stay close people, the world is getting more and more violent,
and we may well need each other sooner than we think,

Will argieland finally remember that China, Iran, North Korea and Russia is “not on their side”? A little bit of research shows that 3 out of those 4 states only use other countries. Here's some useful thoughts. The People's Republic of China can do nothing against Taiwan. Iran can only depend on funded terrorists. Russia flexes its few remaining muscles. But it was reduced to agreeing to military supplies in exchange for food. You backed the wrong side!
