On the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) Between the U.S. and Phillipines

April 29, 2014 by Mr. Allen 5 Comments

Obama and Aquino Toasts

  The U.S. and Phillipines leadership would like to portray their new relationship as rosy, strategic and deep.  On the street though, talking to the average Joe, one might get a very different impression. Billed as the cornerstone of growing US and the Philippines strategic partnership and of the U.S. pivot back to Asia, the Enhanced Defense Cooperation … [Read more...] about On the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) Between the U.S. and Phillipines

Obama Asia tour: US-Japan treaty ‘covers disputed islands’ – A Case of Dipping into One’s Savings to Live Large?

Malaysia Airline MH370 – American Media Fanning the Flame Wars

April 22, 2014 by Mr. Allen 5 Comments

April 15 is tax day for most Americans.  It is the deadline for Americans - rich or poor - to file and pay their taxes.  But this year, it appears, it is also smear China day.  You may think with so much things going on in the world, things to do, that perhaps for this one day, China might be spared unnecessary smearing.  But it is not to be so.
