Chuckle. Let's hope the incompetent rightist ideologues continue to lose
 the battle against reality faster than/before too many PBI lose their
lives & limbs.

What efforts? The efforts to almost completely destroy the "New World
Order" of laws etc rather than force & military competition?

Already we are seeing the other major powers realise that the stuff about
global laws etc is crap seeing that apparently they don't apply to the US
& thus given how laws apply to all or none...it's none...

Time to major "Battleship race"? 10-15 years IMHO. Russia, China,
US, India will be locked into a killer drone spendfest within that period.
The EU will be there but hopefully not in a macho way.
