Nomadic tribes who can live off harsh land are almost perfectly suited for the Russian steppe. And still the Russians ultimately drove them out. The blood of the Slavs is that of warriors.

The old bear may be wounded, but it is far from dead. China would do well to let it sleep, else the Red Dragon may find its head in a scarred, mighty paw. I have little doubt the Chinese would make good progress initially, until the sheer vastness of Russia hits home. Then there is the, as I...

People might disagree, but I do ponder whether or not Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan could actually beat back China on their own. Regardless, it's a fight Beijing probably doesn't want. But if the situation did blow up, what's the reckoning Vietnam leaps at the chance to put a knife in China's...
