I was just pointing out that every 5 or 10 years there seems to be a different grave threat to the U.S. Edited April 30, 2017 by Ryan Strome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't had them in years. Since WWII there's been a constant threat of global war, do not see it happening yet, but if one bomb goes off and it's on.

Nuxfanabroad Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Is it SHTF time? Saudi's(& some followers) try to strong-arm Qatar. Ultimatum of 10 conditions laid out. Alleged connections with Iran, suspected impetus. Or resource dispute? All this just two wks after Trumpy visits to sign controversial arms deal. Things heating up again in Syria. Heard tonite, Russia(Lavrov) openly questioning US actions & motives. Recent wks have seen terror attacks in global regions far-flung, around the globe: London, Phillipines, Afghanistan, Egypt, etc... Tonite also hear Iran has been attacked by(you guessed it)..ISIS. Suicide bomber at Tehran Parliament. These are 'interesting' times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianRugby Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I saw a documentary called The Collapse, where it was basically an interview with an ex-CIA agent. His whole thing is that peak oil has already happened and the next big war will happen over oil. I'd say the next big trigger for conflict could be refugees/migrants. As global warming makes places in the middle east, Africa and Central/South America less inhabitable, it will put tremendous stresses on Europe and USA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems oil from fracking has broadened that peak, but one wonders how much sharper the decline in oil production will be when the easy fracking plays have been used up. I agree that the refugee/migrant from less-hospital places will stress Europe and USA and conflicts will arise from this. The optimist in me thinks that we won't see a truly global conflict arise from these issues (at least in a 5-10 year time scale) as the main powers won't be pitted directly against each other.

Canada Hockey Place Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Only a handful of people in this world want war. They are all self-serving sociopaths. War. What is good for?

RWMc1 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 War has been used as a means to generate money for a long time. A global war might kill too many consumers. That would be bad for business. I heard a rumour that Yemen has hidden caches of wippons of mass distrukshin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't there also like 10-30k US troops (not including other international military units) stations in Qatar (or was it Bahrain?) The last thing the US wants would be being drawn in into a war with Iran (risk/benefit is minimal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 People should read up on the history of middle east if they think that what's going on now is a big deal. Diplomatic riffs and even wars are quite common between members of the Arab League. The only imminent crisis I'd be worried about as a Canadian is the fallout from our current housing crisis.
