Here's my scenario. Feel free to pick it apart:

- TPTB want a war in the Middle East. This is the reason for the "Arab Spring" that seemed to hand power to the jihadis.
- Once jihadis controlled most of the Muslim countries, the U.S. could be shocked - SHOCKED I TELL YOU - at the violence and terrorism the jihadis foment. It's go time!
- Putin threw a spanner in the works when he backed Syria and made nice with the regime in Egypt that threw out the jihadis.
- "We need an intervention!" cried TPTB. Well, how about distracting Putin with a war against Ukraine?

Once a real shooting war starts in Ukraine, watch to see if the U.S. moves against Assad.

Obama got an ABSOLUTELY NOT from the American people on intervention in Syria. even with the Saudis trying to coerce our participation, Obama backed off. Obama isn’t in a good position. He moved closer to impeachment with the disclosure of the Benghazi email.

He might as well resign now.

not with a bang but with a small movements like a boa constrictor. The "tell" for Soviet re-expansion in Europe is kaliningrad oblast. By Putin "normalizing" the situation in the Baltics in order to "protect" Russian citizens he can put troops there by going through the Baltic States.

That way all the Baltic States and Poland are forced to be once again under the Soviet sword.

Same as it ever was.... same as it ever was. ....and once again the United States and Europe will tsk-tsk when Poland is crushed.
