The key chess piece remains Iran. The US will be making a play to strip Iran away from Russia, China and the SCO. Washington just dismissed Dennis Ross from his post at the State Department, which is a start. Expect other overtures towards the ruling elite in Tehran.

None too soon Ursa Minor | Ursa Major & Crouching Tiger | Hidden Dragon. It appears the GRAND CHESSBOARD strategy was begun during the administration that began the bombing, too - in Russia.

There are no reasons to regard Obama as a dove and a proponent of massive disarmament, though conflicts between him and the military-industrial complex are possible. The disagreements are purely tactical: there is a growing understanding in the ranks of the US establishment that the US is gradually losing its grip on global processes. What can it do to reverse the trend? There may be tactical disagreements, but there is unanimity among the US political class that this can be done only on the basis of building up the US military might and raising the potential of the US army to a new and higher level." By Alexander Frolov And also: "... In a feature from a newspaper in the state of Michigan on May 28th, a review of a documentary film included this commentary on a US military unit deployed to Russia's Arctic region in the ending days of World War I: "[The] Polar Bear Expedition saw some 5,500 soldiers sent to Archangel, Russia, near the Arctic Circle, in September 1918, just two months before the armistice would end the war. The expedition took shape after the 1917 Russian Revolution, when Russia signed a separate peace with Germany and pulled out of the war." "At the urging of Winston Churchill - then in the British war office - President Woodrow Wilson...agreed to furnish troops to support the anti-Communist White Russian army. The Americans and some Canadians, who thought they were headed to France, were placed under British command." US Senator Carl Levin was present for the screening of the documentary and told the audience, "There are lessons to be learned in history; there are lessons here....The lesson is we must be clear in our mission."

This is not the lesson that Levin and the political and military leadership of NATO countries as a whole have learned and so risk repeating them on a far grander and more dangerous scale." | NATO's War Plans For The High North Scandinavia and the Baltic Sea.

Those who amassed fortunes over the centuries in wars without end do not know what else to do since they put all their eggs in one basket. These same war robotic 'humans' appear to have also poisoned their entire body-mind-spirit with far too many poisons ("medical drugs" as well as every form of 'recreational') and this lack of intelligence is brought to us from the same corporations who also need the natural resources in order to be the god government of earth. In a word: megalomania. Defined: a psychopathological disorder resulting from delusions of magnificence, grandeur, or omnipotent power -- usually, but not limited in the interests of money or other wealth, e.g., Adolf Hitler, et al. Evil Empires do not go gentle into that dark night and unfortunately, the rage, rage is always against the light alright since transnational is a name without a face and now war is a game without end to do what the machine monster does best: destroy. But, the end is coming to the Empire without a conscience or any belief in anything greater than itself -- in the century where the bears, tigers, dragons, et al. DECIDE the "other deciders" are not nearly as 'enlightened' about the historical truth of time immortal. Back to nature, not NATO. Thanks bears, tigers, dragons and other natural spirits for devouring the unnatural act of critical mass evil on earth.
