Israel has always followed a course of pre-emptive action to protect itself. What will they do about this new threat??
I hear from a source close to the Syria conflict that Israel is likely to take action against Syria in the v.near future. It seems the Western governments are talking about no fly zones etc but are reluctant to upset Russia & China, whereas a third party player like Israel could prove strategically useful!! Not to the likes of you & me of course, but to the elite and corporate power players. "Runaway train" a likely outcome...TL.
There has always been much Sabre rattling in the ME.
Tensions in the region are certainly increasing, and international thirst for oil from the region only serves to heighten those tensions, as various super powers manoevre for strategic advantages.
I am watching this closely, as it could unravel very quickly.
