“The diplomatic confusion of the Trump administration has only added to this danger, creating uncertainty around the world as to U.S. intentions and capabilities.”

I suppose that is one view, and a distorted one it is. I see more cohesion and purpose in Trump’s lead from the front diplomacy than in Obama’s just-let-sh@t-happen diplomacy. I think we are much less likely to get into a war if world leaders are a bit scared of Trump, rather than contemptuous of Obama.

No reason for us all to have to click on to the article. The five are:

North Korea

Taiwan

Ukraine

NATO southern flank

The Gulf (SaudiArabia/Iran)

I would like to point out another one. There's an article on FR now about Indian soldiers crossing into Pakistani-controlled land to kill some bad guys.

How is this bad? Sun Tzu talked about this as a strength. Keep the bad guys guessing about what you can and are willing to do.

It starts in Catalonia.

Southern Spain tries to break away, Muslims from all over Europe and ME rush in and help, then take over and establish a Muslim state.

Britain gets involved to protect Gibraltar. In no time, it's a free-for-all.

European countries with significant numbers of refugees risk internal revolt.

The NATO pact fractures, and Russia sees an opportunity to retake the Baltic states. Poland is once again overrun and divvied up, by the same two countries as last time.

Switzerland attempts to remain neutral, not so successful this time. Sweden is an active participant, after losing control of its own government.

Greece falls quickly. Italy and France hold on a little longer. For a while, Britain stands alone, but Churchill is long dead and the Royal Family is impotent.

From here on it gets Biblical.

For all intents and purposes - Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon are not even nations anymore. Nor do they function as such.

All are proxies of Iran.

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.

Maranatha!

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.
