The new evil Axis Powers are Russia, Islam (ISIS and friends), China, and North Korea. Each of them are on the move, and moving in either an expansionist manner, or doing all kinds of chubby saber-rattling. Let's examine a few, shall we?
Russian aircraft head off U.S. destroyer in Black Sea: RIA
Russian military aircraft were scrambled to head off a U.S. warship that was acting "aggressively" in the Black Sea, state news agency RIA reported on Saturday, but the Pentagon denied any unusual behavior.
Islamic State Announces That Southern Israel Will be Attacked In Coming Days
They might just be trying to strike terror into the hearts of Allah’s enemies, as the Quran commands (8:60) — ISIS routinely issues more threats than it follows through upon. But does it have plans for jihad against Israel? Of course. Islamic Jew-hatred: it’s in the Quran.
ISIS Boldly Announces That Southern Israel Will be Attacked In Coming Days,” Jews News, May 29, 2015:
ISIS terrorists in the Sinai Peninsula linked to the radical Islamic State group reportedly threatened Thursday to strike the port in Israel’s southern city of Eilat “in the coming days,” according to Egyptian media.
“They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.” Psalm 83:4 (KJV)
According to reports, the Islamist group Sinai Province, formerly knows as Ansar Bait al-Maqdis, “threatened to strike the Eilat Port, following coordination with Islamic State’s wing in the Gaza Strip.”
China Says It Could Set Up Air Defense Zone in South China Sea
A Chinese admiral said Sunday that Beijing could set up an air defense zone above disputed areas of the South China Sea if it thought it was facing a large enough threat, according to Chinese news media.
Adm. Sun Jianguo, deputy chief of staff of the People’s Liberation Army, speaking at a regional security forum in Singapore, said that China had not definitely said it would create a so-called air defense identification zone, but that any decision would be based on an aerial threat assessment and the maritime security situation. He also said other nations should not overemphasize the issue.
The creation of an air defense zone would be viewed by the United States and Southeast Asian nations as a huge provocation. In recent years, foreign officials have speculated whether one of Beijing’s next moves in the South China Sea would be to set up such a zone, which would further solidify China’s military presence in the waters.

US To Encourage China To Pressure North Korea On Nukes
How to deal with the rogue nuclear nation of North Korea remains a thorny political problem for leaders across the globe. The constant threats and saber-rattling from the cunning, but clearly deranged North Korean leader Kim Jong Un leaves leaders little choice other than to maintain the international isolation and boycott of the country. But by the same token, the growing threat of a megalomaniacal despot at the helm of a nuclear-armed nation can't just be ignored.
