What are you talking about?
I didn't ridicule it, I pointed out that it detailed Russian expansionism into NE Asia, opposed by China, and not the other way round. I mean, it's your article, not sure what you're disagreeing with.
This source? I don't know, John, maybe don't grab the first link that comes up on a search page. It didn't even detail what you said it did, the bit about mutual support of each other's imperial ambitions was FROM THE SOURCE YOU PROVIDED.
Could you name me an instance of this.
I linked to the Kanuri thing repeatedly, and I had to do it several times before you stopped since you apparently wrote your Boko Haram articles on autopilot. I don't know if you have the Generational Dynamics comments from the old site archived here, but I am willing to bet I could find links in previous posts.
"Never" is a very long time.
In other words, I disagree with you, ask for clarification on something, point out that the links you provide don't exactly prove your point, and you... what, pout?
This is a ridiculous response, John. I'm not exactly the only one asking why you are absolutely convinced that the 4T sides are going to line up the way you say they will, and not the only one unsatisfied with the few answers you provide.
It's a discussion forum, if you don't want to discuss your positions why respond to comments?

You should change your handle from "SomeGuy" to "SomeTroll".
