These are my thoughts on the world power situation based on recent serious issues brought into play over the last few days. The U.S. is clearly on the naughty step as far as Russia is concerned by their unwavering support of Ukraine, in that they are the main supplier of deadly weaponry, but now they have entered a new more serious point in time with the visit of Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan despite threats from China should the trip go ahead - and it did. To add more fuel to the fire the assassination of the Al-Qaeda leader has now set up a potential situation whereby they have been rattled enough to plan major retaliations against the U.S. mainland or at least against other American targets overseas as they have in the past.
Let's now extrapolate these 3 situations and look at the possible ramifications because we now have some dynamics that may play out in various ways and none of them look too pretty. Al-Qaeda will certainly want to hit back more than Russia and China due to the fear of world war but now they have a willing partner to carry out their dirty work without fear of directly being accused of provocation. Would China or Russia attack the U.S. by using, and arming, Al-Qaeda personnel without compunction or thought of where it might lead? Just think what could happen if Russia supports European terror campaigns using well known organizations and China was to do the same on American infrastructure with Al-Qaeda.
Currently we have 2 countries that are more than willing to disturb world order without a thought to humanity and now we have a disturbed terror group as a potential deliverer of mayhem under the direction of Russia and China. On a slightly different tack we must remember the idiot in North Korea waiting to flex his missile capabilities at the drop of the right hat and perhaps China could up his ante by supplying stuff more than capable of hitting North America. In case you haven't noticed the countries in question always blame someone else for bad stuff and how easy would it be for Beijing to claim the rockets were fired by a trigger happy Kim Jong-un? A re-invented Al-Qaeda mixed with 2 + 1 countries also involved makes me shiver for the possibilities especially when you consider the top 2 aggressive communist regimes are already playing war games to give a poke in the eye to the West and awaiting our combined responses.
Russia - Already invaded Ukraine and have a Putin led campaign to bring terror to ex-Soviet republics flexing their independence. Do they have the potential to supply and support terror groups that have already infiltrated Europe such as the ones who hit Paris a few years ago? We know these cells are still active in planning attacks but could Putin use them to further his territorial gains?
China - They have been sabre rattling for years to bring Taiwan back into the fold (much as Putin has been doing for years) and I would expect that scenario to play out in the coming months or years. The Pelosi visit has pissed them off big time as they have threatened a military response, but quite what form that will take remains to be seen. By the way the threatening video of Chinese military showing their might as part of this sabre rattling looks very much the same as the one I saw in Auckland, New Zealand a few years ago at a Chinese restaurant on the national holiday.
North Korea - Unknown quantity but their hatred of the U.S. is well known and I think they would love the chance to show their trapped population that they are a world player as they have been told all their lives.
Al-Qaeda - They must be licking their wounds after the assassination but would be willing to use any support they can muster to attack U.S. and I would suspect that the lines are buzzing between the desert and Beijing and Moscow right now coming up with the next world shattering mayhem.
Where will all this hatred and warmongering end?
