Hidden in plain sight
It is increasingly apparent Donald Trump does not have a clue about being President of the United States. His comments, questions and behavior simply suggest his knowledge of what it takes came from assorted soundbites and TV clips. However his repeated question of ‘Why can’t we just nuke them?’ is by far the most disturbing. Continue reading Post ID 16215
There is no shortage of Bad Boy Dictators in the world who have lost respect for the United States due to one reason or another. There is no doubt publically displayed political correctness has played a part in that perception of weakness as well as a very public fear of military engagement by President Obama. Donald Trump would have none of that wuss nonsense. Continue reading Post ID 16215
Whether you think North Korea will make good on it’s threats of nuclear war or not, one thing is for certain. Governments that are directly involved are having their spin doctors and propaganda machines running overtime to leverage their positions. So it is a given that what makes it to the media already has some serious spin on it. So Connecting the Dots decided to connect some dots and see what the picture looks like when you dig down and analyze some known facts and see what it spells out. Continue reading Post ID 16215
it was hard not to raise an eyebrow when nuclear threats from North Korea were specifically focused on the United States. If there were any doubts about the mental state of the North Korean leadership, those doubts have now been replaced with a desire to make a preemptive strike to stop this self fed phobic leadership from acting on a perceived threat.

There is mounting and significant evidence that inaction by ASEAN to sort Burma out has allowed a monster to hatch. Being nice to bad countries is worse than doing something about them, and such a situation is emerging in Southeast Asia. Continue reading Post ID 16215
As we continue to look at what can be defined as full frontal nudity of the US Government, it is difficult to keep from wondering what the eventual fallout will be. When there are candid conversations with the US government and government ‘x’ about government ‘y’ being exposed, the possibility of increased tension between ‘x’ and ‘y’ is a genuine reality. On the other hand it also may be seen as a call to get your head out of your ass for government ‘y’! Continue reading Post ID 16215
Some place very far down the list of countries, way past nice, way past acceptable, and in the middle of unstable and dangerous you will find North Korea. Some place else on that list you will find Burma listed as well. But with a recently discovered nuclear connection between the two countries, there are some map changing ramifications in the making.

The cross border attack by North Korea on South Korea seems to provide several similarities to the overuse of steroids. All that pumping up with nuclear ability has clearly gone to their head, and North Korea looks to be changing into a bully mentality. Continue reading Post ID 16215
Occasionally the thought floats through peoples minds about how tolerant we will be with countries that produce oil and terrorist once the oil is gone. With the growing anger against terrorism and terrorists, the urge to plant a few radioactive mushrooms is very real in the minds of many. Continue reading Post ID 16215
After hearing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s remarks at the 2010 United Nations General assembly, it is fair to assume that the majority of the countries have moved closer to feeling a preemptive attack on Iran’s nuclear ambitions is the right thing to do. Most certainly spewing arrogant rhetoric has its negative side. Continue reading Post ID 16215
When you try to understand what fuels so many of the conflicts in the world, you seem to keep coming back to the same group in the center of the firestorm. For the most part all groups are tolerant of other groups by design, less one. Continue reading Post ID 16215
