i have no idea where this is leading, because i’m not a military man nor can i read the minds of the leaders of countries.

I suspect those on the board with military backgrounds have a much more keen sense of what may occur next and would love the input.

this is not “kissing up”, this is asking experts what they think?

if you ever have questions about advanced Excel and PowerPoint uses, feel free to ask me :)

Let's try looking at the options:

1. Turks/Saudis try to bomb Syria -- Russian air-defense is likely to make this prohibitively costly.

2. Turks send armor (tank brigades, being readied now) across the border -- With Russian air superiority we may see their tanks going the way of Saddam's tanks in 1993.

3. Turks limit the aggression to cross-border shelling --- not clear if Russia will respond.

4. Turkish/Saudis gambit is to suffer heavy losses in 1. and/or 2. but trigger a World War (nuclear exchange) between the US and Russia. This would be obviously to their benefit, and given the level of competence our famous golf player tends to show, cannot be excluded.

Any other options?

Well I’m no expert, either. But I do know that the Turks and Russians have been going at one another for several hundred years. Add to this the involvement of the Wahhabis, a soon to be (if not already) nuclear Iran and of course the Israelis stuck in the middle & the results could be epic.

You don’t want to know what’s coming. Governments getting rid of their debts by killing those stupid enough to be holding their debt notes. The military is just the tool to get the job done. Film at 11.
