Rogue Nation @ MindSay

The Axis of evil was at one time: Iraq, Iran and North Korea. Iraq was bumped from that list.

I guess the next Axis of Evil would be Syria, Iran and North Korea. All three are rogue nations destabilizing peace in their regions.

Now I am reading in the Scotsman.com that Burma is preparing to join the Axis of evil club. Burma is already a rogue nation with a horrible human rights record. The nation is ruled by a military junta Dictatorship.

Apparently Burma is rich in natural resources and is prepared to profit on those resources. Who is paying for the natural resources? China, Russia and India.

Russia is aiding Burma in preparation of nuclear plants. Does that sound familiar?

China is buying oil and setting up naval bases on Burmese islands. This is part of the Chinese military strategy known as the “String of Pearls.” This is a reference to China’s growing military that is ever increasing Asian hegemonic power.

India is not happy with China’s emerging military via a nuclear navy in the Bay of Bengal.

India is competing for oil and gas exports from Burma by selling military arms. India is loosing that wooing game because Burma is allowing China into the Bay of Bengal and Russia is fulfilling a nuclear aspiration. This means India has a nuclear competitor in Pakistan and China and potentially Burma and Iran. India is being surrounded. India has been in Russia’s orbit for years. I am thinking this nuclear power encircling of India may force India to become a full partner of America.

The Scotsman.com reports one other tidbit about Burma wanting into the Axis of Evil club. Burma has normalized relations with North Korea: The bad boy that relies on China and threatens South Korea, Japan and America.

Iran wanted to humiliate the British by sanctimoniously proclaiming there would be no negotiation for marine/sailor release until the Brits admitted their cohort was in Iranian waters.

The British have responded with the smoking gun proof that indeed it was Iran that violated Iraqi waters and in an act of war kidnapped the British Marines/Sailors.

Obviously Iran is using some kind of threat on the captured Brits, for the lone female was made to say on video the Brits were in Iranian waters. So despite the pictures of the captured Brits heartily eating a meal, some kind of mind manipulation or extortion is in play.
