Jon Huntsman, the former Ambassador to China, is getting nervous about how things are playing out in Asia:
“The tensions are real,” he said, citing the two nations’ maneuvering over islands in the East China Sea. Risks also are being raised by expanding activities such as surveillance flights in the region by other nations, including South Korea and Russia, he said.
“I worry about the military maneuvers in crowded airspaces and sea lanes” where an incident can escalate into something “beyond anyone’s ability to then de-escalate it,” Huntsman said in an interview on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital with Al Hunt” airing this weekend.

It is true that the most wicked and powerful in the world are agitating for war. This time we will see nuclear war and it scares me to death. Why is man so evil? There is a high road that takes us to peace and prosperity but the greedy and mean ones cannot see it.
“Why is man so evil?”
Because he is born with a sinful nature, one that was inherited from the first Adam, which is why he was provided with the free gift of a redeemer, Jesus Christ, and His life saving redemption if man would but accept Him and His offer of free redemption. For many the prince of lies, Satan, proves too tempting to reject and his lies thus become the basis for sinful man’s behavior whence man can and often does become evil. Evil visited Cain and Abel, the first born of Adam and Eve with Cain becoming the first murderer for no other apparent motive other than jealousy. And so it has been since the beginning of mankind. Evil enters into the hearts of men and they act accordingly.
You are so right Sam i don’t understand why people can’t leave one another alone it’s all greed all we would have to do is show love to one another and help each other.
It might have helped if someone had said, Japan and China, not the USA and China.
