Things seem to be going from bad to worse. Ukraine/Russia, Taiwan/China, and now Israel/Iran.
. Israel vs. Islamic Jihad: What is source of latest conflict and whether it could mean all-out war (msn.com)
Israel’s assassination of a top military commander in the Islamic Jihad militant group in Gaza on Friday raised concerns that the conflict could escalate into an all-out war in the territory that is home to 2 million Palestinians.
Counterterrorism experts in the U.S. and Middle East said the strike is significant for a number of reasons and could have major repercussions, including on the already-fraught efforts to negotiate a new nuclear deal with Iran to get it to stop trying to make nuclear weapons.
That’s especially the case because Islamic Jihad is considered a proxy fighting force for Iran, which has long considered it a major priority to have influence in the Palestinian territories given their proximity to Israel, its number one enemy.
* All the major players against the United States: Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. With volunteer numbers going down and remaining low, any major US conflict could potentially bring the draft back. A weak US president does not really help the current situation. This is a very bad time for America.
