Will Syria in 2016 be like the Balkans in 1914?

My readers know that I have a certain sense of history…..I also look at international situations that could potentially turn into a major world conflict…….I keep my eyes on the doing especially armed conflicts that have all the appearance of turning ugly and extremely deadly…..

Most people take the news they get from the worthless MSM with a grain of salt…..most cannot see post their personal prejudices….there is a problem there with that type of mental process…….the most famous example as I can give is the Balkans of 1914….

Is it possible that Syria is just such an event?

Only calmer heads will prevail…..all you need is to study World War 1 to see what happens when a calmer head was not available…..

      1. Americans need to leave others alone….if there is a global threat then maybe some intervention but diplomatic only…..chuq

      2. True, but we seem to be leading the pack…..the UK will follow like a lost puppy…..others do the same….the US could change all that but will not the profits are way to large….chuq

      3. Iran is an interesting case….they have become embolden in 2003 and they will make every opportunity to take advantage…Israel is just a plain racist government bent on total control….Russia is trying to reclaim lost territories….this will be the events to watch…..chuq

      4. Iran is lobbying for the Shia wing of Islam, Saudis for the Sunni.Turkey and Israel raking in the petrodollars from ISIS getting Oil at Half the prices the World pays.

      5. Of course all that is just what I see….but I think Central Asia is a key to what happens in the near future

  1. Good observation, as well as proper synthesis of data…. Well done.

    Time will tell; it always does….. Damn thing just can’t keep quiet….

    gigoid, the dubious
