BGD 6,437 Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 So, to summarise thus far - For any Russian leader to show weakness is political suicide - the iron man must not be see to bend....his opposite number in Washington has beautifully painted himself into a corner, and is coming under increasing pressure from opponents and supporters alike......not content with aggravating the Russians, he is setting about trying to intimidate probably the world's most unstable leader, in North Korea...the UN and NATO, traditionally forces for stability, have proved themselves to be impotent, toothless tigers, as a seemingly endless cycle of war rages......anywhere that extremists are defeated, they pop up somewhere else, more vicious and merciless then before.....our allies last year are our enemies this year.......very little, if anything, that we read or hear in the news media can be trusted......politicians of all persuasions are mired in lies, half-truths and 'spin'......political campaigns are manipulated by outside nations, social media by bot networks and sock puppets, spreading disinformation - lies become truth, truth becomes lies. Doesn't fill me with hope for the future......George Orwell, anyone ? Interesting posts and some valid inferences drawn, I hold only add that a necessary component of Orwell's dystopia was the daily two minute hate. Now, I wonder who we could hate for two minutes a day, which enemy of freedom and the Judeo-Christian way of life... There's a lot to be said for that parallel P.S when did 'judeo' suddenly become part of our Christian way of life? I see that phrase used a lot Judeo-Christian refers to the many commonalities of the two religions, as Jesus derived his teachings from Judaism (not surprisingly, him being Jewish). "Abraham's religions" refers to Judaism, Christianity and Islam, where all three religions share commonalities. Of for God's sake you're going to start Francie off again!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,791 Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 This has been a very reliable website & I think it may get some information from Russian intelligence, either that or people who have a lot of knowledge on events. However this website has had a proven track record of getting it right far more than getting it wrong so it's always worth reading. Syria's southern border with Jordan and Israel have been stable for a long time now since the Syrian army captured towns that were used as crossing points for material and man power supplied by the US/UK, Saudi and probably Israel. If this is true the US is increasing it's forces there, they always had special forces in Jordan where they were training 'rebels' https://southfront.org/syrian-war-report-april-10-2017-us-deploys-forces-at-syrian-jordanian-border/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you ask a Jew, one that lost family in the Shoa, the idea seems faintly ludicrous: http://www.stateofformation.org/2014/04/the-myth-of-a-judeo-christian-tradition/ If you ask a American wingnut on the doorstep of his mega-church, it's as if the long and rich history of Christian antisemitism never existed... http://www.mediaite.com/online/cruz-ready-to-defend-judeo-christian-principles-on-gop-platform-from-trumpian-compromise/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not a biblical type person but the prophecies of damascus Isaiah 17 are a bit to coincidental Did you ever watch Threads? The chronology of the events leading up to the war is depicted entirely via television and radio news broadcasts, as well as a few newspaper reports. An allegedly US-backed coup d'état in Iran prompts the Soviet Union to occupy the northern part of the country, ostensibly to prevent the return of a pro-Shah regime. On 8 May, the USA hints at deploying troops to Iran, to prevent the Soviets from reaching the oil fields in the south. On 11 May, the US Navy in the Indian Ocean is put on high alert when rumours begin to circulate of the disappearance of the USS Los Angeles in the Persian Gulf. The next day, a collision in the Gulf of Oman between the Soviet battlecruiser Kirov and the USS Callaghan leaves the former badly damaged. Subsequent discoveries by American and Israeli search and rescue vessels reveal debris and an oil slick from the missing Los Angeles, prompting the US President to warn the Soviets over the possibility of an "armed confrontation—with incalculable consequences for all mankind." On 17 May, the US sends its rapid deployment force to take defensive positions around Isfahan in western Iran, hoping to deter the Soviets from making further advances to the south, with a supporting role being taken by squadrons of B-52 bombers and AWACS early warning aircraft landing at US airbases in Turkey. The Soviets respond by transporting nuclear warheads into their newly established base in Mashhad. On 20 May, the USA proposes a joint withdrawal from Iran to take effect by noon on the 22nd, while Britain sends troops to Europe amidst a build-up of Warsaw Pact troops in East Germany. The Soviets ignore the US ultimatum and, an hour after the expiry, are attacked at their base in Mashhad by B-52 bombers using conventional weapons. The Soviets defend the base with a nuclear tipped surface-to-air missile, destroying many B-52s. The battle ceases after US forces launch a battlefield nuclear weapon at the Soviet base. The next day, fighting breaks out between the US and Soviet navies. On 24 May, amidst rioting in East Germany, the Soviets cut the road links into and out of West Berlin, whilst offering occupying NATO forces free passage to the west. The USS Kitty Hawk is sunk in the Persian Gulf, and the US blockades Cuba. Anti-Soviet riots in major US cities damage several Russian consulates. The next day, the BBC reports on the Mashhad nuclear exchange, stating that the weapons used were within the range of 50–100 kilotons, and that cities in western Pakistan are being evacuated due to the fallout.
