Obama is setting the stage for the next President. You think they're going to continue Obama's agenda?

Russia has over a year to prepare and set the stage.  He's playing against the real JV squad right now.

Obama is stupid enough that he may not start it, but he is creating the conditions for Putin to start it.

We need regime change and I don't mean in Syria.

This is the inevitable result of electing an inept community organizer who's only experience was creating division and hatred.  He has absolutely no idea what is going on over there.

I was actually referring to all the treaties that ended WW1, and drew a bunch of untenable borders on the map.  Be it Danzig and East Prussia, Yugoslavia, or the Mandates and countries in the Mideast.

The only thing I'm feeling fairly certain of at this point in my life is that there will indeed be some form of a WWIII.  Likely a nuke used by a radical group, then an overwhelming response by whatever country or countries were attacked, then China/Russia showing up... and on and on.

I can come up with all kinds of scenarios.  Most are completely illogical and unlikely.  One or two are almost a certainty.

We're seeing a power shift.  Russia will have permanent bases all over the region in time, and with that comes control.  Obama lacks the courage to do anything about it, and neither will any of the possible Democrat successors.

I can think of many instances of going to war being the most profitable thing to do.



Not to mention that big wars tend to rise nationalism, something we are desperately lacking as a country right now



Just a thought, no need to get pissy.

Countries go to war expecting to win. Historically, they're wrong more than 50% of the time. Like the beginning of WWI, it wouldn't surprise me to see someone or some country start something they think they have a handle on only to see it spin out of control to their eventual extreme regret.

No, you see many in  Arfcom is still focused more on general military warfare &, from my perspective, have ignored the social warfare aspect. Everything you see from the soviets since just after WWII is a combination of both.

Problem is, like I have asked before: "What is the one sure way to win a war?"

Answer: play both sides.

Unfortunately, as it is, people make jokes about those two sides & the goings on of the unilateral deception.

I think the disturbing part is NOT Russia's involvement.  Syria has been a soviet satellite since forever, nothing new there.  I'm actually surprised Russia didn't get involved earlier and they did try to warn Obama off when Syria first began to crumble.  No, the disturbing part is Iran's involvement.  They are going to be in an excellent position to have control over Iraq and Syria with hardly a shot fired.  

That puts Iran on Israel's doorstep and there's your WWIII trigger.  How long can Israel show restraint?  How long does Iran wait?  It all goes poorly, it is just a matter of when.  I give it 10, 20 years max.

Besides the utter pointlessness of involvement there, we haven't had a victory - based war strategy since ww2. We've been using Wilsonian horseshit since ww1. It was suspended during ww2, and put right back in place afterwards.

In other words, if war broke out we would commit lives, assets, and treasury to blowing up planes and killing troops in the region, and stop there. We wouldn't actually defeat russia, or iran, or syria, and change their govts. It would be a regional skirmish for... trading oil with one tyrannical regime instead of another? I won't support more dead Americans for that.

If I'm in the minority in that ooinion, fine. But I won't commit support to that endeavor.

You are, in fact, on to something.  

Admittedly,  part of me wants to see Israel release the hounds in a biblical fashion and I'm not tethered by any religious affiliation.  I know that they could make surgical moves that would debilitate the offense in short order.  This of course being anything short of mushroom clouds over Tel Aviv...
