    Default The Atlantic-Arabian War

    That appears to be what the period from 2001 to the defeat of Iran is likely to be remembered as. First Afghanistan, then Iraq, then Lybia, next Syria and finally Iran: the struggle of the Euro-American democratic MDCs against the pseudo-fascist Arabian dictatorship MDCs.

    If you are male and live in America, Great Britain, or France, you should probably consider a rifle training course, because it seems probable that with America inexorably tied down in Afghanistan and drained at $100 billion/yr, the leading NATO nations will resort to a draft to hold Iran once its armor has been destroyed. Syria will probably be policed by UN peacekeepers, further straining the French and British armies, although Turkey is also likely to participate (but if Turkey has a particularly strong presence, the insurgency will be particularly fierce).

    And get a gas mask and be careful when you are in the subway, because Bashar Assad will do anything to stay in power. America is probably safe, but I don't think the French can make the same claim.... Obviously the English Channel subway is a link between Britain and France, so if you are a British citizen who frequently travels to France -- or to Belgium -- you should consider carrying a gas mask in your bag.

    But I also counsel you to look below the surface, because there is something far more sinister afoot than even these dictatorial regimes, I'm afraid.

    So is it the Syrians that will gas France?

    Most likely. I think the Iranians prefer a nuclear touch.

    Certainly this could be a possibility, do you really think though that this is the 'likely' outcome?

    What sort of time scales are you thinking?

    What do you anticipate for the magnitude of these attack/s?

    Do you really think that there could be an attack on the channel tunnel? Would this make sense in the light of the high level of security on this international service?

    They are looking for a green light from the Libyan NTC. When Libya is deemed "finished", the Syrian opposition will begin coordinating the end to the protests in Syria and the formal beginning of the rebellion there. As such, I expect the first wave of strikes to begin before Thanksgiving. The thing is, Assad is an LII: he knows how to control people. He has those weapons for a reason. He'll solicit other beleaguered regimes for help before giving in.

    What do you anticipate for the magnitude of these attack/s?
    Standard Hezbollah fare. Could be worse closer to the Middle East, though.

    I don't know. Actually I think Turkey might be a softer target.

    This war seems to be about control vs freedom... but the struggles of control vs freedom are really just a symptom of the supremacy of efficiency over ethic.

    Then they will
    • increase the size of the army.
    • put a silent hiring freeze on young males, to drive them into it.


    These are nefarious and hideously evil people, who have tightly rationalized their control of the nation's capital and opportunities. I trust you have read the news articles on the financial websites... it just gets worse and worse and worse.

    It is great you are aware of what is going on around the world. You, as always, are way ahead of everyone else. Me and my wife are "polishing" my "rifle" as we speak and moving to France to fight some gas leaking Syrians.

    I'd reply to ssmall, but it's beneath me.

    Oh my god... is Ssmall comparing himself to Einstein? Who does he think he's fooling?

    Apparently Gadhafi has escaped to Algeria. That's seems to be the implication of his reported retreat from Tripoli in an armored convoy. Khamis is apparently dead... apparently in a bid to divert attention from the convoy on behalf of his sister, who was about to give birth. We assume Muammar is also in Algeria as an honored guest of the local warlord.

    I swear it seems easier to just gas the country outright, rather than to let them kill each other slowly over many years. This farce of a war has no end in sight. Maybe they should just irradiate the land with a dirty bomb and force the inhabitants to flee outside the country. Problem solved.

    Trust me I deffo don't want to be compared to Einstein, yet people do that sometimes. But let's not derail your serious thread further.
