What Is More Likely To Escalate?

I have a bet going with myself on when somebody will say a certain something. I'm guessing it will happen before post #17

Lost a bet to myself. Now I know how byu feels. Kicking your own *** is a tough pill to swallow.

For the record, I was sure someone would make a lame wiener joke. Ya know, escalating.

Boners n' stuff.
 
It appears that the middle east is the general consensus.

So if israel and Iran get after it how long before the other pro lens in the middle east become a part of that conflict. Specifically Syria and the middle east radical attacks? Does NATO get involved if turkey does. Does Russia and its allies get involved if Syria is attacked?
 
Not sure I agree with 'slowly' .. Otherwise yes.

Well slowly may have been a strong word. In today's warfare days= weeks and weeks = months. I was thinking weeks. Perhaps 2-3.
 
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?


Our dwindling economy?

China will not be an open aggressors until the fact is accomplished. Which it perhaps may be already.

Wars are hatched in England. We are the English army/world cop. The relevant facts are simply that the Mideast is going to be a perpetual war. Russia and China will sit it out, and just watch us crucify ourselves on our oil cross.

Russia has more to fear from China than we do. The Chinese know there's oil in Siberia.

Is there really that much tension between China and Russia? I have always seen them as willing to join forces in any war instead of being foes.

As for wars are hatched in England. I don't buy that. Not any more. Wars are hatched here in the States. England has switched roles with the USA. We lead now and they follow.
