Slouching towards World War III?

What could possibly go wrong. Perhaps they are just doing a seven day tour of the holy land.

W.B Yeats

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in the sands of the desert.

A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Yes, because Buddhists and atheists are keen on that.

Russia and China are not sending warships to Syria for a Boat Show.
I’m pretty sure of that. They smell blood in the water from Obama and
this administration.
Buckle up or learn to love the bomb. WW3 is just one cruise missile away.

And Peru?

Did they send their ship?

Guess Barry won’t have a choice but, to launch. Otherwise he will look like an even bigger idiot.

[Navy Patriot]

Interesting.

China has a torpedo that is nearly impossible to defend against.

"The last standing superpower on the planet comes to a showdown on the ocean and walks away… it’s not a pretty picture."

Nothing wrong with walking away. Plenty wrong with taking casualties just to assuage the bruised ego of an incompetent Afro-Marxist community organizer, who thinks himself a military strategist. Nobody needs to die, Boy Wonder. Accept it as a teachable moment, and walk away.

[TomGuy]

Comes to mind a circle of dogs snarling at one bone, which in this case is Syria.

The Middle East is a powder keg. It might not take much to create an explosion that sends repercussions throughout the world.

There are probably more Intel satellites over the Med right now since the 1973 Yom Kippur War.

Hell, they probably need a "space traffic cop" over Tartus.



Moreover, Putin's guys have our U.S. Navy ships "redundantly" bore sighted with Syria's arsenal of Yakmount anti-ship missiles.

As you said, the first cruise missile launch will be met with a lethal Yakmount missile flurry designed to damage or sink "all four" U.S. Navy Destroyers.

When that first U.S. launched cruise missile hits the target (violating Syrian's sovereign territory) ...



Iran then launches everything it's got against Israel, probably focusing on 2-3 targets like Tel Aviv and Israel's nuclear power reactors.

Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system, as well as the U.S. Patriot 3 Missile batteries (manned by U.S. troops) will fail under sheer weight of numbers.

Iran will use whatever missiles whose range is short of Tel Aviv and blast away at Israel's Golan Heights defense line.

Southern Israel will be savagely attacked by Obama's bloodthirsty Moslem Brotherhood savages.




And that night … from the White House Situation Room … with all the lights dimmed in battlefield red …

U.S. President Obama will enjoy his shared sexual pleasures with “manservant” Reggie Love.

Perhaps, but it won't be because of an LPD, unless we sink it by accident.

Also recall that a Chinese sub came up undetected in the middle of a US fleet not so long ago.

China may be itching to try out their new ‘bath tub’ toys.

[stevie_d_64]

What is it with these other navy’s???

First the Russians send in an intell trawler with three “landing ships”...

Not much of a surface action group...

Now the Chicoms are sending a “landing ship” as well...

I wonder if we are getting sucked into a “rope a dope” here...

[jsanders2001]

They want to test ut their new toys...

And this time it may come to our shores. We’ve been very lucky so far that the enemy hasn’t tried to attack us on our soil but with a president showing such weak leadership and the sissification of our military it may not be far off at all.

[tet68]

Talk about a room full of mouse traps!

What happens if the Russians mistakenly target
a Chinese ship or the opposite? What about Anti-ship
missiles from Lebanon, or Syria. What a mess.

[Errant]

fyi

[catbertz]

Wow. Sooo vivid. I could almost smell the gunpowder and ass lube. You’ve managed to capture Zero’s “best night ever” in words.

They saw us flying air support for the Libyan savages with AC-130s and A-10s.
That was the Obama adventure where arms and ordnance for the brave “Arab Spring freedom fighters” fell into the hands of al-Qaeda.

Everything about this latest Hussein venture is ‘snake-bit.’ If he isn’t resigning tomorrow, Americans of both parties should be asking why not.

[SaxxonWoods]

ONE Chinese warship?

Pfffft.

Let me know when they get to 7-8. And they can’t rule the skies in the area, which means they are toast.
