If this is not handle properly - whereby it is seen as Sunni vs Shiite - the whole Middle East indeed will turn into red hotspot - a religious war between the 2 Islamic sects.
US will be in a spot - if it is seen as siding any 1 sect.
However, if US succeeded in unifying the Shiite, Sunni and Kurds together - to prevent extremists from capturing territory to form a "Terror Hub" - then the volatility of Middle East will be controlled and not turn into a 2 Sects power struggle.
If handled carefully, this threat can turn into an opportunity to reconcile the 2 sects and turn the hotspot into a spot of peace and harmony.

Then the chances of the formation of a "Terror Hub" right in the middle of Middle East - will be greatly reduced. The "Terror Hub" forms - because of the struggle between the 2 sects.

I think it is reasonable that it is the right of any Countries in the World to protect their own territory. This is the right of a soveriegn country.Reply
However, where cases which is not yet recognised on those disputed land or islands or waters - where 1 or more than one Countries also have claimed, then using force or coercion to stake the claim - has fall into the grey areas of hegemony or aggression.
This is because what China felt to be your territorial rights is also exactly what other claimants felt about their territorial rights - as long as the disputes are not wholesomely resolved.
Only resolving the disputed claims by :-
The 3 wholeome resolution methods with the "Neighbor Dispute Analogy" have the following elements :-
(1) direct talk and negotiate in a peaceful manner to resolve the dispute (through give-and-take attitude, through sweeten deals by incorporating other economic deals to resolve the territorial claim) ----- 人情。
(2) call a 3rd party – eg. Police, counsellor or someone where both can trust to settle the dispute eg. UN in a rational, logical and adult manner – with “give and take attitude” ----- 理。（讲理）
(3) Both neighbors subject themselves to Court Arbitration process – by producing documents to support their claim and honour the Court Judgement. This measure is undertaken by Singapore and Malaysia claim on 5 outcrop rocks follow by sweeten deals by incorporating other economic deals to resolve the territorial claim ----- 法。（法律）
人情，理， 法 - are the 3 best wholesome peaceful resolution methods to resolve dispute because both disputant parties will accept the outcome with 心服口服 - and will no longer trigger future dispute and conflict.
China is aspiring to be a SuperPower, but must possess the characteristics of a wholesome values of a SuperPower that International Community from their Heart and Mind are 心服口服 . A SuperPower that resolve issues by 人情，理， 法.
Please see the news report below :-
"It is important to note Taiwan people's growing distrust in the Chinese Communist Party is not only from what Beijing is doing to Taiwan such as blocking Taiwan's participation in international organizations, but also what Beijing is doing in Hong Kong and in the region," said Mingchuan University professor Chen Chao-chien, referring to China's seemingly provocative moves in both South and East China Seas amid rising tension among the various territorial claimants."
The above sentiment is felt by the International Community because 公道自在人心。
China has come very far to become an Economic Power. But for China to progress further whereby it is accepted by International Community with Heart and Mind as a wholesome SuperPower, China must progress with a more wholesome System as well as able to win respect and affection from the International Community by resolving issues with 人情，理， 法.
To be honest, USA has possessed this quality - this is what many members of the International Community felt - even their past adversaries or the current one.

To determine whether China has reached the stature of what USA is enjoying as wholesome SuperPower in the eyes of International Community (whether friends or adversaries) in terms of :-
Economic influence,
Political influence,
Education influence,
Science and Techology influence,
Social influence,
Military influence,
etc.
How the members of International Community react and respond to China is a good measure - whether the stature of wholesome SuperPower has been reached.ricky l • Remove
Honestly, other than Economic influence that China will catch up with USA soon
Political influence,
Education influence,
Science and Techology influence,
Social influence,
Military influence,
Plus the following areas still have a large gap whereby China need to improved on:-
(1) Legal System
(2) Political System
(3) Political, social freedom, free speech and human right
(4) Resolving disputes - especially territorial disputes based on wholesome resolution methods based on negotiation, arbitration or by legal international law. - ricky l • Remove
When i say influence, I mean reach, acceptance, learning, engaging and adopting.
USA and the West influence - are long, extensive and intensive to have reached the stature of wholesome SuperPower.
And USA and the West influence has such a reached - are not due to using of force or coercion - but what members of International Community felt that they are wholesome, freedom, engaging and progressing.
In this regard, China has a benchmark to strive to achieve.
And the fastest way China can achieved - is to Win the Heart and Mind of the International Community. And the fastest way for China to Win the Heart and Mind of the International Community is not to emphasize force or might - but through 人情，理， 法.

This Site Shows Who Is Hacking Whom Right Now — And The US Is Getting Hammered
By Jeremy Bender | Business Insider – 14 hours ago

With current Network and IT technologies, I thought mapping likely cyberattack into graphic interface - from source to destination plus what type of attack are not a too difficult things to do.Reply
In fact, aritificial intelligence such as expert system to recommend counter measures to block, prevent, mitigate or rectify cyberattack can also be developed.
For eg. valid IT transactions are what is expected - based on what they are programmed to do. The moment the supposedly vaild transactions or "out-of-the norm" actions are done to access a host, a website, a server or a network devices - then it is deemed to be a cyberattack, and when this happen the source devices that attempt to do this "abnormal access activities" and in particular, abnormal repeated access should be raised as alarm and appear on the graphic interface of the suspected cyberattack monitoring system.
For eg. of authorised, normal and valid IT transactions are :-
(1) Web access - to do normal public web or intranet web browsing, posting, valid online form completion etc.
(2) Application access - normal application transaction based on what IT programs are written to do - eg. accepting inputs from web-services, update database etc.
(3) Database access - normal database access by application program as programmed.
For eg. of unauthorised, abnormal, invalid IT transactions are :-
(1) ping sweep - to detect and learn IP address of all the network devices, servers, virtual machines and servers etc.
(2) tcp sweep - to detect tcp ports for access to tcp applications
(3) udp sweep - to detect udp ports for access to udp applications
(4) many unauthorised access - like attempt access directory services, access database bypassing application program access, keylogging of userid & passwords, sniffing and capturing system data, snmp data, logging data, rmon mibs, snmp mibs, access files and folders, access system folders, files, registry etc
There are many security products, software, system out there that can detect many abnormal IT or network activites - when they are properly correlated, perform security analysis, forensic etc. - will be able to provide a good estimate that cyberattack has taken place - and this can be send to the graphic interface of the suspected cyberattack monitoring system.
Eg. of security products, software, system that can prevent or detect suspected cyberattacks are :-
(1) firewalls
(2) IPS or IDS - ie. Intrusion Prevention System, Intrusion Detection System - network or host
(3) SIEM - Security Intrusion Enteprise Management System
(4) Anti-virus software - to detect, quarantine or clean virus, worms, spyware, malware etc.
(5) Data diode
(6) IPsec VPN, SSL VPN
(7) Central Logger - to consolidate all system, server, network logs
etc.
ricky l • Remove
In addition, the following are already possible :-
(1) Network Management System - can already make use of SNMP MIBs v3, v2c, v2, v1 and RMON MIBs or ICMP discovery - to display the health, availability, performance etc of all network devices, servers, Virutal Machines.
(2) Application Management System - can already monitor the health, availability, performance etc of most if not all Web services, Application services, Application Program, Databases etc - using the respective applications templates and platform or TCP, UDP discovery.
(3) Security Monitoring System - based on the all the system logs, secuity logs, access logs etc collected from all devices, security probes etc = to do detection, analysis, forensic etc
Thus developing a Cyberattack Monitoring, Alert System is not a too difficult task to do.
Moreover, everything happening in the Internet are based on TCPIP - whether IPv4 or IPv6 that are using standard protocols and internet services like mac address ip, snmp, dns, dhcp, telnet, ssh, ssl, ipsec vpn, html, xml, tcp, udp etc = which are traceable from end to end - ie. from source to destination and from destination to source.

If Kim Jong Un is assassinated, then the North Korean leadership will have a power vacuum. His generals will fight amongst themselves for the top position, dragging China, SK, US, and perhaps Japan into the conflict.
To my knowledge, assassinations never work out as expected. Just look what happened to Iraq when Saddam Hussein was killed. -
