I didn't know Russia / China were so easily provoked.

I'd recommend looking at the history of the articles. These events have been reported for several years. And at least publicly nobody knows what is causing it.

I have looked at them, I've been following this since it started. And I agree that "And at least publicly nobody knows what is causing it" (but Id also add "or even if it's actually happening at all") that's why its dangerous to say things like what was said there. If I wanted to harm America, I'd start another cold war, a great way to do that would be to manipulate a war-hungry-revolving-door-to-defence-contractors organization into making public accusations against Russia on a continual basis.

Exhibiting paranoia so great that they leap to food poisoning as evidence of beam weapons is pretty harmful, too.
