- Syria and World War III, Congress Battles Budget and Debt Ceiling, Gold Sells Off Again!
by Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com
Syria, once again, is the top story this week. We heard from both President Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin. President Obama says an attack must be done to punish Syria for using chemical weapons. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Kerry tries to work out a deal to take control of Syria’s chemical weapons so an attack can be averted. Putin penned an op-ed piece in the New York Times that asked the U.S. not to attack because it will make matters worse and it would “spread the conflict far beyond Syria’s borders.” Putin also said the chemical weapons were used by the al-Qaeda rebels to draw the U.S. deeper into war. The White House says it was the Assad regime that used chemical weapons, and it is being helped by the terror group Hezbollah. This goes on and on, back and forth. The only good news to report is (for the time being) a U.S. attack is on hold. Some say Putin is playing Obama like a fiddle, and his foreign policy is “incompetent and schizophrenic.” Others say President Obama is making some brilliant moves. Whatever you call it, this situation is one of the most complicated and treacherous the country has ever faced. Any talk that a strike by the U.S. would be “targeted” or “limited” and would not provoke a wider war is nonsense. In my mind, any U.S. strike will kick off World War III. When Congress finally votes on Syria, that is what should be put clearly on the table. Meanwhile, as the Syrian conflict plays out, Russia has announced it will be sending weapons such as sophisticated anti-aircraft missiles to Iran. Russia also wants to build Iran a new nuclear reactor. The U.S and Israel have want Iran to curtail its nuclear ambitions. This only further complicates a very complicated Middle East situation.
