Obama, the Sinking of the Cheonan, and the Failure of Nuclear Deterrence
China no doubt took a giant step forward with their plans on Taiwan. Look for something that gives them cover to make their move. Probably not something initiated by the N. Koreans as that is just too close to their objective. Something will happen some where in the world that will make a move on Taiwan seem small in comparison.
The world’s peace (I use that term loosely) hangs by a thread. With the world’s economy circling the drain what better way to bolster sagging economies than to have a war? And no better time to do it than with a feckless POTUS – one who will be leaving office (willingly or not) in 2012. Look for provocative events to increase in the coming couple of years.
The main difference between 1939 and now is the nations that may well square off and do battle. Tensions and economic reality are very similar.
