Greece, Europe, China

There is a lot of danger the world is dealing with now. So much so that it reminds me a lot to the lead up to World War II. The biggest danger earlier this week was Greece. But now, the world is worried about China too because it is now economically either the 2nd largest economy on earth or possibly even the first. So, this potential economic collapse of China could bring about many things, and one of these things is revolution. They have about 25,000 to 50,000 uprisings a year where  up to 1000 people in each incident die or are beaten to death by the government or protesting one thing or another. One of the things that has kept all this in check is the financial success of china and the fact that they were able to create a middle and upper class of 300 million out of their total population of 1.4 Billion people. So, even though they have 300 million people in China with a life style comparable to the U.S. and Europe they also have 1.1 billion people barely surviving. So, the only way the government has held these 1.4 billion people all together is the economic success but that might all be in jeapordy at present because they are looking at a potential Great Depression 1929 type of Crash. However, don't underestimate the Chinese government's capacity to suppress useful information regarding all this.

So, in the end almost anything could happen.

Next we have Greece. But, unless Europe gets over itself and stops beating on Greece this could turn out really bad not only for everyone in Europe but also for the whole world indirectly. So, unless the European peoples want something as bad or worse than Syria as a part of mainland Europe they need to address this in some kind of useful way. Otherwise if each european country only watches out for it's own needs and not all the countries of the European Union then the European Union will soon be over.

All for one and one for all or no European Union at all. This is the reality today.

Europe, the U.S. and Putin have harmed the middle east over time: 1000 years

I was realizing today it really isn't fair for me to ONLY single out Putin for the mess in the middle east when Europe, the U.S. and colonialism of the past 150 years really caused a lot of the problems today for the middle east.

It depends when you want to start. Do you want to start with Christian Crusaders from Europe and England killing every man, woman and child in Jerusalem and sacking all valuable things after killing all Muslims and Christians there?

And the loot from this action began the European Banking system through the Crusaders and the Knights Templar in Europe. Then Friday the 13th was when a French king had all the Knights Templar killed the same day throughout Europe because he owed the bank too much money.

I suppose you could go back to the Crusader's genocide of Jerusalem if you wanted to likely 1000 or more years ago.

Or you could go to World War I and the allies arbitrarily drawing lines or borders throughout the middle East even though they didn't conform to religious or tribal boundaries of Religions and Tribes which has caused incredible deaths and suffering in the Middle East ever since.

Or you could go to the mistaken invasion of Iraq because of "Weapons of Mass destruction" owned by Saddam Hussein and disassembling the military and government of Iraq down to where there was nothing left and reinstalling a Shia government in place of the Sunni Bathist one that existed for a long long time before.

Then you could see those Sunni Generals, and officer core who were the core of the Iraqi Army being left out of the new Iraqi army under the Shias now ruling Iraq. Then you might see some of the Generals of the old Iraqi Bathist Army joining ISIS like they now have which is why ISIS keeps winning battle after battle because of Bathist Sunni Generals and Chechen Sunni Generals with years and years of efficient fighting experience now.

Then on top of this you have Putin deciding that he didn't like Arab Spring and that Assad was going to stay in power "come hell or high water" or what the majority of Syrians wanted who are Sunni.

This caused ISIS to really take off until now where 1000 ISIS new soldiers are joining ISIS every month and being promised a sex slave of their own and to be paid well too from the now $1 million dollars that ISIS makes every day selling women and children so they can be raped and impregnated to make more ISIS soldiers.

So, there is blame enough on Russia, Europe, the U.S. and Putin over the last 1000 years or more.

Then you can blame the natural hatreds of Shias against Sunnis for a thousand years or more and the hatreds of Sunnis against Shias of 1000 years or more too and you come up with the incredible mess or Gordian Knot that cannot be untangled possibly ever unless someone nukes the place.

And that is a really awful thing to say. But still unfortunately it is also true.

Saudi king warns of terrorism threat to U.S., Europe

DOHA (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah said terrorism would soon spread to Europe and the United States unless it is quickly dealt with in the Middle East, the Saudi state news agency reported late on Friday.
The king made the statement during a reception for foreign ambassadors held in Jeddah.
"I ask you to convey this message to your leaders... Terrorism at this time is an evil force that must be fought with wisdom and speed," said King Abdullah. "And if neglected I'm sure after a month it will arrive in Europe and a month after that in America."
The world's top oil exporter shares an 800-km (500-mile) border with Iraq, where Islamic State militants and other Sunni Islamist groups have seized towns and cities.
Riyadh has long expressed fears of being targeted by jihadists, including some of its own citizens, who have taken part in conflicts in Iraq and Syria. Earlier this year, it decreed long jail terms for those who travel abroad to fight.
Britain raised its terrorism alert on Friday and Prime Minister David Cameron said Islamic State posed the greatest ever security risk to the country.

Saudi king warns of terrorism threat to U.S., Europe

I agree with what he is saying because right now ISIS is not a just a terrorist organization it is a country. However, what can a country do that a purely terrorist organization can not do?

It can wage war and not just strike like a terrorist cell does. 

It can hire mercenaries, even suicide bombing mercenaries with the millions of dollars it has coming in every single day. 

It can buy nuclear weapons on the black market or pieces of one that can be assembled with this much money. This is a scary hybrid of a terrorist organization combined with the wealth of a country this ISIS.

It would be like Al Capone, the mafia crime lord running a country and taking revenge like a country would on all comers outside of that country including any citizens of that country he was in control of that he didn't like.

This sounds like something dreamed up by the KGB. Maybe they just thought that if they created a big enough mess in Syria that something like ISIS would arise for Europe and the U.S. to deal with so they could get away with taking over Ukraine, Crimea and any other old Iron Curtain Country the Soviet Union used to control?

Were they right?
