The traditional\u00a0nationalistic bellowing might lead to an out of control escalation where push comes to shove and those who\u00a0are not on board the globalist train or who reject its goals take matters into their own hands.<\/p>\n<p>That could readily happen in Syria, Ukraine or elsewhere. This is a very delicate arrangement that might\u00a0collapse or be sabotaged in a variety of ways resulting in massive loss of life and the devastation of large\u00a0areas of land. Nuclear war is one of many potentially scary consequences facing all of us. \u00a0This analysis may explain the recent disappearance of President Putin for nearly two weeks as he may\u00a0have been maneuvering behind the scenes to put out fires and negotiate with other elite insiders on how\u00a0best to proceed. \u00a0There are lots of reasons to believe this elaborate and ambitious plan may fail. But to the extent it represents\u00a0a possible alternative future to the current mess, perhaps folks fifty years from now will look back and point to\u00a0this time frame the same way we look at Breton Woods, Yalta and the end of WW2 as a formative period.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.veteranstoday.com\/2015\/03\/19\/global-shift-in-the-balance-of-power-is-moving-from-west-to-east\/\">http:\/\/www.veteranstoday.com\/2015\/03\/19\/global-shift-in-the-balance-of-power-is-moving-from-west-to-east\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/revolutionradio.org\/?p=95853\">http:\/\/revolutionradio.org\/?p=95853<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/larouchepub.com\/other\/2015\/4212china_new_path_wrld.html\">http:\/\/larouchepub.com\/other\/2015\/4212china_new_path_wrld.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>N. B.:\u00a0This was written in March as a possible positive scenario and alternative<br \/>\nto more war. As events have played out over the last 9 months, my deep<br \/>\nconcerns about &#8220;push coming to shove&#8221; and the escalation of tensions<br \/>\nas opposed to cooperation have been borne out. Regrettably, the major<br \/>\npowers seem incapable at this moment in history of moving forward in<br \/>\nways that promote peace and prosperity and are once more opting to see<br \/>\nwho can best succeed by relying on military force. Sadly, Cheney&#8217;s Long War<br \/>\nprediction is being vindicated and those like myself with a different agenda<br \/>\ncan rightfully be seen as being guilty of wishful thinking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La Costa, CA March 20, 2015 The Quest For A New Planetary Blueprint For Peace<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26735","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=26735"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26735\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=26735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=26735"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=26735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
