So what's up with Turkey, flexing such military might? In addition to aggressive policies with the Kurds in Iraq, Turkey has now seized a Syrian ship containing arms! Turkey's Prime Minister Erdogan has also voiced his country's readiness for war with Israel. These are very aggressive positions, and we will keep watching to see how it all plays out. Meanwhile, in other news...
Violence continues in Yemen and Bahrain; yet in these countries, the U.S. backs the governments. We regularly use drone attacks in Yemen against "insurgents."
U.S. Drones are becoming frequent and deadly in Somalia; headlines have shown 16 killed, and almost 40 wounded in two attacks. Somalia has a great strategic location.
NATO has officially extended its mission in Libya for 90 days. Was this a surprise? NATO forces were in Libya well before any bombing had started. NATO is acting in fashion much like Germany and Japan did in the years leading up to WWII.
Only one notable headline on Syria;
- Syrian forces kill 6, face challenge from defectors.
Pakistan, however, remains volatile;
- Pakistan warns, 'U.S. can't live without us.' This refers to them being our major supply route for Afghanistan.
- NATO fuel tankers torched in Pakistan.
- U.S. Drone kills three in Pakistan.
Listed in this blog are nine nations at war; I think it takes 20 to make a World War, but this is only by definition. And there is violence also in India; North and South Korea continue to have military exchanges. China still wants Taiwan as a part of it; the U.S. recently gave military aid to Taiwan, which the Chinese are protesting. Then if you include the many diverse NATO countries involved, we are well beyond the number needed for World War; more than 20 nations, on at least 3 continents (Asia, Africa, and Europe; Australia is another, for they are with NATO.).
As I have said before, we are already witnessing World War III all around us. It is unlike the previous World Wars, and it has not yet become nuclear; an aspect that most of us equate with WWIII. Keep watching diligently, for things can begin to happen very quickly. PRAY & PREPARE.
