Scout.com ^ | 12/25/17 | Robert Farley

Posted on 12/26/2017 9:55:06 AM PST by Carbonsteel

The world has managed to make it through most of 2017 [3] without the return of cataclysmic, great power conflict. In some parts of the world (most notably Syria) tensions have declined significantly. In others, already difficult situations have grown even more tense. Here are five crises that could lead to great power conflict over the course of 2018.

[The diplomatic confusion of the Trump administration]

I’m gonna say whoever wrote that line is an Obama-loving/Hillary-hugging liberal goon.

>>However, I’d say it began in 1990

We could keep walking the date back if we wanted.

1990 - When the US decided to enter a Muslim war to back the ones who made us money vs the ones who did not.

1979 - When the US and USSR decided to fight a proxy war in Afghanistan.

If we are going to consider the Western World to just be collateral damage in the ongoing Islam-Jew war, then the start could be 73, 67, or 47. Or it could be the 1880s but that makes it WW1.

I say 1993 because that’s when organized Islamic militarism attacked the United States on our own soil.

Pakistan Opens Fire Along Border Killing Indian Troops, Warns "Nuclear War Cannot Be Ruled Out"

But the rest of the world won't join in. The area would lose thousands of call center and tech support workers but, otherwise, the rest of us would stand down.

Well like I saw, the guy that murdered Rabbi Kahane was part of the same group. In the movie, actual news footage shows NYC Police Commisioner (gotta watch it again) saying

“There is NO evidence of a wider conspiracy”.

They DID NOT do their homework.

Today it’s no different than:

“Terrorism has been ruled out. We may never know the reason for the attack.”

And don’t forget Chicago, Baltimore and Detroit — all democrat-controlled cities.

>>They DID NOT do their homework.

Because, then, no one thought we were at war with a global ideology where 10% are cold-blooded killers and the other 90% are human shields, fodder, distractions—and you can’t tell them apart until its too late.

We have the same paralysis today, because we realize that and still don’t know how to fight it proactively.

So, we look for gangs or some military unit when the reality is that Western Civilization is at war with Islam, which features more than a billion non-combatants who may or may not be reserve troops. We just don’t know.

We do know that their god, Allah, is angry at us for corrupting the gospel according to the Prophet Jesus and that we must submit or die and that we will face Jesus’ wrath for what we did to turn his gospel into blasphemy. That is their belief and that kind of certainty does instill a holy righteousness in everything they do in Allah’s name.

So you think Cuba & Venezuela should have nuclear weapons?

At least Kashmir has shown restrain thus far, and they acquired the weapons because of Pakistan acquiring them.

Who is North Korea afraid of?

Certainly not the United States who has left their regime alone since the cessation of hostilities of the Korean War, 54 years ago now. Certainly not South Korea that has done the same. China was not a threat, nor have they ever threatened China with retaliation, probably because China has been an ally.

LOL, sorry about my previous post. I thought I was answering someone else on a different topic.

I just listed the areas the article stated. I think India/Pakistan is a very real possibility for the next World War to start. Primarily due to water issues.

Don’t forget Texas and Missouri. That’s an ugly mess already and one of them will get worse.

Technically still 2017 but nukes could take weeks to escalate.

Damascus will be the first city nuked since Nagasaki in either 2018 or 2019 whenever Israel decides to deal with Iran/Hezbollah. Russia, Turkey, and Iran will foolishly attack Israel for this once Damascus is destroyed. Those nations, will also cease to exist after their failed evil plot. We’re living in the End of the End of Days. Spoken of more than 2500 years ago.

Amen Roman - and so very true.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

When Trump was elected, and things turned around from the living hell that was the 8 years under Obama, I sometimes saw the world with less apocalyptic eyes. That was a mistake on my part that I have since remedied.

During the Obama Reign of Terror - it was very easy to watch the descent into the abyss from the front row seats on the 50 yard line. Almost every action that evil man took was to destroy and to bring us closer to The End.

I believe Rev. Franklin Graham when he says that Donald Trump prayed the sinners prayer a few years ago during Rev. Billy Graham's 95th birthday, and Trump is a saved child of Christ. I also believe that God is working through Trump to bring about His mighty plans.

And now we see Jerusalem at the forefront of world news and events, and with it the possibility of soon rebuilding the Third Temple.

And what else? Cyrptocurrency. Trans humanism. "Bio-Hacking." And the global, one-world Ecumenical rhetoric and plans of Pope Francis.

Hang onto to your seats brothers and sisters!

Love you all - and Happy New Year.

I remember Nixon said the first nuclear exchange on this planet will be between
Pakistan and India.

Add:
- the border between India/China;
- border between India/Pakistan;
- SE China sea (not Taiwan) between China and other nations.

Course no one bothers to mention Africa where stuff has been happening some time. Then there is a possibility Venezuela will erupt into civil war.
