#1 Becuz, ya know,"devastating" milstrikes is how Battles + Wars are won, + "WINNING" BATTLES + WARS IS JUST NOT GOOD GLOBALISM!

IMO Artic + SecState Kerry read, MILSTRIKES WIDOUT FOLLOW-ON GROUND TROOPS = GROUND INVASION.

OWG GLOBALISM = LIMITED WAR = WHERE ONE CANNOT EVAR!? CONFIRM OR DENY "VICTORY".

"Limited War" is what Putin is effec doing agz the US + NATO-EU vee the UKRAINE-CRIMEA CRISIS - IT IS VERY LIKELY ALSO WHAT CHINA WILL SIMILARLY DO AGZ THE THE US-ALLIES IN EAST ASIA + PACIFIC.

* TOPIX, WORLD NEWS, BHARAT RAKSHAK > US THREATENS CHINA WID RUSSIA-STYLE SANCTIONS, iff it attempts any Crimea-style unilateral military -led takeover of foreign sovereign territory, i.e. Japan + PHIL + ASEAN.

VERSUS

* OTOH DRUDGEREPORT > [Christian Science Monitor] CHINA WARNS IT CANNOT BE CONTAINED AS US DEFENSE SECRETARY [Hagel] VISITS.

IOW, China m-u-s-t geopol expand.

WID US CONSENT OR SILENT ACQUISENCE???

* BIGNEWSNETWORK > [World Tribune] STUDENTS PROTESTERS [anti-China,Trade Pact]WARN CHINA WOULD DO TO TAIWAN WHAT RUSSIA DID TO CRIMEA.

#2 Kerry let the regime kill the Jihadis then we take action against Assad.

It seems that Libya will be the next headache for the West.

#3 How's that chemical destruction coming along, by the way?

After he disarms, the - like Moo-mar - Champ can still waffle again and release some "kinetic action" on Pencilneck - if we have any left...
