I like to respond to comments. In this case, part of my response
is to call you a troll.

The reason I provided the StrategyPage article is that it's recent
(posted within the last few days), it contains a lot of interesting
information on China and Russia's Far East, and because I provided
that as a source in my article, which provides other sources as well.

If you want to go back farther in time, then just google the words
"chinese migrants russia far east", which provides links to many other
articles that talk about China's invasion of Russia's Far East.

I've dealt with hundreds of trolls over the years, especially on the
Breitbart site. One of the games that trolls play is "bait and mock",
where you bait the victim into defending his statements, then you mock
or ridicule the response and then bait him again with something like
"what's your point?" or "This is the "It's not a crisis without a war"
bit again, isn't it?" A good troll can keep the game going for many
rounds with a hapless victim, baiting the victim, ridiculing the
response and baiting him again, and so forth.

Bait and mock is particularly a game that Gen-Xers and Millennials
like to play, targeting Boomers, whom they view with contempt and
consider them to be fools. I assume that's why you thought that
rehashing the whole Russia 4T thing would be "fun". Somehow I knew it
wouldn't be "fun", and I was right.

I note again that you haven't provided a single link to anything that
supports your claims. You never do. You simply make unsupported
claims that are supposed to be automatically believed. On the other
hand, I've provided several links in my articles, and you can click on
any of the many articles from that google link to see articles that
don't support your claim.

Part of the problem is that I simply don't believe you. In
particular, I don't believe that you believe that the Chinese aren't
threatening Russia's Far East. This has been so widely reported over
the last 15 years, that someone as knowledgeable as yourself must be
aware of that, and you are just using a "bait and mock" technique by
saying that "they had actually settled all of their border disputes
over a decade ago" to have some "fun."
