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”!

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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!

4. 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”!!!!!!!
