What In The World Is Going On?

CPT Chris Loomis — Mon, 11 Dec 2017 14:19:36 -0500

How would you describe and explain the following current (DEC 2017) topics?

1. Russia’s Sphere Of Influence
2. Iran’s Aggression
3. China’s “Dream”
4. North Korea’s Belligerence
5. The World Wide Issue Of Terrorism

All five topics are fairly open ended, and that was done on purpose to provoke thought and dialogue.

Say what you factually understand, and freely state your opinions.

This could narrow it down. The Iranians were rewarded with money and a weak nuclear deal at goes away in 7 years. They are also friends of North Korea. They are also joining forces with turkey and Russia in the Middle East. Iran does not allow the International atomic energy agency into their military facilities. They are probably pissed off at Israel fort getting support from the US for making Jerusalem their Eternal capital. What if North Korea gave the Iranians a couple of nuclear warheads just for fun? What if Iran still has a Deathwish of destroying the state of Israel?

The Islamic terrorism has been going on for 1400yrs. It appears, Russia and America have come to an agreement.
The Israel's capital issue has been brought to the surface to bring a cure. NK is the wild card.
This above quick post is just my 2cts on very complex issues.

Two of those have the same response; I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America and obey the orders of those appointed over me.

As to the other three, they've been building for decades based upon proven results. Largely, aggressors understand the world hasn't had a stomach for warfare since 1945 and the US hasn't had its heart in the game since 1975. Russia crept its way up from obscurity in a cloak of inconsequentialism. They're a very real threat, even if they've successfully played possum since the mid 1990s.

The picture contains the South Korean flag. Our allies might find that insulting.
