'Taking Down' Islands in Western Pacific is a 'Core Competency' - US General
It's no secret that Beijing has developed artificial islands and militarized maritime
features in the disputed South China Sea.
If there were ever a war between China and the US, a senior US general is confident about
the military's ability "in the West Pacific taking down small islands."
"I would just say that the United States military's had a lot of experience in the Western Pacific
taking down small islands," Lieutenant General Kenneth F. McKenzie, Jr said Thursday when
prompted by a question of whether the US could destroy Beijing's man-made islets.
The general emphasized that he was not issuing a warning.
One "shouldn't read anything more into that than a simple statement of historical fact,"
he said, referring to the US military's maneuvers in the Western Pacific during the Second World
War against Japanese-controlled islands such as Iwo Jima, Okinawa and Tarawa.
One Twitter user, a self-styled Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom
veteran, said "those attritional landing battles suuuuuuuuuuuucked for us, even with the islands
cut off from supply and pounded with naval gunfire.
Any battle with anywhere near that level of US casualties would get everyone fired today."

Problems Foreign Born Actors Face In The U.S. (Including O-1 Artist Visa) by Karan Choudhary - Duration: 5:34.
Hi guys, my name is Karan Choudhary and I was born and raised in a small town Faridabad
in India.
Before becoming an actor I was a salesman in a clothing store and I used to sell shoes
and clothes in Connaught Place, New Delhi.
And right after that I became a gym trainer and I was a trainer for about three to four
years and after that I moved to Bombay to pursue my career as a model and actor.
And in 2013 I applied at The Neighborhood Playhouse to study acting in New York City.
So I moved here in 2013.
Since then I'm actively pursuing acting and recently I started making my own projects.
Last year I made a documentary (DEDICATION) and this year I made a short film called NEW
YORK'D. I wrote it, produced it, directed and acted in it.
NEW YORK'D has been accepted in many film festivals and we have won about five awards
in various categories.
"…I have a date today and because of you, I'm going to miss it."
Karan as Sean in NEW YORK'D
[Scene to NEW YORK'D movie]
[Text appears and delivery man shows Karan the phone]
"Hey, look…my boss" Kyle Mcllhone as The Delivery Guy
"Alright, I've also got to go."
Replies Sean
"Just pay me and deal with your own personal problems later, huh?"
"My personal problems?
You're the one who is causing these personal problems."
"What?
Are you blaming me for getting yourself locked out of your apartment?"
"You are the delivery guy.
You've got one job to do.
If you had done your job like you are supposed to."
"If you'd cook your own food like you're supposed to…"
"You make a living because of people like me."
"And you get to enjoy hot food in bed because of people like me."
"Yeah…where is it?
Where is my hot food?"
"I just want to get my money and get out of here."
"Hey Sean…"
Voice from the sidewalk breaks up the conversation.
Karan Choudhary: The number one problem that I am facing (and I'm sure a lot of people
who come from different countries are still facing) is having to deal with their immigration
status.
People who come from different countries and to pursue their career as an actor in this
country (United States) you have to have the Artist Visa.
It's really hard to get an Artist Visa and even if you have the Artist Visa a lot of
the production (film and TV both) would still not give you the job because they consider
people who have green cards or people who are citizens of this country.
So all that work that you put into getting the O-1 Artist Visa, it's almost useless.
The only way to get the jobs and pursue a successful acting career is to get a green
card.
And how I am facing that problem and trying to solve it is by making my own projects.
The faster you can apply for the green card, the better for you.
And a way to do it is make as many projects as you can, take them to the film festival,
let's see if they win some awards.
Get press.
And then once you have enough projects about yourself, then you can apply for the green
card and the chances are you will be much more successful.
Another problem that I'm facing is financing for projects.
I had an idea.
I wrote a script and now I'm going into production.
But when it comes to budgeting I was surprised that turning a script into a film is way hard
than I thought so what I did budgeting wise that my latest film NEW YORK'D was originally
written according to night night sequences.
So we turned the night sequences into day sequences so that saved me money on the lighting.
There was a lot of shots of which I planned in Time Square which which is really, really
hard to get along with the equipment and crew and especially shooting and retakes.
So what I did was I took all those sequences and put it in a Greenwich Village streets,
which are much easier to shoot, much nicer to look at on camera.
The other problem was the crew.
So a lot of jobs were distributed to my actors, myself (I was doing probably three or four
jobs on the day of shooting) so I cut a lot of crew and that saved me a lot of money and
that's how I was able to shoot NEW YORK'D under a very limited budget and in just one
day.
There's another problem I face and I'm sure a lot of first-time filmmakers are still
facing, that they have finished their first film, how do they take it to their audience
(especially to the film festivals)?
If you go on Film Freeway's site, there's about six to seven thousand festivals listed.
Each festival would cost you from $30 to $60.
If you decide to submit your film in 20 festivals, that's going to cost you a lot of money.
So what I did, I wrote a personal email to every film festival that I wanted to submit
and even more.
I sent a personal email to more than a thousand film festivals saying "I'm an immigrant.
This is my first film.
And all I want is some sort of a discount or waiver."
And you would be surprised what a success it was.
I was successful in 90% of the time.
I submitted by second film NEW YORK'D in 60 film festivals and 50 of those film festivals
gave me full waiver.
All you've got to do is ask because the answer is always "no" until you ask.
Thank you so much for watching this video.
I would love to know what kind of problems you are facing, especially if you happen to
be from a different country or any other visa problem or if you're an actor and trying
to make your own projects and the problems you are facing.
Thank you so much guys.
Bye!

World War 3 WARNING: '30 minute countdown' when Russia strikes US, claims David Meade - Duration: 5:41.
The self-titled Christian Numerologist, who is popular in the conspiracy theory circuit, is concerned the US is ill-equipped for a potential all-out global conflict with the East
Questioning the possibility of a World War 3 outbreak in the near future, Mr Meade concluded "the risk of total war is upon us"
Penning his conspiracy thoughts online, he wrote: "American hegemony is effectively over for all practical purposes
"Russia is not looking for World War 3, but is fully prepared should it come about
"And as far as Syria goes, God help us if some neoconservative starts talking about 'defeating' the Russian troops in Syria
"This is the kindling for a World War 3 with a foe that is so technologically developed, I don't dare estimate the outcome
"According to Mr Meade, there is a technological gap between the two superpowers which one day could lead to the US' untimely demise
Linking his bizarre claims to supposed prophecies in the Christian Bible, the conspiracists argued Russia's missiles have the power to strike the United States with unlimited range and trajectories
The resulting barrage of firepower would bring the US to its knees in just 3 minutes he stressed
Mr Meade said: "The RS-28 Sarmat missile has been known to the CIA for years."It has unlimited range and trajectories which render defence impossible
"We have nothing comparable to Russia's hypersonic Mach 2 missiles, either. "North Korea is not mentioned in the Book of Revelation, but Russia is
" And the strategic implications of such a conflict are incredibly far-reaching, the conspiracist added
If Iran and Israel were to be dragged into war alongside their biggest allies then the ensuing conflict would herald the end of the world as we know it
He said: "Would anyone really not agree with me that we areinthe End of Days?"Following the tense standoff in the Middle East, Mr Meade similarly claimed both President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart were prepared to reach for the red button
He said: "Trump is not afraid to use the military, unlike his predecessors."But how will Putin react? Will Russia at some point attack NATO and the US? If it attacks one, it has to attack the other
"But is there any credibility to Mr Meade's conspiracy claims?UN Secretary General António Guterres revealed on Friday tensions in the Middle East are threatening to boil over, with Iran, Israel, the US and Saudi Arabia in the mix
World War 3: The conspiracist warned Russia could wipe out the US in just 3 minutesMr Guterres President Trump to alleviate the risk by maintaining peaceful relations with Iran through the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) treaty
He said: "The risks are there. I think we need to do everything to avoid those risks
"I believe the JCPOA was an important diplomatic victory and I think it is important to preserve it
"I also believe there are areas in which it would be very important to have a meaningful dialogue because I see the region in a very dangerous position

U.S. slaps EU, Canada and Mexico with steel tariffs - Duration: 2:57.
The world may be teetering in the brink of a full-blown trade war.
This,... after the Trump administration announced it's imposing steel and aluminum tariffs on
three of America's closest allies -- the EU, Canada and Mexico.
The U.S. tariffs will come into effect in around six hours from now.
Lee Seung-jae reports.
A full-scale trade war could be on the horizon.
The U.S. is imposing tariffs on aluminum and steel imports from the EU, Canada and Mexico,....
a decision that's overshadowing a gathering of G7 finance ministers and central bankers.
The decision ends months of uncertainty about possible exemptions and is sending a chill
through financial markets around the world.
U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross says the 25-pecent tariff on steel imports and ten
percent tariff on aluminum imports will be imposed on the EU, Canada and Mexico starting
at midnight Eastern Standard Time.
Responding to the move,... the EU said it will retaliate by targeting three-point-three
billion dollars' worth of American imports,... like Harley-Davidson motorcycles, Levi's Jeans
and bourbon.... and will also start a case against the U.S. at the World Trade Organization.
Canada said it will impose tariffs on as much as twelve-point-eight billion dollars of U.S.
steel, aluminum and other products starting July 1st.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau described the U.S. measures as "punitive" and "unacceptable",...
adding that the tariffs "will harm industry and workers on both sides of the Canada-U.S.
border,... disrupting linked supply chains that have made North American steel and aluminum
more competitive around the world".
The Mexican government also said the U.S. action was not justified.
It has vowed retaliation,... threatening to impose duties on everything from U.S. flat
steel to cheese.
Despite the retaliatory warnings,... the U.S. commerce secretary says Washington is not
concerned.
" Well even if the EU does retaliate and even if some others do, it still will remain unlikely
to be as much as one percent on our economy.
Remember just because they put tariffs on some of our products, it doesn't mean those
sales will go to zero.
And in the case of agriculture, they may very well find other markets that are just as good."
While the world may be closer to a full-scale trade war than at any time since the 1930s,...
observers say the Trump administration is using tariffs to squeeze better trade terms
out of China and the EU,... while putting pressure on Canada and Mexico to reform the
North American Free Trade Agreement.

Pentagon says U.S. is maintaining readiness against N. Korea as situation develops - Duration: 0:42.
The Pentagon says the U.S. remains prepared against North Korea-- and that it's maintaining
a high state of readiness despite recent developments on the Korean Peninsula.
Director of the Joint Staff Kenneth McKenzie told reporters at the Defense Department on
Thursday, that although the North has not conducted missile tests for quite a while,...
it's necessary to prepare for the worst because it's difficult to predict North Korea and
what will happen in the future.
He also said that President Trump's maximum pressure campaign led to the current situation,...
and so the troop levels and the joint exercises with South Korea and other allies in the region
are unlikely to change.

God's Purpose Makes Us Positive - Duration: 2:57.
My wife works at a library,
and so often she brings these books home.
And some of the ones she brings
for me to read are historical fiction novels.
And I think, and you kind of get this idea
of what it would have been like to live
during that time.
And I just read a book that
happened during World War 2.
And you would think
that if you lived during World War 2
in London, it would be the most
depressing time in your whole life.
And this, you'd think,
"My lot in life has put me here
"where literally, the blitz is
"happening around and my world is blowing up."
However,
Sebastian Junger did some studies
and determined that the people
who lived in London
during World War 2 were in fact happy.
They're happy for a simple reason:
they had a purpose.
They had a purpose to stay alive
and win the war.
Now we've been talking about how
can we be positive as believers.
And what are some things that I tell people.
And we're positive that God has a plan for us.
We're positive that God knows who we are.
We're positive that our sins are gone.
And you would think, as a pastor,
my last thing, of course I would tell them,
"When I'm really struggling,
"I think about heaven."
I'm going to let you in on a secret.
When I'm overwhelmed with work,
when I'm overwhelmed with projects,
there are relationships that are very difficult,
I don't really
think about heaven.
The thing that gives me comfort
is to know that we have a God
who set out a purpose for me.
This is what is says in Proverbs.
These are deep waters, it says.
The one who has insight draws them out.
And who better to draw the insight of
your own purpose than our Lord.
In Timothy, it says a little bit differently,
God has called you to something different.
And I find that there's a sense of comfort
when I wake up in the morning
and when I'm working with people,
you're struggling to figure out
what am I going to be doing with my life,
there's a sense of comfort
that God not only has the plans for you,
but God has a purpose for you
that gives you reason and meaning
to interact with people
and to, to help people and to love people
and to serve people, all in Christ.
And how do we do this?
Because we're positive.
We're positive God knows who we are.
We're positive our sins are gone.
We're positive we have a purpose in this life.
And we,
we're absolutely positive where we're going.
Let's pray.
God, today is a brand new day.
We want to be happy, of course,
but we know that happiness comes with being positive.
And there's a certain
place where we stand with you.
We know that we're forgiven in Christ
and we know that
you know who we are, and there's
a plan, even for me.
And even for me,
you have a purpose.
Amen.
