From 1950-1970, Soviet Union shot down 20 + American planes. Outside Korean War, U.S. shot down only one Soviet plane. Why? U.S. rules of engagement are much tighter and fear of triggering a nuclear war. A nugget from www.alaskaveterans.org

A fantastic evening at #Taiwan National Day with flamboyant and razor sharp London Representative Vincent Chin-hsiang Yao. In its current mess on how to define #China, #Britain could learn a lot from Taiwan. The trick is to know your enemy, rival, threat....and keep trading.

The Trump-Putin summit brings awareness of the U.S.-Russian border. In these two photos by Poulomi Basu, a Little Diomede islander checks a military watchtower on Russia’s Big Diomede Island. The border, and the international dateline, runs between the islands which are only 2.4 miles apart.

A rare photo by JoAnn Kaningok of Russian helicopter over Big Diomede island on U.S. border. Civilians were moved off in 1948. It’s now a Russian outpost with a helicopter base. JoAnn took the shot from her civilian American island of Little Diomede less than three miles away.

The Trump-Putin summit shines a spotlight on the U.S.-Russian border where the distance between two nuclear powers is 2.4 miles -- not 51 miles as widely reported. Poulomi Basu's photo shows Russia Big Diomede island on left and U.S. Little Diomede civilian village on right.
