While the United States and the rest of the world are distracted by the ongoing machinations of an approaching U.S. election, Russia and America are edging ever closer to a direct military confrontation in Syria. With the brutal offensive in Eastern Aleppo as the backdrop, the potential for confrontation between these two old enemies is no longer a fantasy.
In the corridors of Moscow and the Pentagon there is a growing sense that just such a military showdown between the two Cold War super powers is an inevitability at this point.
The ramifications of such a confrontation, obviously, are huge. Up until now the United States and Russia have been actively opposing each other in Syria only through proxy groups, but that is now changing. Aleppo, the raging crux of dispute between Russia and the United States, is proving to be a tinder box that neither side can ignore.

Hurry! Push the reset button.
Superpowers? Russia actually has a leader. Over here? A freaking community activist parading as a President. God help us.
Hillary Clinton will get us into a major war if she is elected.
Not an idiot , it is being done on purpose.
He is the enemy .
You bet
Obama=Muslim terrorist
Americans=idiots
[Not an idiot , it is being done on purpose.]
Correct.
And THAT is all obama really cares about.
Dangerous times, dangerous times.
Ever since the Soviet Union fell, I have not worried about nuclear war. Now, it appears I may start worrying again.
I live right next to a major Joint Base. I can pretty much guarantee there’s at least 2 Russian warheads targeted here.
I work equidistant between a major Navy shipyard and a ballistic missile submarine base, both of them no more than 15 miles away. Another guaranteed two warheads at least.
The balloon goes up, I’m effed.
[ I happen to believe the Tribulation is close. Very close. ]
Yeah, it feels that way to me too, brother. Guess we’ll see.
At a minimum, some very strong birth pangs.
[ Dangerous times, dangerous times. ]
Yes, indeed my FRiend.
I’d have to say Obama and Hillary really got the ball rolling with their “Arab Spring” and having NATO bomb Libya. Then sending those weapons to rebels. And then Obama, with apologist and cheerleader Hillary, have now turned Syria into something that’s rumbling World War IV.
It’s mind-boggling to see this unfold in front of our eyes.
And it makes me wonder if Obama is going for “Gulf of Tonkin II” because we’ve had a warship fired on with 3 cruise missiles off Yemen.
