Discuss this Rant at the Podcast Table inside the Diner
Snippet:
…There are any number of things going on here at any given time these days, you have China and Japan in disputes over the South China Sea and Senkaku Islands, Thai Color Wars ongoing all the time, the North-South Korea endless conflict, but the HOT one of the day here is China vs Vietnam.
Similar to the Russia Ukraine conflict, this is NFL Linebacker vs Jockey territory in terms of outright warfare, but of course as the Boys in Black Pajamas proved during the LAST conflict over in Vietnam, assymetric warfare is not waged well by the Industrial War Machine, so by no means can you say the Chinese will walk all over the New Vietcong. If the Chinese decide to go in on that one, they’ll be in the same sewer the FsoA was in the 60’s, and the French before them when they tried to hold onto the territory as a Colony…
For the rest…LISTEN TO THE RANT!

And the hits keep coming! Fascinating as usual. Nero had his fiddle and RE has his microphone.
Looking forward to the next installment…
Besides the FFD Rants, coming in the next couple of weeks we have some very interesting Guests we are working on getting Collapse Cafe interviews with. We also have 2 more parts from the podcast with Steve from Economic Undertow almost finished in post-production to go up. Stay tuned to the Diner Channel for further announcements. đŻ
