Mounting Evidence Putin Will Ignite WWIII
By letting Putin get away with whatever he likes in Syria, Obama has created a deeply dangerous situation

Relations between Russia and Turkey have been dismal since late November, when a Turkish fighter jet shot down a Russian bomber on the border with Syria, killing its pilot. That began a war of words between Moscow and Ankara that ought to concern everyone, since the former has several thousand nuclear weapons and the latter is a member of NATO.
Kremlin propaganda against Ankara has increased of late, setting the stage for further confrontation. As I explained here last week, Russian media outlets initially blamed the Sinai crash of Metrojet 9268 last autumn on the Islamic State, an atrocity which killed 224 innocents, nearly all of them Russians-a quite plausible claim. However, the Kremlin has abruptly shifted course and now blames the mass murder on Turkish ultranationalist terrorists, without any evidence provided to support that explosive assertion.
Where things may be going between Russia and Turkey, ancient enemies who have warred many times over the centuries, was evidenced this week, when the Kremlin announced large-scale surprise military exercises in the regions of the country that are close to Turkey. Troops were moved to full combat readiness, the last stage before a shooting war, with Sergei Shoygu, the Russian defense minister, announcing on TV: "We began our surprise check of the military preparedness in the Southwest strategic direction."

Sweden is apparently preparing for war with Russia.
Putin says practice of Russian army's surprise inspections to be continued
excerpts:
The Defense Ministry said the maneuvers involve up to 8,500 personnel, 900 units of military hardware, 200 aircraft and helicopters, as well as 50 vessels. The ministry said forces and facilities of the Central Military District are involved in the maneuvers.
Yeah.. like Toy-Yip Errdogan and his support of ISIS isn’t a contributing factor..
Not a real risk.
1. The rest of the world has no chance without the United States.
2. Everyone in the world, on all sides, knows that Obama is a sissy who would never fight a real adversary.
3. Putin is not a moron and will back off once the United States has a real president.
Be on alert should the Pope go to Russia for a visit.
What do you think they will talk about if they meet?
The Pope will give him heck for not being a good communist.
You don’t wake up one day and find everyone deciding to have a war.
It starts bit by bit until everyone is involved
I maintain it has already started, and will INCLUDE civil war inside the USA
It has been the dream of every Russian Tsar since Peter the Great to take Constantinople the Bosphorus and the Dardenelles. Putin is no different.
How is Russia igniting WW3 if Turkish troops go into Syria?
The Soviets also wanted to take Turkey.
I've kept that thought in the back of my head for a while now, but only recently has such a thing even seemed possible, let alone likely.
Anywho...just a "for what it's worth"...
Obola created the crisis which is threatening Europe, Russia and the world, by supporting Al-Queda, overthrowing ME gov’ts, and Creating ISIS.
He has destroyed our remaining moral authority, which neutralizes America, both externally and internally.
Our military capability is demoralized by this terrible “Commander-in-chief”, via his lawless reckless actions.
This is all playing out like a Christian conservative end-times novel...
Im not sure it works exactly that way. Chairman O has weakened our military to the point theyre nothing like they were when he took office. Hes done this by PC (climate change, homs, women in combat etc etc), humiliating our military numerous times on an international stage, running off good officers replaced by those unquaified to run a war, prosecuring wars in name only, training with enemy militaries so they can get first hand knowledge on how we operate etc. Were beatable now even with a govt who isnt playing games. That and our economy couldnt sustain a protracted war. If Barry leaves office on schedule the damage is done of many years into the future. Our enemies know this and when they think its feasible attack.
Most of the damage to our military is quickly reversible. I have had access to enough information, including direct observation, to know that (1) Obama has tried to destroy our military in the ways you mention and more ways, and (2) the pathetic loser in our White House has to a large extent failed.
Basically, Turkey and Russia military could clash head-on in Syria, and it escalates into a full-scale war. Since Turkey is a member of Nato, U.S. and Nato would be pulled in.
Amazingly so. What we're seeing is like a reading of Isiah, Ezekiel, Mathew 24, and Revelation - and especially for us, those prophecies about the end of age Babylon.
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear. - 2 Chronicles 7:14
