welshbairn Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) Don't want to brag (I do) but I predicted all this back in the days of the "Arab Spring". The Syria thread seems to have suffered the great cull, but it was obvious from the first riots that the Syrian Government wouldn't just go away, the Jihadis would take over the nice friendly middle class, facebook resistance, the Kurds would get drawn in, and that would bring in the Saudis and the Gulf States, the Turks, Hezbollah and Iran, America and eventually the Russians and the Israelis. WW3 effectively. Doubt Inverness will be bombed though. Edited May 10, 2018 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember an old thread predicting what the next year's major news stories would be, not sure of the year but it was before anyone had heard of ISIS. I thought back then Syria would turn into another Iraq style invasion but they opted for funnelling weapons and money to jihadi proxies instead. It's the '7 countries in 5 years' PNAC plan playing out, although they didn't count on Putin saying "that's plenty" in Syria. Iran and Lebanon have still to be ticked off the list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember a time when Lebanon and especially Beirut was seen as a very dangerous place and journalists would report on the situation there from the relative safety of Syria. Now it is the other way around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 We have reached a situation where a U.S. President can make a decision and effectively tell other countries, and companies within those countries, that they must also comply. Sadly I don’t expect the EU to stand up to him but if they don’t then they will need to accept the long term political consequences of capitulation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US ,with this announcement has threatened to sanction or even jail British and other European Countries who still trade with Iran, but!..he has now been talking about a new deal which to me implies , he's merely for filling a Campaign promise by scraping this "terrible deal" I have a feeling he will be forced to sign up to effectively the same deal but try and sell it as a tough new great deal for America.. I wonder why no MSM outlet talks about Israel's hundreds of undeclared, Nukes when they reel in horror about Iran getting them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall, 57% say things are going well in the US today -- up from 49% saying the same in February -- which is the largest proportion to say so since January of 2007. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one, a 112-unit subdivision in a suburb west of Atlanta, 94 eviction actions were filed last year, records show. Among the tenants Hannity’s property managers sought to evict, records show, were a former corrections officer and her wife, who fell behind while awaiting a disability determination; a double amputee who had lived in an apartment with her daughter for five years but did not pay on time after being hospitalized; and a single mother of three whose $980 rent check was rejected because she could not come up with a $1,050 cleaning fee for a bedbug infestation Quote “When they are serially filing against the same tenants, they are using the courts as collection agencies,” said Susan Reif, head of the Eviction Prevention Project at the publicly funded Georgia Legal Services Program. “It appears they are just trying to increase their profit margin by demanding fees under the threat of being evicted from your home.” In response to questions from The Post, Hannity’s attorney said in an email that the evictions were appropriate under the circumstances and that Hannity was not involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, however, in practice, a lot of people don't object to all nuclear weapons - only those that might be pointed at them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
