Comments;
No one is going in to N Korea. Their deterrant isn't nuclear, it's a million rounds of HE aimed at Seoul.
Forget about the Korean Peninsula. They will be waited out, like Cuba.
The real target is Iran. NK is just a drill, getting US forces used to feinting with a nuclear armed adversary.

Isreal wants Iran collapsed (at least, their current psychopathic leadership does). Neolibcon forces, unite for the cause of stupidity! Onward into oblivion!

The most recent Dr. Steve Picezenyk on Alex Jones May 1. He was and is pretty well connected. He said the USSA will have a tough time even doing Syria. He is super negative on US military capabilities ie lost every war including WW2. He said WW2 was won by the Soviets at Stalingrad.

I believe he said Iran would be even more impossible than Syria. Any war with NK will destroy Seoul and S Korea. It is not happening.

They could try some crap in the Gulf against Iran. How many wars has the USAA started with false flags? Russia will not let Iran be talen down. I doubt china will allow it either.

Hillary's private speech transcripts explicitly state the US is 100% against any reunification. South Korea's military also takes orders from the US before they take orders from their own leaders. This is why every time there are talks of reunification, tensions seem to flare up out of nowhere killing all talks of reunification. It happens like clockwork. With their new president wanting to mend relations, you can guarantee tensions will rise drastically in the coming days and weeks.

If the new president is genuine and really wants peace and stability with NK, then the only option left for the US is to start a war with NK before any of that can occur. The US will never let peace exist in that region because if there was peace or reunification, the US and their military bases would have to go home. NK not only shares a border with China,

Trumps' mis steps

Pox Americana has sided with israel and saudi arabia. Both of them nut-case religious fundamentalists. Here is a general picture of the situation.

China has developed an “ultrafast” missile interceptor, a defensive weapons system it claims only the US and Russia had before.

The world is shifting away from kinetic warfare, especially naval warfare. The shift has been to aircraft. At the same time, advances in missile technology and jamming technology are making aircraft only marginally useful,,, depending on the theater.
Along come cyber weapons that make physical warfare much less important. Cyber war is a great equalizer. It doesn't matter how big your army and GDP are. It matters how good your hackers are.
All that military hardware is useless if you lose control of it.

Heating up the Gulf States

Armstrong warned that the war cycle is heating up. This has become a flash point with religious morons in the gulf States.
"Qatar is one of the two Salafi states in the Muslim world, the other being Saudi Arabia." "There has been a very longstanding war of words between Saudi Arabia and its neighbor Qatar. "
"Tensions between Qatar and its neighbors exploded last month after Qatar’s state-run news agency published an article in which the Qatar’s ruling emir, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, was quoted praising Israel and Iran. These two are Saudi Arabia’s biggest adversaries in the region. Qatar swiftly disavowed the article as fake news manufactured by hackers. " OOPS

The big problem is; other states are choosing sides and banding together. It's amazing just how fast this has all blown up.

The road that brings the food to Qatar runs through Saudi and the Sauds aren't letting anything through. Iran will ship them food by ocean freight.
This has pulled in Iran, Russia and Turkey. Turkey is a NATO State with NATO nukes. Germany has to pull out of Turkey. Russia may be forced to choose between Iran and Turkey.
Yemen is a proxy war between Iran and Saudi Arabia. Syria is a proxy war between Pox Americana and Russia. This new mess with Saudi, Iran and everybody else has a potential to spin out of control.
Too many religious nutcases in the area.

Drums of war get louder

Saudi Arabia is now blocking the maritime routes to Qatar. They can't export oil or gas,,, can't import food. Saudi has given them 24 hrs to comply.

The neo-cons would very much like a war on Iran. They are trying to draw Russia and China into a conflict. Qatar seems to be a magnet for problems. Iran, et al are holding exercise in the Strait of Hormuz. That should make all the bankers and oil importers / exporters shudder.
We are approaching a "position" where Pox Americana will have to decide to provoke Russia OR, back down and leave Syria. The Pox is launching missiles rather sending in a lot of aircraft. Much depends on how stupid the neo-cons are. Will they try to confront Russia's new jamming system? Are the neo-cons hoping for a cause-celebre to start the next war?
ISIS is a creation of Tel Aviv and it's satrap, the district of corruption.
What lengths will the swamp go to in protecting the mother country?

Putin-Trump dialogue,,,, disaster for war mongers

Trump is going to have to make the best of it. Even his feces-for-hearts generals know that pox Americana can NEVER take on both China and Russia. Trump knows that the economic situation is only months from blowing up. Unfortunately, he is briefed by israel-firsters and will never get a clear picture. Israel is raging because Qatar is going to get the gas contracts. Just the same, he is probably a good judge of people.
EVERYBODY is hoping that he and Putin will hate each other.

Hezbollah and the IRGC will get the last laugh

Israel claims that there is no functioning government in Syria so, the can just walk in and take the Golan Heights,,, and the oil. Armstrong predicted a huge change in the "confidence" model to take place on 2015.75. On that very day, Russia entered the war in Syria. The Russians paralysed the Donald Cook on April 2014 with a super jamming system. The denials ring hollow.
Later, the Russians demonstrated long-range cruise missiles that essentially do an end-run around ABM defences.
Israel is adamant (frothing at the mouth) to destroy Syria, grab the oil and run pipelines to Europe. BUT, the Russians are enforcing peace zones. The warmongers had it all planned to do a major incursion into Syria. The Russians activated their S-400 missiles batteries.
"The operation was cancelled after reports emerged that Russia’s S-400 missile defense systems and a missile attack warning system had been activated in Syria," al-Suleiman said in an interview with Sputnik Arabic."
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/2...li-plan-syria/

Reportedly, their jamming systems can shut down EVERYTHING. Apparently, the West needed more convincing. It appears that the USS Fitzgerald was the next target. It is impossible for the chain of command to break down so completely while a Navy ship was crossing a very busy shipping lane.

The S-400 batteries may ensure that Iran does indeed build bases in Syria. Netanyahoooo MAY be stupid enough to try a ground war in Syria. The last ground war against Hezbollah in Lebanon was a complete disaster.
Israel has started blocking access to the Al Aqsa mosque and a lot of people are going crazy. Hezbollah may very well try to get them into a real frenzy. It could be the start of the Third Intifada. Arab MK says third Intifada has already begun - Arab-Israeli Conflict - Jerusalem Post
Israel could possibly nuke Lebanon but, that wouldn't stop Hezbollah.
ISIS is a well-armed mercenary force formed by Pox Americana and Israel. There is always the possibility that ISIS could turn on israel when Pox Americana financially collapses and the money stops. I hardly think that Trump will prioritise payments to mercs when the debt-ceiling lockup starts. Wait and see.

"President Xi Jinping - wearing his military fatigues - inspected his troops personally just hours after the latest North Korea crisis.

The Americans were warned by Beijing after stepping up the deployment of its THAAD missile defence system in South Korea.

The move was in response to Kim Jong-un's latest ballistic missile test on Friday night.
But a stern China warned Washington: "The Chinese side is deeply concerned about the situation."
"Generals Struggle For New Approach " Their "approach" will not include war.

The end of War on the cheap

Pox Americana has beat up quite a few countries for their oil or their gold or their proximity to Judea or their minerals or their pipeline routes. We have never actually won a war for a long time. This is not entirely true. The whole point of the war in Viet Nam was to burn up lots of military supplies. A certain sector "won out" in that war.
The war in Afghanistan is successful because opium production is at a record high. Since we took on weaker States, we never actually "lost".
We figured how to do "war on the cheap". This is no longer possible because our potential adversaries have figured out our weak spots. They have figured out strategies that negate our strengths.

"The era of “wars on the cheap” is over and the world is becoming a very different place than it used to be. The USA will have to adapt to this reality, at least if it wants to retain some level of credibility, but right now it does not appear that anybody in Washington DC – except Ron Paul – is willing to admit this. As a result, the era of major US military interventions might well be coming to an end, even if there will always be some Grenada or Panama size country to triumphantly beat up, if needed. This new reality, of course, immediately raises the issue of what/how the US Dollar will be backed by in the future (until now, it was only really “backed” by US military power), but that is a very different topic."

"We all by now know exactly what the Empire likes to do: find some weak country, subvert it, accuse it of human right violations, slap economic sanctions, trigger riots and militarily intervene in “defense” of “democracy”, “freedom” and “self-determination”
"This is absolutely huge and what the “Divine Victory” of the Party of God first achieved in 2006 is now repeated in Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq and elsewhere. The fear of the “sole superpower” is finally gone, replaced by a burning desire to settle an infinite list of scores with the AngloZionists and their occupation forces."

"The US dilemma is simple: the Cold War is long over, and so is the Post Cold War, and a complete reform of the US armed forces is clear long overdue and yet also politically impossible. "
