This War is Going Global(thanks Putin): it's still China's!

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

Still the same BS as; Warring sides in east Ukraine trade blame for breaking truce. Which will be made better by, UN Peacekeepers In Eastern Ukraine I'm sure.

Speaking of the Ukriane; I wonder who will take advantage if something should break out in Korea?

Thinking back to when the "refugee crisis" engulfed Europe, it was "islamipobic" to think this was going to be the case: Britain grapples with ‘new normal’ as subway bomb injures 29. Now there is a wall across Europe and 45,000 Evacuated Across Russia After Wave of Bomb Threats AKA: this is NOT normal; it's war, and it's gone Global! It should be noted that Hamza, in all his recent messages, as opposed to the other al-Qaeda leaders, did not criticize ISIS at all, and ISIS on its part has not criticized him as well. But hey, the MSM isn't saying so, it mustn't be so.

Some news outlets want to portray a Russian/Assad "victory" in Syria and have been trying to follow this vein for months now. OTOH, it's been months since this so called victory was declared (mission accomplished?), and now Russia is fighting "Al queda" along with "ISIS"; while banks are failing in Russia and mass evacuations are being ordered. Yes, winning indeed...

Now that it's mission accomplished in Syria: Islamic State captures town from government. Plus, because it's mission accomplished time for Iran sends tanks to border with Iraq's Kurdish region, Kurdish official says.

Then on to Russia: Russian security service says dismantles Islamic State sleeper cell so the house of Saud can "collapse":
-Wheels and deals: trouble brewing in the House of Saud
-Arab coalition releases footage of militants targeted near Saudi borders

With the Mujahideen claiming Edmonton, Paris and Vegas - keeping in mind there hasn't been a false Mujahideen claim yet - global this is. Stay Strong; Stay Safe.

Has World War III Already Started?

With the end of the Cold War the prospect of a Third World War seemed to recede from the playbook of potential conflicts. Arm chair strategists speculated about possible U.S.-China conflicts or even a limited U.S.-Russian clash over Eastern Europe and the former Soviet States. The novelist Tom Clancy even postulated a Sino-Russian war that would see the U.S. intervene on behalf of Russia, Moscow joining NATO, and culminating in a rogue nuclear missile attack launched by Beijing against the United States. A bit farfetched given the current state of American relations with Russia. I guess that’s why they call it fiction.

It was always assumed, however, that a Third World War would be fought between the United States and the Soviet Union and that it would represent a heating up of the Cold War that would ultimately lead to a military clash over Western Europe. Conflict might breakout all over the world, hence the designation “Third World War,” but it would be in Europe that the main conflict would be fought.....

.....At the same time, both al-Qaeda and Islamic State have spread their operations around the world, creating “franchises” in several dozen countries in the Muslim world and setting up cells throughout Europe, North America, and Australasia. In the process they have demonstrated a capacity to stage low level, terrorist attacks throughout Europe, especially in France, as well as in Canada and Australia, and have attempted, so far unsuccessfully, to stage a number of attacks in the United States.

Aka.. Europe along with majority of the Eastern Hemisphere is where the main conflict will be fought. I wonder how much energy that will take?? Stay

[tyfighter3]

US oil stocks have been beaten down 70%. I don't see oil going below 50 for some time now and like Amam, where will the oil come from but North America. I think it's time to buy some oil drillers. Getting rich in the Oil Patch is back. JMO but I do own 3000 shares of OAS and 500 CLR. I also think their will be some consolidation in the sector. Klean Industries ( Green) I think could do something with carbon capture in coal fired electric plants.

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

Agreed there could be some consolidation yet. Checked out Klean hey? Should be fun to watch as "traditional" energy with a proven track record of profits swings back to the forefront. Klean Fuels, Klean Water, Klean etc, etc... Check this out my friend; Global Water Awards Names Canadian Oil Refinery As Industrial Water Project Of The Year

Also:
-Iraq made 'declaration of war' when its troops seized parts of oil-rich region, Kurdish forces say
-Islamic State-loyal group calls for people to join the jihad in the Congo

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

I hear ya ty. There is a team at the U of S that have developed a cost effective catalyst to pull off the same thing. I'm going to be chatting about a water and CO2 solution + a VC with Innovation Saskatchewan on Friday here. While keeping an eye on all things CO2...

When the objective is to destroy and rebuild in your image; who's winning? Iraq’s recaptured territory is being neglected Reconstruction in cities such as Fallujah and Mosul is proceeding slowly, or not at all

Especially when the other side is still in the same place as 15 years ago; Taliban overruns 3 districts in southern Afghanistan. Except now Europe is in deep:

-Migrant Surge Complicates Romania’s Schengen Plans
-Border checks to stay in Europe weary of attacks, migration
-Germany would rather invest in EU defense than NATO

[Aman A.K.A. Ahamburger]

Apologies it was 16 years ago today: Green Berets enter Afghanistan and today; Taliban overruns Afghan army camp in Kandahar

After months of ignoring the Philippines the media is falling all over themselves declaring "mission accomplished"; riiiight.... Hard-line Islamists are growing in power in Indonesia

Also, the GCC with the help..... next level; Qatar suggests Gulf crisis hurts fight against Islamic State:. Of course imposible because here again it's "mission accomplished!" Riiight:
