Top Army General Fears War With China And Russia At The Same Time. By gowidenews 31 Oct, 2018 Report reaching us says that War between the U.S. and China, inconceivable just a decade ago,  is now a regular topic of analysis and conversation. Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, the just-retired commander of the U.S. Army in Europe, suggested conflict with the People’s Republic could come soon. “I think in 15 years—it’s not inevitable—but it is a very strong likelihood that we will be at war with China,” Hodges said last Wednesday at the Warsaw Security Forum. His stark assessment was followed, as it happened, by bellicose statements from Chinese ruler Xi Jinping and his defense minister. So I called Hodges over the weekend for clarification, and his estimation of the situation was in many respects even more grim than his remarks in Poland. What could be even worse than a Chinese attack? A simultaneous Russian assault in Europe on top of a Chinese attack is the worst “worst case.” Th...

Russia Falls in a Syrian Trap By gowidenews 30 Oct, 2018 Report reaching us says that since Three years past the military operation in Syria, Russia managed to achieve its goal, saving the regime of its ally, President Bashar al-Assad. Nonetheless, it failed to restore control over the entire territory of the country – or at least its most important regions. The state’s main sources of income (including gas and oil) are currently occupied by Kurds who enjoy support of the United States. In northern part of the country, both Moscow and Damascus need to confront Turkey – whose military forces have seized the province – that aims to suppress all forms of Kurdish autonomy, at the same time refusing to destroy the rebel-held enclave of Idlib. Nonetheless, the Kremlin is yet expected to face the most serious problem, which is the Israeli-American pressure to reduce – or even completely eliminate – any Iranian influences in Syria. Needless to say, as long as they are present in the cou...

Trump’s Iran Sanctions Resolve Faces Test From Oil-Thirsty China, India By gowidenews 29 Oct, 2018 Report reaching us says that A US Navy soldier onboard Mark VI Patrol Boat stands guard as an oil tanker moves towards Bahrain port, during an exercise in Arabian Sea, Bahrain, Sept. 11, 2018. Shortly after US President Donald Trump announced in May he would reimpose sanctions on Iran, the State Department began telling countries around the world the clock was ticking for them to cut oil purchases from the Islamic Republic to zero. The strategy is meant to cripple Iran’s oil-dependent economy and force Tehran to quash not only its nuclear ambitions, but this time, its ballistic missile program and its influence in Syria. With just days to go before renewed sanctions take effect Nov. 5, the reality is setting in: three of Iran’s top five customers — India, China, and Turkey — are resisting Washington’s call to end purchases outright, arguing there are not sufficient supplies wo...
