History never repeats itself, but it sure does rhyme, it has been said. Now an internationally respected historian is warning that today's world bears a number of striking similarities with the build-up to the First World War.




The newly mechanised armies of the early 20th century produced unprecedented slaughter on the battlefields of the "war to end all wars" after a spark lit in the Balkans with the assassination of the Austro-Hungarian Empire's Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
Professor Margaret MacMillan, of the University of Cambridge, argues that the Middle East could be viewed as the modern-day equivalent of this turbulent region. A nuclear arms race that would be likely to start if Iran developed a bomb "would make for a very dangerous world indeed, which could lead to a recreation of the kind of tinderbox that exploded in the Balkans 100 years ago

This was the topic of discussion in the group of guys I have coffee with every morning. The general consensus is that it sure sounds right. A few of the older guys are saying that they are expecting some kind of major event here in the U..S. this year that will cause another round of security tightening nationwide- gun control especially. I don't know, I just have a gut feeling that things are right on the edge and I'm waiting for something bad to happen soon.

Obumer certainly threw a hissy fit when Congress didn't jump behind him in going to Syria... and Putin knows he's his whipping boy... Plus after Obumer patted himself on the back so many times for his heroism in getting Ossama he does think he can do anything...

This is why we do what we do guys.. Don't get too edgy but take the intel for what it is, yet one more part of the puzzle. Keep stocking, training and above all think outside the box.. Think you wont have to bug out because you live in a remote area?? Think again. How about some off site cache's? Think you are going to drive to your retreat? maybe not make plans accordingly...
