And the escalation is growing there. No matter how stick sticks. I would not want to.

So, "IS" is stationed in Indonesia with its connivance on other islands, or on those on which it will deploy military aircraft

To us, only sales of Rosoboronexport will grow

Rub for a hundred, the Americans conduct !!!
Around them, you need to start a mess, according to their own manuals !!!

Redistribution of the region. The US is insinuating. And they themselves are pressing China.

[Barakuda]

Yeah .. China has one more appetite. The main thing is that I wouldn’t open my mouth to the Far East.

The main thing here is not to click your mouth if he sees that it will not cost him much, he will certainly expand, and we will split into some places as soon as we see what can be taken at a low price - geopolitics is predatory.

It is useless to him to the Far East, his third territory is empty.

China would not go anywhere if not for the risks from the United States on the supply routes.

[Mavrikiy]

A little strained and oil from B. Vostokav China will not get. China is doing everything right, but not enough. Pipelines need to be pulled. But expensive and tight binding to the supplier.

It seems like the Power of Siberia is being built little by little, although the news has quieted down recently.

Indonesia is a part of ASEAN, whose members are Vietnam and Cambodia, which also "breathe unevenly" in the PRC.

[Vivan]

Among ASEAN member countries, Vietnam and the Philippines are in tense relations with China, to a lesser extent Malaysia and Indonesia, as well as Myanmar (Burma). Thailand and Laos are neutral, while Cambodia is most supportive of China.

What the ** 8 in the text? Indonesia has no official territorial disputes with China. Unofficially, the truth is. In Indonesia, there is a solid Chinese minority.

All weapons have a sea. Everyone has a claim to their neighbors. All teeth snap. One hundred years ago the whole planet was already biting two years ago. Can we hold on now?

[rotmistr60]

In vain they are so in relation to China. China will not miss such an attack. Indonesia is obviously not enough of its internal problems, they also decided to tease the PRC.

[Gunther]

Clearly, China is jumping with its hegemony in Southeast Asia, a matter of time.

[ser-pov]

We have our own, not small borders that need to be protected! Therefore, we will see ... Second Damascus can not be allowed ...
