MacArthur Quotes

MSM pays little or no attention to the South Pacific and the South China Sea. News comes from Australia, India and expatriate Chinese news sources and a few sword rattling sites.

Like blackmail, it lays the basis for new and successively greater demands until, as in blackmail, violence becomes the only other alternative.”
