Well so far we have both Russia and Israel drawn into the snare so once China acts "suddenly and unexpectedly" then the firestarters will become the fireofficers. "Interesting times" are coming all the while tptb have the ready made solutions prepared for the economic and social cataclysms that will erupt during the escalated wars. There are even suggestions of unknown and untested warfare methods being tested during this next global warfare expedition. Some might say one will only know once the dust settles but the dust from some of these things will do a whole lot of destruction before its dust settles. Could be just a conspiracy theory though.
