        The Surge was a failure. And now it's Obama's fault.

        You cannot make this stuff up.

                  Is it just me or does China's new J-31 stealth fighter looks suspiciously like the US's F-35?

                    That's how it works when the US manages to get a bunch of technology stolen. China has openly bragged about it.

                      If we ever decide that a Presidential candidate "must have" certain pre-requisites on his/her resume before we can be induced to vote for him/her, one pre-requisite that would be high on my list would be a basic level of competence in chess.

                      Chess started as a training exercise for generals and diplomats, on how to structure your resources while anticipating attacks from your opponents so that you also could prepare adequate defenses. I'm not sure about the statistics but I think that the plurality of outcomes at a high enough level is a draw, which is a perfectly fine outcome in many cases.

                      Anyway, so Russia invades another sovereign country and we respond by imposing economic sanctions. Let's say that the sanctions start to "bite." What kind of response might we anticipate?

                      For example, if sanctions are working, might that not increase the chances of a broader invasion, to gain control of more territory more quickly before the sanctions diminish your abilities? Might effective sanctions drive Russia to shore up an alliance with an otherwise-natural, historical enemy? and so if Russia engages in either of these actions, which one might anticipate if one actually had the capacity for forethought, what would our response be, given that we've already had a chance to think it through and have several ready on a contingency basis, just in case?



                      If your opponent is a skilled chess player and you are ignorant of the game, might it make sense to have a good chess player or two on your team and then, you know, actually listen to him/her from time to time?



                      "Hope is a good thing; maybe the best of things."

                              I just have the Seinfeld episode where Kramer and Newman are playing risk running through my head.

                              Clearly the solution is to just knock over the board in a tantrum.
