And those are the studious ones, with the B+ averages... Been enjoying the chat here, but think its a bit misfocused. France after all being somewhat marginalized of late, is struggling to maintain the viability of the French language, not exactly a key player in WWIII scenarios. How about other conflicts ? The Russian dilemma of a lost and fracturing empire, a crashing economy and its paranoic desire to restore old buffer zones. Middle-Eastern Muslim radical militancy in or near the supply glutted oil producing states seeking a world safe for Islam. The ever-growing Chinese influence on the world and their recent acquisition of new sophisticated targeting, guidance and delivery systems for ICBMs. The instability of the new NATO in the presence of continued Balkans struggling and the specter of a resurgent Russian military. The waning influence of the single remaining world superpower, champion of a cause without a purpose and led by a political laughingstock. Regionalization of economies - the EURO, ASEAN, the MiddleEast, NAFTA. The failure of the second largest economy of the world, Japan, to pull itself out of its self-induced crash/burn decade long recession undermining the rest of ASEAN economies. Decades, centuries, millennial old conflicts over religion and territory in the MiddleEast, with Israel at ground zero. The recklessness of North Korea and the remilitarization of Japan. There's some meat to chew on here. Does anybody else follow the Stratfor analysis ? Tonight they talked about the Greek/Turkish struggling over Cyprus and the involvement of Israel, Jordan, Russia and peripherally Syria and Egypt. Last weekend it was about the inevitability of a resurgent Russian empire and its future impact on Nato along with the destabilizing influence of unified Germany.
