Serbs hint at the issue of secessionism?
Who was it that said one of the most dangerous outcomes of
the Ukrainian event would be Second / Third Orders of Effect.... The Law of
Unintended Consequences?
I always hate to say, " I told you so"... but...
" I told you so"!!!!
Here is the bad news.
These three actions are more than likely only the beginning
of the Ukrainian fallout!
Why... there was even talk of Orthodox nations needing to
come together!!!
Where have we heard that before....hint.... think 1854!
While all of this was
taking place, I couldn't help but notice the leadership of the US was in Eastern Europe
and more or less....drawing "redlines" again!!!!
If you have three or four redlines that have been trampled
out in front of you......do you really think the next "redline" is
going to have any impact at all?
Is the message; "ok....this time we really...really
mean it"?
An as for those countries where these new redline type of
statements were made... take a guess what they think.... at least in private.
If I had to grasp for some example of minor success, I would
wish the Israeli strike into Syria
would be an example of the West letting the Tsar know not everything is going
to go his way.
Here is the problem, I don't believe that to be the
case...not at all!!!!
My theory is the reason we witnessed the largest air strike
into Syria
since the beginning of the conflict based upon an even more pressing problem
for the West.
In my opinion, the message was clear; " we are not the
West".... We will not step backwards from a threat"!
What the IDF accomplished was to not only put Assad on
notice, but Hezbollah as well.
It would be more than foolish for Assad to be convinced by
the Tsar or the Persians that he can act like the Tsar and Israel will act
like the West.
What is working for the Tsar could prove to be disastrous
for Assad and his Puppet Master's in Tehran .
By the end of the day, one fact stands clear.
Where this is all heading is not just up to the President of
the United States
and the Tsar.
That is how the game was played in the "old" Cold
War.
In this new version... many players have the will and
capability to change the playbook and that makes this a far more dangerous Cold
War than in the past.
