IS WAR IMMINENT? OUR EXTERNAL DANGERS

While the nation has been pre-occupied with many other things, we the people have become uninformed about some serious dangers lurking outside of our country. Our President, who has made it clear that he is not capable of dealing with threats, is now faced with BIG threats from North Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Venezuela. Any one of these powder kegs could ignite World War III in a heartbeat.

The two actions that North Korea recently launched against South Korea are the worst provocations in 57 years of the armistice. A war there could kill hundreds of thousands of people overnight due to the proximity to China, South Korea and Japan. Violence and war would potentially cause a million people to flee to China for safety and would upset foreign relations there. Now the world’s largest economy, things in China could grind to a halt in a hurry.

Iran has, of course, been trading arms with North Korea and other unfriendly nations. North Korea has supplied Iran with some long-range missiles capable of delivering a nuclear warhead throughout Europe and to Israel. They want to become the new superpower of the Middle East, which concerns Saudi Arabia, who has been asking the U.S. to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities, according to Wikileak documents.

Saudi Arabia is upset with the U.S. nonchalant attitude toward the Middle East situation. They are also undergoing a fragile leadership change. Any weapon of mass destruction delivered into their oil fields would paralyze the world economy.

The story in Mexico of which we have been made aware only scratches the surface. We all know about the drug wars and how those battles are crossing our borders. Should one of the cartel leaders seize total control of the country, we could have a formidable enemy and we must understand that Cuba and Venezuela and other nations have been fomenting violence there in order to possibly overthrow the government and turn the country into a neighboring enemy. They already have agents and large organizations within the U.S.

While Iran wants to be the superpower of the Middle East, Hugo Chavez and Venezuela have been concentrating on achieving the same status in South America. Chavez is working diligently toward achieving nuclear power or acquiring a nuke or two. He’s openly catering to Iran, Hezbollah and other groups. Chavez insists that his rapid arms buildup is simply a modernization of outdated military equipment, but intelligence sources think otherwise.

Every day that goes by without U.S. steps to curtail or rein in these activities is another day closer to World War III.

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
