Iranian Warships Heading For U.S. Coast.

The commander of Iran's Northern Navy Fleet, Adm. Afshin Rezayee Haddad, told Iranian media that the Irianian government would be sending ships to the Atlantic Ocean and into U.S. Maritime borders, which is 14 miles from land. The reason given was to protest the U.S.'s Fifth Fleet presence in the Persian Gulf.

"When they cross into the North Atlantic, we'll start the harassment," says Chris Harmer, an analyst at the Institute for the Study of War.

Michael Connell director of Iranian studies at the center for Naval Analysis, stated that serious interactions happen about twice a year and this sort of cat and mouse game is common. 

Common? Maybe in the Persian Gulf, but allowing fully armed war ships in striking distance from our shores, especially near our Capital is scary to say the least.



 Iran currently has the Shahab-3 "Shooting Star" missile that had a range of 1,000 miles and is capable of accommodating a substantial warhead. Although it is commonly believed the Iranians do not have nuclear weapons, the possibility is great they do considering their uranium enrichment program, this is not something we should leave to chance. 

The U.S. Navy will have all eyes and hears glued to the convoy, given the Iranians antics to start war with the US Navy in the Persian Gulf, that included throwing cardboard boxes that were painted black to look like mines in front of US Warships or flying low over US ships with helicopters sending warnings over the radio,  the Navy will have to be prepared to counter any threat.

China and Taiwan Form Truce As War With Japan Approaches

The Senkaku islands located in the East China Sea have become a hot issue in recent months after the Chinese once again claimed the territory. The Japanese who received the islands from the US, issued statements that they would defend the islands with military force and have increased patrols around them. Since the ultimatum, China issued a "no fly zone", which the USA and Japanese have largely dismissed as political posturing. The main focus in the media revolves around the two major players in the conflict, yet conveniently ignore the fact that Taiwan has claimed the islands too and in the recent past near wars have broken out between China and Taiwan over the islands. So what would prompt a peaceful sit down? An Alliance and the planning for a future war, similar to how Italy made an alliance with the Nazi's to avoid destruction and to gain more political power during the war. 

 

In the meeting in Nanjing, the Chinese and Taiwanese designed a new communication system, effectively ending 65 years of hostilities. Taiwanese Minister of mainland affairs proclaimed the meeting a great success and called it a "new chapter" in relations between the two once violently opposed governments. 

“This will be good for regional stability,” George Tsai, a political scientist at Taipei-based Chinese Culture University commented. "Even if Taiwan elects a new government in 2016, there shouldn't be any back-pedaling on the relationship after ministerial-level dialogue is established.”

Are we seeing the formation of another axis of evil? Time will tell but the agreement made is surely only the beginning of nations picking sides in what will become another global war.

Switzerland Preparing For Global Collapse

A Majority of Swiss citizens voted in favor of a referendum on Immigration reform, which marks the largest overhaul of Swiss policy in modern history. Included in the reform is language that now will limit immigration quotas and require Swiss Nationals be given priority in hiring over non-residents. Other member nations that are part of European Union are expected to be vocally opposed to the new regulations. 

Laurentt Fabius, Foreign Minister of France, as already called out leaders in Switzerland on what he views as a terrible choice by the Swiss people. 

"It us a vote that causes concern because it means that Switzerland Wants to withdraw into itself." Mr. Fabius told RTL radio
Is the European Union's dismay over Swiss  immigration reform really about human rights or is a concern that the Swiss decision is more reflective of future tough decisions that will have to occur to hold back the unstoppable collapse?




Viviane Reding, vice president of the European Commission which is the executive arm of the E.U. Said " (they)..could not pick and choose." and further added "it is a whole package they have signed up for."  Clearly the EU is scared of how this will change the view of current economic status in the E.U.

Switzerland currently is the third wealthiest country in Europe, with a GDP of $44,015.97 and Zurich located 408 meters above sea level on the lower end of Lake Zurich boosts the highest quality of life in the entire world, with a high level of investment, low corporate tax rate and high level of skilled labor. It's no wonder they are closing the borders, after all there will be future mass influx of economic refugees to wealthy countries. 

European officials are now in a echo chamber with most sharing the sentiment of Pia Ahrenkilde Hansen, spokeswoman for the EU who spoke with reporters in Brussels.

“We have been extremely clear about what it means to have free movement of people as part of our overall agreement with Switzerland, and we have established that this is an initiative that does run counter to the principle of free movement of people between the European Union and Switzerland,” 

Could it be the EU members are mad because the Swiss beat them to enacting policy and not taking what the EU believes is their fair share of responsibility for the less fortunate of the world? Most likely we will see more wealthy nations shutting their doors to save their own people.
