- So predicted no less an authority than Marine Corps Commandant Robert Neller, a man not prone to drama or hyperbole. Though he seemed to be speaking specifically of the prospect of a hot war over Europe, he might as well have been referring to the prospect of a war among the US, Russia, Iran, Israel, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states in and over Syria. Secure in power once again, Assad has demanded the withdrawal of American forces and raised the specter of conflict if they do not. President Trump appears eager to confront Iran militarily if it responds to his scrapping of the nuclear deal by increasing its regional meddling and/or resuming its nuclear program. Meanwhile, Israel has struck Iranian forces deep inside Syria and Lebanon. How likely is such a big power war and are there ways to counter it diplomatically?

Bit biased no? What about China/Taiwan/U.S & Turkey Northern Cyrpus?
South China sea is where it will happen
Not wrong. China has been buying up asia pacific nations one at a time for a while now. They leased a large island for like 70 years from a place near Vanuatu and build a dock to house large aircraft carriers, which is a strategic possition to fight Australia and the US. Iraq and Syria is nothing compared to what's going on right now around Taiwan...
Yep.
The EU's spending on defense, did not go quite like it was supposed to. Merkel had pushed hard for all the EU militaries to basically mirror each other. The idea was to basically buy all the same stuff, use all the same technology, have a central command structure, etc... While on paper that sounds good.... That would have made them essentially one larger military, instead of a bunch of smaller un-unified ones. The problem is in the growing instability within the EU. The mistrust, and a desire for some countries to possibly exit the EU. That is not an environment for building a "dream team" of strategic power, within Europe. NATO's support for non-NATO countries, in the EU, is murky. Also, economics is quickly becoming a factor. And another thing that they are not addressing....... the dictatorship of political correctness. Political correctness is swallowing up Europe and much of the rest of the "free world". So you will see push-back in the form of Nationalism. European proxy wars are whats coming next. The US will be forced to prop up the EU, and Russia will do what it can to destabilize it. China will agitate the Pacific, and keep us moving around. The waters will be tested in other regions with proxy war... like whats happening in Venezuela. Russia never bought into political correctness, so they will not be shedding that while trying to fight wars at the same time. Same for China. Russia will agitate places, where we already are, to keep us tied down there (i.e. Iraq & Syria). The US has to spend a lot of resources on bases world wide... Russia and China do not. They have agility on their side. If China and Russia play it right. They will be up against smaller pieces of the US military. Russia and China's per dollar defense spending, goes further because they don't support a world wide base network. And neither have all the ongoing conflicts that the US has to deal with. So I thinks its a little differently than they described. The middle east will still be a factor, but it will become more isolated. The wars probably rage on there... but not be as crucial as what happens in the rest of the world. The west will involve itself, but only to maintain some oil paths. There won't be any "nation building" thats for sure. The long and short of it all is that the world is bracing for conflict. Russia and China's only hope is to keep the US military spread out, and keep expenses high for them.
Trumps diplomacy with Korea is about not being able to go to war on two fronts. I thought that immediately. Right now a fishing for allies is taking place AND WITH NO DELAY. time or the situation wont allow a lack of diligence.
These people are war criminals and I'm including the liars on this show.
we have a lot to pretend... Protect. some Froidian shit there. 😅
True. Pray & read the bible everyday. Own a firearm & ammo.
