U.S. drops 'mother of all bombs' on Afghanistan, largest non-nuclear bomb in arsenal

Oh there will be a Q4 all right.

On the one hand, what the Chinese may fear is that NK launches an attack on SK and Japan, anti-missile missiles take out its missiles, Pyongyang is flattened, the régime collapses and millions of starving refugees cross the Chinese border, causing destabilisation. Q4 happens with Trump’s prestige enhanced and he decides to go for more military solutions, since the refugees are not affecting the US.

On the other hand, there may be a Q4 where nobody presents the results because there is nobody to hear them.

Das Firmament blaut ewig, und die Erde
Wird lange fest steh’n und aufblüh’n im Lenz.
Du aber, Mensch, wie lang lebst denn du?
Nicht hundert Jahre…
Dunkel ist das Leben, ist der Tod! (Lied von der Erde)

The heaven is blue eternally, and the Earth will long stand fast and bloom in Spring. But you, man, how long do you live for? Not a hundred years…dark is life, is death.

I thought it was democracy he wants to destroy. He wants a US government all right. To misquote Terry Pratchett, One man one vote. And he wants to be the one man with the vote who tells the executive what to do.
