if there is a nuclear war, the next one will be with stones!So what do you say Mr Truth sleeker, will there be one? Lipsaw suggested you head for your bunker; are you still above ground? The mess in the Middle East started with a mentally retarded in the White House, George W Bush, who wanted to overthrow Saddam and bring democracy in Iraq. Hope he likes what he sees today. The Syrian conflict was started by the US, in collaboration with Saudi Arabia and Turkey because Assad, the president of Syria, did not allow Catar, a gas and oil producing state to pass their pipe line through Allepo, North of Syria, to Turkey and to Europe so Europe will no longer depend on Russian Gas.Also, Saudi Arabia, wanted a counter -weight to the growing Power to Iran, and Syria was friendily disposed to Iran and so Assad had to go. The Civil War in Syria was cooked in the Pentagon and the State Department and was aimed to overthrow Assad and install a "Democratic Islamic State" in Syria. And so the US, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, armed ISIS and Al Nusra, another terrorist organization supported by the US and who are determined to overthrow Assad and get the pipeline going through Syria. Something you do not read on the North American press. The question now is, why are US planes flying over Syria thus violating the Syrian air space? A sovereign country? Russia was called in by Assad and rightly so since both Turrkey and the US were interfering in the internal affairs of a sovereign country. For the first time since the Civil War the terrorist got a overdose of their medicine by the Russian Air planes and now, it's a matter of time before they are wiped off the map. If the US could not do it, Russia's initiative to get rid of the scourge, is a great relief to mankind The age of the gunboat diplamacy is soon coming to the end for the US and will likely have to fold the tent.
