(OP) Forum Administrator User ID: 19631260 United States 01/04/2016 11:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I posted this in another thread. I watched a documentary the other day that focused on the Shi'ite versus Sunni wars that began in approximately 11AD. It was during this period that assassination was first used as a primary mode of war and the first time terrorist cells were created. It was also the first time Shi'ites and Sunnis began assassinating each other's clerics. They have not evolved much since 11AD. Brother against brother. Each claims the mahdi is of their own and won't stop until only one remains. To know where your heart is, look where your mind goes when it wanders. A rock in bad hands killed Abel.

Took back all gains and is now in the 36 handle. China markets suspended trading, it started tanking right from the get go and fell like a rock. Think they fell like 7% which is huge. Markets here, I believe, stop trading at 5% loss.

User ID: 62524796 United States 01/04/2016 12:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I posted this up on Janey's thread in terms of where I see things going. My take on the situation is this: 1.) All diplomatic ties have been severed amongst the Sunni ruled nation-states against the Shia aka Persian (Iran). That was bound to happen due to an Ayatollah being executed at the behest of a dementia ridden King Salman of the KSA. 2.) All forms of commerce, trade, and cooperation have been cut. 3.) Soon we will all bear witness to a major increase of the Proxy Wars. Pay strict attention at the Shia-dominated forces in Yemen. They've made serious gains inside the southern regions of the KSA. Expect that to heat up to the point where it goes hot. 4.) All eyes will be on Iran due to the free navigation of the Straits of Hormuz. They'll be targeting Saudi oil tankers and supers. 5.) Expect to see a rapid build-up of foreign military forces in the region, as the major powers ramp up their proxies to the point where the big kids step into the playground to fight. 6.) Oil. Oil. Oil. The global markets will crumble and panic once it all goes wild weasel. That's where I see things going for the time being. Everything is subject to change as you all know. That being said, what I hypothesized is strictly probability, not a certainty. Stay frosty.
