China Joining Russia In Syria Brings Risks Of World War
IBD ^ | 10/10/2015

Posted on 10/10/2015 6:23:18 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

American Decline: Chinese forces head to Syria to join with Russia in filling Obama's power vacuum and purportedly fight the Islamic State. A false move involving NATO member Turkey could mean world war.

Russian and Chinese military sources now confirm that Chinese warships are en route to the Middle East to get in on some of the action of humiliating the U.S. In just a week and a half, Moscow has upended the dynamics of power in the Mideast by taking on the role that President Obama relinquished: acting like a superpower in a regional conflict that has implications extending far beyond the region.

Russian ruler Vladimir Putin launched airstrikes against rebels opposing the terrorist Assad regime in Syria, first with a modest force to gauge the U.S. response and perhaps pull out if threatened. Seeing no threat, Putin has been intensifying Russian operations, even sending in Spetsnaz special forces troops.

China's entry means two major powers are stepping in to do what the U.S. was unwilling to do against IS. It's a lesson in how fast the tables can turn when America displays weakness — losing wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and proving to be ineffective against IS despite fighting it for a year and three months now.

Our commander-in-chief even admits that he has no strategy against the monstrous caliphate that his very own policies of weakness brought into being.

This Obama fiasco should please the Putinistas who put their hatred of Obama above their love of the US, and who love Putin more than the USA.

Asked to comment on this, Obama said,

“Anybody seen my golf shoes?”

While we look to the Mideast, someone should keep watch on the Senkaukus and the Ryukus.

Gog and Magog, Ezekiel 38 & 39 are coming to past. The LORD God of Heaven and Earth is bringing this world to its explosive end. He is in control. The End Days are racing towards that final battle of human kind, Armageddon. If you don’t know the LORD Jesus Christ as your Savior, I would suggest you come to know Him and SOON!!!!! Just call on His name and be saved. Time is running out on this sinful world and God is going to judge everyone. Time is short. Believe it or not. Your choice. He gave you choice. Make the right choice. Maranatha!!! Come quickly LORD Jesus.

"You go to war with the army you have---not the army you might want or wish to have at a later time." -- Rumsfeld

Obama has crippled us. The men and women we have in the military today are very fine people! But the military itself -- the culture -- is crippled.

In WWII, we designed new weapons and manufactured them quickly and in quantity. WWII was a pretty squick war for us and we accomplished a lot in a short amount of time. Today, that just won't happen. A new ship can take 20 years from idea to commissioning. A new plane can take 15 years. And when we have a new plane (ex. F-22) we build 150 of 'em.

We are not well positioned to fight either Russia or China -- let alone both. And we do not have time to get ready. They know that.

No one is afraid of us. Why would they be?

The recent discovery of a massive oil deposit below the Golan Heights is the hook in the jaw of Gog that will cause Russia, China and Iran to attack Israel and fulfill the prophesy of Ezekiel 38-39. And we know that God will supernaturally save Israel. Maranatha.

I read Ezekiel 38 and 39 thank you. I know how this turns out. Just never expected to see it in my lifetime falling together like a jig saw puzzle putting itself together with unseen hands

Neither Obama nor the many millions who voted for him twice ever thought his policies of weakness could make things this bad.

I would not expect foreign policy to be high on Obama voters motivations. - Tom

If this turns into World War 111, then that can be the only legacy of the obuma administration....I hope the people that voted for him, not only once but twice, can live with themselves.....

A bit tongue-in-cheek, I’d expect “little less conversation” from Obama administration.

I predicted this a couple years ago, that Russia and China know they have a golden opportunity to make all the moves they want while the feckless Obama is still in office. This will usher in a New World Order that does not include the U.S. The next American president will be faced with a daunting task, thanks to Obama and the reprobates who put him in office. Remember them, remember those who put him in office, because they are responsible for this madness; remember them, especially when the SHTF.

If homo's reign of incompetence/muslimevil leads to WWIII then I doubt the sooty imprints of his former voters on the remaining slabs of concrete in what were once major cities will be doing much living with themselves at all.

World War III?

We had the greatest generation in WW II where even celebrity actors and athletes put their careers on hold to fight for this country.

How many such people do we have today?
