"CHINA’S chilling dictatorship is moving quickly to introduce social scorecards, in which all citizens will be monitored 24/7 and ranked on their behaviour." Is this for real? That is one dystopian future thats already taking shape right now. I was ...

The only countries that US cannot invade are countries with Nuclear capabilities. NK knows this that is why they are obsessed with this endeavour. If you look at the history of Korea then you will see why NK is angry at and distrusts the US. I think ...
