I have a BAD feeling right now.
Many people (including me) feel like right now is similar to the Summer of 1914. The beginning of August 1914 people were reading in the newspapers "oh, there is trouble in the Balkans, whatever". One month later the World was in the first World War and the casualties were beyond horrible. The British Expeditionary Force was one of the most experienced armies in Europe and took the field with about 50,000 men.
At one battle (The 1st Battle of the Marne) they lost 13,000 men in a few days !!
The leaders in a few months realized that the war was unwinnable yet didn't have the guts to work towards peace so it went on for 4 long years and basically destroyed Europe -- their power, money, influence was NEVER the same after that.
I see the same shit going on now, the US Empire and hegemony is collapsing. We've pissed away trillions on weapons and tactics that are obsolete and didn't invest in missile and drone technology like our adversaries have.
The US since WWII has maintained and assumed air superiority and that has changed. If the Marines tried to take Kharg Island in the Gulf today, they'd be screwed !! They'd be under constant drone and missile attack and it would be almost impossible to resupply, reinforce them or evac out the wounded.
It'd be another Gallipoli from WWI.
Warfare has had a paradigm shift and the moron retired generals on tv and the idiots advising Trump don't get it.
The World is running low on oil because there is a 20 million barrel a day deficit because the Persian Gulf is shut down. This will start effecting ALL of us and ALL of the World soon.
The World RUNS on petroleum and an Energy War will quickly become a shooting War !
