Are We On The Brink or Another Dud?
From the Imperial Regent Angelus Domini on VK:

>So we've just watched Iran's war game go live as they used it for an excuse to commandeer the Strait of Hormuz, and threatened to cut off the world's oil supply from the Middle East... Using the famous Latin legal rhetorical, we must ask "Cui bono"? (Who benefits?)

>Consider that Russia's biggest competition in the world oil market is Saudi Arabia, who is essentially a client state of the US, so by allowing Iran to cut off Saudi Arabia's ability to sell oil, while aligning themselves with China, Iran, and Iraq, Russia eliminates the competition, and creates the strongest oil union in the world, that would be far larger than OPEC ever was.

>Now keep in mind, Putin has already formed "BRICS", the international banking system created to rival the Western world's banking system, and he has been able to remove the US Dollar as the accepted reserve/trade currency in many countries, but because the West still financially dominates the world through the "Petro Dollar" (oil trade), the only way to financially break the back of the West is to become the new Petro Dollar, and to do that, Russia must take over the world's oil trade.

>After watching Iran's war game go live, and seeing that the United States has just reactivated and deployed the Second Fleet to engage Russia... Do you have any doubt that the Russia/China war game will go live as well?

From what the article tells, China and Russia are beginning their war games next month!

Although oil is a big thing for the US, and Trump might actually do something this time, Bishop Judith Monte brought this point up:

>From another perspective...

>I came across this opinion article this morning. Interestingly enough, apparently the U.S. has been exporting their own crude oil from the Houston-Galveston port. According to the article, this month it was reported that the port "began exporting more crude oil than it imported for the first time...That port district handles more than half of all U.S. crude exports, which hit a record of two million barrels a day in May."

>The article also states that most of their drilling is through shale rock which does not give that heavy crude oil that is needed. Their methods of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling have helped with costs, but "the U.S. is unlikely to be a net oil exporter soon, since American refineries require heavy crude from abroad. Shale drillers produce lighter grades."

>So, even though the U.S. may have clever methods, it still seems they will be reliant on Saudi Arabia's oil, and we see where this is going...

While both sides have a point and we will often hype these war preps to **PREPARE YOU**, we don't know if it will happen or not. Things have seemed like they would pop off multiple times over the last seven years, especially a few months back when the US struck Syria! The world was waiting for Russia to retaliate and wipe the US out, but it never happened. Russia and their allies are playing a bigger game than the US is. Look at the latest events though. Russia trying to ditch the dollar and get their allies to as well, and this with the oil along with showing off their military? It does look a bit like war will break out within the next year if a middle ground isn't found between these countries. What do you think? Please post your comments in the replies section below.

Have a very nice day!

With as many years as I've seen us on "the brink of war" I personally think it'll be a long time. Or it will happen when no one is expecting it at all. No warning prior, just there it is on the news, a city wiped out by nuclear strike. No one knows when it will happen.

We definitely see the buildup to a potential world war and it could escalate very quickly. I'm kinda in the same boat that I think it could happen without any sort of prior warning; we could all just wake up one morning and see the news that something catastrophic happened and now governments are mobilizing troops

The combined manpower of Russia, China and Iran is huge... only a nuke (or several) would take them out. WW3 will be devastating.
