How informed are you when it comes to world hot spots?

[DEFCONWarningSystem]

When it comes to North Korea, Israel, India/Pakistan, China, Russia, and the United States, how informed do you consider yourself?

Do you know about military actions involving those actors? Do you follow developments closely?

Or do you consider yourself more "out of the loop"?

Do you do your own research? Or do you rely solely on the Main Stream Media to tell you what is happening?

Or do you follow nothing at all? (If you're taking this poll, this last choice is very unlikely.)
