re: All of this around the world happening is not a coincidence

Listen to Glenn Beck (yes, I know) talk about Alexander Dugan. Nutshell: he espouses a return to Traditional Powers and their spheres of influence, i e, China,Russia, Turkey, Persia (Iran). Each will act independently of each other to their own best interests. It’s a rebuttal to the Western idea of Globalism. The Armenian conflict also fits in with this scenario. I don’t know enough about it to agree or disagree, but it’s very compelling.
