THE MIDDLE EAST…….WHERE ARE WE NOW…. THE PERFECT STORM?
October of 2014. The last time I placed my thoughts on this
blog. Why? Well, I dedicated my time to
several other good friends who had the opportunity to influence readers more
than I did. Vanity is a relative concept
when you begin to realize just how important events have become and that is my explanation…
at least…..part of it.
I can’t go back and cover what I’ve not posted here since
October of 14 and those that incorporated my opinions and predictions….well…..they
did the best they could at getting their version of what was taking place out
to the world.
Did I lose confidence
in those that I supported?
No!
Yet, the time has
come for me to speak freely and that implies not working my words through
someone else’s editing.
Have I transitioned from impartial, analytical, to….well……something
else?
To some degree………….yes.
Will I still base my theories on impartial review?..............
Yes.
Will I remain “analytical”?........... Yes………..but with a
little bit more…let us say…….push!!!
The Perfect Storm?
When I review what I posted over five years ago, dating back
to the day the “Arab Spring” began……. The Tunisian Virus…..yes…. I still hold
on to that term of reference, it amazes me just how disastrous this journey has
become, not just for the Middle East, but for all of us.
Five years ago, some predicted, prophesized, just how
dangerous the events in the Middle East could become. Most talked of Civil War
for Syria and some spoke to the issue of an eventual “Regional War”.
So, where are we now?
The Perfect Storm is my answer and I know that is ambiguous
to say the least, so let me try to explain.
It’s been a year and a half since I last visited this blog
site, so, at least for this one posting, let me keep this answer as simplistic
as I can.
Why did I pick the title of “Perfect Storm”?
Well, in its most simplistic form, that is exactly what is
taking place.
Here are the primary issues wrapped in the ever increasing
complexity of the “interconnected world”!
- A US administration that
has not only continued the process of destroying US Exceptionalism, but it
now seems driven to increase the pace of that decay.
- The collapse of the center
of gravity for the Russian and Middle Eastern economies…..oil, with the Tsar
of Russia convinced the process was deliberately launched by the US and its
partner in crime…….. Saudi Araba, with the end state of neutralizing the
Russian reasserted viewpoint towards Eastern Europe. Yes, the US
administration is far too much an armature hour to pull off such a plan,
but never forget the paranoia of the Tsar. What he perceives is, reality for the
Russian government.
- A NATO member who has left
the camp of the Christian West long ago! A nation that is ruled by an
egomaniac with an explosive temper and an even more dangerous mouth. A
leader who sees himself as the new Ottoman Empire architect. Hint…. This is the most dangerous
part of this pending Perfect Storm!
- A Europe who never really,
truly believed in the so called European Union. An E.U. that is now fully
aware of the weaponization of “Mass Migration”, under the disguise of
humanitarian compassion.
Ok, obviously, the parts of this process are far more
complex than what I’ve stated in the last four paragraphs, but the ingredients
are there?
The Storm is not just a potential on some complex computer
model.
It’s formed…………it’s real…………….and it’s growing more
dangerous by the day.
In the past 48 hrs, the Ottoman madman has once again upped
the stakes as the West scrambles to keep the Tsar from losing face yet again.
The Saudi’s have backed themselves into a corner with their
statements on intervention and saving face seems to be the primary objective of
just about everyone involved.
Again, I hope my friends continue to spread the word on what
is really taking place, but the time has come for me to go back to where this
journey started…… back to “COLDANSVIEWPOINT”!!
For those in the region that followed me, please let all
know…… “I’M BACK”!!!!!!!
