Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketsup.

I think that the last thing they want is peace with Israel. The world feeds these people. They can't afford to lose the downtrodden image. Are they into manufacturing? Large scale farming? Oil?

The last time I checked, this was still the S&EP board, not GC/P. What does this escalation have to do with S&EP? In what ways can we be better prepared if this is the beginning of the stuff hitting the fan? Seriously, is this something I need to take some action on now? And what action?

No, it's not shtf. It's just chapter sixty four of the never ending Middle East saga between the various players there. NONE of whom are our friends and I'm not excluding anyone.

We've been through this more times than I can remember.

One day something really will break loose there and change the game. But I believe it's quite likely to come at a time of relative "calm" not in the midst of a crisis (it will actually cause the crisis) and when it does it's going to happen in the middle of our night because it'll be on the other side of the planet from us.

Until then it's just more of the same. Get prepped, stay prepped, then get on with your life.

I'm a firm believer in a 2 state solution to the Israeli/Arab World conflict. Let the terrorists have their state. Unlimited whatever they want. But, the very first missile (or rock) that flies over the border, unconditional war commences and every soul for ten square miles dies. If the former Jordanians want to raise the white flag at that point, again, fine. Break the surrender again, and keep obliterating more territory... At some point, there'd be no former Jordanians left.

Only a total war will solve this problem... the current status quo of 'peace' is the victor giving up land for paper promises, which are promptly broken.....

This "world war" started several thousands of years ago - and it won't end with an unconditional surrender - it will end when one side is completely obilterated from the face of the earth. The Six Day War ended way too soon.

Things have accelerated so fast that I can't keep track of them.

Obama and the socialists have just ignored every other rule and law so they'll probably just ignore this one too...

BTW, Israel has a Sampson Defense strategy for their nukes but I don't believe they'll ever really need it. There's something about a really important book that says a lot about it...

Also I would stay out of Damascus too...

Just what I've heard...
