A close scrutiny of the writings of political analyst Rich Scheck
\nwill reveal that his predictions of more wars and social chaos
\ncontinue to come true.<\/p>\n
Scheck has been writing about events for more than a decade
\nto the chagrin of many of his friends who want him to eschew
\nwhat they see as his depressing views.<\/p>\n
Current events are vindicating his ability to see how decisions
\nby political leaders produce negative consequences.<\/p>\n
The unfolding crisis in Syria is particularly damning for those\u00a0advocating more reliance on military force after years of failure\u00a0applying a similar strategy in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and\u00a0elsewhere—exactly as Scheck forecast would happen.<\/p>\n
The invasion of Iraq in 2003 by the Bush Administration was\u00a0inspired by the Neocon philosophy outlined by the Project For\u00a0A New American Century and other think-tanks that had a\u00a0powerful influence on President Bush.<\/p>\n
Scheck has stated clearly for over a decade how that invasion
\nand the subsequent expansion of the war throughout the region
\nby Obama and his predecessor have produced the tragedy we
\nsee before us today.<\/p>\n
A mini-global war is being fought in Syria with a vast array of Ukraine remains a point of extreme danger even though attention And Obama’s Asia Pivot has resulted in the attempt to encircle So we have a global war that is expanding and is only constrained As we saw with the shoot down of the Russian jet by Turkey, push All these developments confirm what Scheck and many other writers A thorough reading of the brilliant article by Andrew Bacevich shows that As things now stand, Scheck is still forecasting increased fighting and more http:\/\/theintercept.com\/2015\/12\/04\/defense-contractors-cite-benefits-of-escalating-conflicts-in-the-middle-east\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n http:\/\/revolutionradio.org\/?p=115555<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n http:\/\/www.veteranstoday.com\/2015\/12\/06\/turks-moving-more-troops-into-iraq-in-ploy-to-peel-away-kurdish-region\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n http:\/\/revolutionradio.org\/?p=115597<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n http:\/\/www.veteranstoday.com\/2015\/12\/06\/holes\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n http:\/\/revolutionradio.org\/?p=115547<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
\nforces from NATO and those aligned with Russia pursuing
\nconflicting interests, all in the name of defeating ISIS.

\nas well as confront China. The Chinese, like their Russian counter-
\nparts, remain above the fray. They refuse to over-react to a variety
\nof Western provocations while pecking away at the edges of
\nthe New World Order. Their aggressive maneuvers associated with
\nthe BRICS\/SILK Road\/AIIB approach of economic development,
\ncurrency protection as part of the IMF reserve basket and the
\napplication of military strength in the Spratleys and other contested
\nregions is the hallmark of their current strategy.

\nby the reality of nuclear weapons stockpiles that give pause to all
\nout fighting by the various nations.<\/p>\n
\ncould easily come to shove with massive escalation of fighting if any
\nparty stirs the pot too much. Fortunately that has not yet happened
\nbut the danger level remains extremely high and is growing as more
\nplayers (including Germany, France and China) enter the fray.<\/p>\n

\ndecisions and failed policies.<\/p>\n
\neven he underestimates the seriousness of the issues. His powerful review
\nof what it will take to actually win the war against ISIS is daunting. But his
\nversion of WWIV leaves out any mention of what will follow should Russia
\nand\/or China become the targets of Western military action.

\nwars. I know he wants to be wrong in his doom and gloom analysis. But
\nhis commitment to telling it like it is prevents him from being overly optimistic
\nin a world that seems intent on finding new ways to keep on killing while wasting
\nthe precious resources needed for the next generation’s well-being.<\/p>\n
