU, BABE.
