@TrueEyeTheSpy I just love jigsaw puzzles and I think I found the piece that has been eluding me for the longest time. So let's start with 71117 -> Nov 7/17. At 40,000 ft we find this picture taken from Af1 on the President's trip to China. Here are some pics to remind you. (To be continued) @TrueEyeTheSpy Taking the big picture approach & looking at US external forces one can see that the US is pressured from 3 fronts: Iran, China & the southern border. I am pretty certain that the southern border issue is connected to the other two forces and that leaves just China & Iran.
