ela ela thawath war ekak.. US economy ekata budhu saranai.. 14 Trillion budget loss eka me year eke thawath wadi wewi.. china is going to be number 1 quickly if this war starts

and Obama will definitely lose the next year presidential election

PS : Manjula Peiris's New York prediction is going to be true if this war starts.. way to go america..

china is shit comparing to russia. even US have doubts on how strong russia is
