Indeed. There is a high risk of an all out war in the eastern Mediterranean, with Russia, Turkey, Syrian groups, Saudi Arabia and Israel all getting into it.
Yes, I agree.
We may be at Ezekial 38 (or another chapter if I’ve gotten the wrong one here).
Putin is an absolute threat to world peace, and China is on the same page IMO.
As far as ISIS goes, my bet is that Putin has a back channel and is telling them they have nothing to fear from him.
I think his big goal was to destroy the anti-Assad forces in Syria. ISIS isn’t his concern. He probably likes that it hates the West. Why would he want to take them out?
Interesting times folks...
