The China/Japan/Vietnam/Phillipines/Taiwan/Koreas South China Sea struggles?

The Iran/Isreal nuclear problem?

The attacks by radicals in the middle east on anything foreign, particularly American targets?

The Syrian conflict and apprehension of Turkey?



Thoughts and why? Do any of them escalate another?
 
I have a bet going with myself on when somebody will say a certain something. I'm guessing it will happen before post #17
 
The polarization of the Middle East, going further and further into a selfish-perspective of what they deem a theocracy is. The Saudis simply have too much money, and will continue to hold crippling, monopolizing power over the middle east and countries like Pakistan (most prospective leaders of Pakistan are all Saudi-backed) until we lose our reliance on petroleum products. To me, I think the Saudis don't actually wanna start any sort of war with Israel, or the western world. Rather, they are most comfortable in this sort of situation, where they rally up support in guise of defending Islam against "blasphemous" nations who do things like make videos disgracing our prophet. I predict that if any full-scale war develops in the Middle East, it will be Israel that pulls the trigger first.
 
Wrong
Israel doesn't pull the trigger first.
although USA and Israel are allies.
dont mistake Israel with the usa, Israel isn't in the business of starting fights/war.

Because we're supposed to take a guy that rabidly has a dog in the fight seriously. And also makes the highest rate of worst points in the history of the board.
