Could China and Japan Go to War?

Welcome back to The Situation Room, the every now and then show, where we take your questions about the state of the world and give our, well, inevitably depressing answers.

In this end-of-year edition, we're going to be covering fun, Christmassy topics like Sudan genocide denial, whether Mexico could be classified as a failed state, and what we've recently learned about the violence and predations of Assad Syria.

And if that wasn't enough Christmas magic for you, we're also going to be touching on the raw power of the modern Trump doctrine, as well as answering your questions about another terrifying concept, known as nuclear landmines.
