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.

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.

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.
