So they'll be a little more cautious than that

I believe you

Usually trolls end up leaving because they don't really piss the people here off

Yeah

‘Progressives’ get pissed off incredibly easy

Just being a conservative is enough to make them flip a table

cause they're retards

Yup

Howdy back.

They have been doing that for a while

Russia and China are stepping their game up

The missile flight duration from the arctic to the US is way shorter than from Russia and China itself

Estimates of untapped oil and natural gas are as high as $35 trillion, the financial news site noted, or about one-fifth of the world’s untapped, so-called “fossil fuel” resources. In addition, there are “a range of mineable minerals” in the region “including gold, silver, diamond, copper, titanium, graphite, uranium, and other valuable rare earth elements,” CNBCreported.

I'm pretty sure we would have a shorter distance for a missile to travel (bases in Europe)

So what you're saying is, it is no biggy that the Russians and Chinese have captured the northern arctic?

I never said that

I said 2 things
1. They have been taking over the artic for a while
2. We more than likely have a shorter distance

Yeah.

But isn't it problematic?

However, you are right. It is a big deal. Russia has been making a lot of moves lately

A permanent presence of Russians and Chinese in the arctic region can have profound implications for the future

Another example, Russia sent 2 nuclear-capable bombers to Venezuela

These Russians are crazy

While we had all of our focus for the past 20 years on terrorists

They had all the time to do whatever they want

It's unfortunate, We are more than capable of out-doing anything they can do but we dont seem to be doing so

It is dangerous. And alot of it has to do with that Iraq war of 2003.

That lagged alot of potential global moves.

Also China is becoming problematic. Example: The islands they are building in the South China Sea (The most important trade route in the world)

Can't stop them from doing that, it's within their region of influence

Yes, but it is international waters/airspace and they are restricting air and sea travel

Just like Russia in the Crimea

Things like international law are constantly changing and challenged
