"Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dogs of war" William Shakespeare - Julius Caesar:

The world is descending into a patchwork of wars fought on many fronts, but with two 

common denominators. Firstly there is the Islamist Sunni / Shia conflict for Jihad & domination, which amounts to civil war in several countries. Then there is the battle for power over resources, which brings untold wealth to those who control them. The world is in the midst of complete disorder.

Currently there are wars being fought in Ukraine (supported by Moscow), Syria (again supported

by Moscow), Afghanistan (Moscow seems to have learnt their lesson there), Iraq & Israel.

China is skirmishing with Japan, Vietnam & the Phillipines. Japan & South Korea are bickering.

North Korea is a basket case. India & Pakistan play politics with nuclear deterrants.

Meanwhile Britain, the Eurozone & America employ the politics of "Soft Power". That is a complete euphemism. Doing nothing or not doing enough is no longer an option. The West is behaving like a powerless lap dog. Putin has power. Assad has power. Isis has power. Israel has power.

This has all being going on for years, during what we have been pleased to call 70 years of "Peace".

All out war is not an option either. The danger of a nuclear conflict caused by panic striken fingers

on buttons is too great. We simply must find a solution - there is no other option.

Unless this is the End Game.
