Generational Dynamics World View News
Re: Generational Dynamics World View News
Been reading GDWVN for a while now and have read both of your latest books. But I have an exception to India. Ethnic memory is very long. For example when Jews do the Passover service one of the passages includes the wording "when I was a slave", Muslims teach that the "Crusades" are almost yesterday and in India I would expect that the non Muslem Indians would remember the Muslem conquest of India and subsiquent slaughters, slavery along with all of the other humiliations. So what is happening now does not suprise me as a matter of fact I am suprised that a sort of peace lasted this long - 70 plus years. Multiculturalism can work for a while but does not work in the long run and this is but another example,
On another subject, the Chicom flu. Maybe the Iranians can get lucky and the old goat leaders have to retire or possibly involuntairly. Hope that the successors have fewer desires to restablish the Persian Empire.

** 27-Feb-2020 World View: India's history
a book on India and I have a folder on my computer containing hundreds
of articles and books on the history of India, but I didn't have a
chance to finish the book.
So I understand what you're saying, but I don't understand where you
believe you're disagreeing with me. Perhaps you could explain
further.
Iran is in a great deal of trouble because the clerics do nothing but
suck up money and make demands that the other parts of the government
are afraid to ignore. The country is wasting money on foreign
adventures, Iran's interference in Iraq is strongly opposed by many
Iraqis, they shot down a passenger plan, they were caught by surprise
by the coronavirus, they're still kowtowing to the Chinese and
refusing to end flights from China, their ministers are infected, and
they're still in denial about the seriousness of the epidemic.
The leadership in both China and Iran will be blamed on ineffective
response to the epidemic and will be threatened with "regime change,"
and the leadership in both China and Iran will find a way to blame the
United States.

** 27-Feb-2020 World View: Coronavirus and Smoking
The 1918 Spanish flu infected 1/3 of world's population, killed 50
million people.
The 2009 swine flu killed 575,000 people.
Coronavirus - 78,000 infections so far, 2,800 dead so far. 80% of
infections are mild.
Here is something completely different that I've never heard before,
from an interview on al-Jazeera with Dr. Vin Gupta, University of
Washington Medical Center. This provides a partial explanation
of some other mysteries -- why the epidemic is so much worse
in China than elsewhere:
Respiratory pathogens -- SARS, Coronavirus, Avian flu -- are
geographically affected. They take root where people smoke a lot.
And the Chinese have the highest smoking prevalence rate in the world,
and it's not even close amongst men. Women in China get exposure to
second hand smoke at levels you wouldn't believe. So there's poor
lung health in China. Once it takes root in China, since it's a
respiratory illness, it can spread to other countries.

** 27-Feb-2020 World View: Turkey in crisis after Syrian airstrike kills 33 Turkish soldiers
Turkey's government, led by president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, held an
emergency meeting of ministers and senior security officials on
Thursday evening to decide how to respond after an airstrike by the
Bashar al-Assad regime in Idlib, Syria, killed dozens of Turkish
soldiers, with reports giving the number between 22 and 33.
Saturday is the deadline day that Erdogan has specified for weeks for
Syrian forces to retreat to a previously agreed ceasefire line, behind
Turkey's military outposts in Idlib, also part of the same agreement.
But now, two days before the deadline, Syria's airstrikes are a major
escalation in the war, and a "casus belli" that Turkey will not
be able to ignore, even if it wanted to. Since Iran and Russia are
backing Syria, this could logically lead to war between Turkey and
Russia, for the first time since World War I. However, in recent
speeches and actions by Erdogan, it seems clear that Turkey would not
hesitate to fight Syrian forces to drive them back, all the way to
Damascus if necessary, but that Turkey does not want a war with
Russia.
Russia, on the other hand, is aggressively backing Syrian forces in
Idlib, apparently with the expectation that Turkey will retreat and
give al-Assad control of all of Idlib, with resulting slaughter and
ethnic cleansing of millions of al-Assad's Sunni Arab political
enemies, most of whom are children, and most of the rest of whom are
women. Al-Assad calls them all "terrorists," and considers them to be
cockroaches to be exterminated. Russia and Syria have both been
specifically targeting schools, hospitals and residential homes in
order to force the ethnic cleansing as quickly and thoroughly as
possible.
So Turkey does not want war with Russia, and Russia does not want war
with Turkey, but powerful generational forces are taking control,
and pushing them to war.
If we compare these leaders, you may not like Erdogan, but he's the
most honest of the politicians since he takes credit or blame for what
he does. Bashar al-Assad is a vicious psychopathic monster, but he's
also honest, in that he makes it clear that he has no hesitation to
slaughter millions of innocent Sunni Arab women and children in Idlib,
and become a war criminal. To him they are, after all, just
cockroaches.
As usual, Vladimir Putin never opens his mouth except that total
bullshit pours out onto the floor. He says he wants peace in Idlib,
but what he says is always garbage. He couldn't care less about
peace. So what does he want?
According to analyst Pavel Felgenhauer:
conclusion that it doesn't matter what Putin wants, since there are
powerful generational forces driving the situation.
My conclusion also is that Putin's fantasy for victory in Idlib is
that Turkey is finally forced to open the border and allow millions of
Syrian refugees to cross into Turkey, and then continue traveling on
into Europe. Putin would consider millions of Syrian refugees, many
with coronavirus infections, pouring into Europe to be a major victory
over Europe.
So it seems that all the relevant parties have made irrevesible
choices, and we should see the results over the weekend.

Russia wants revenge on Europe for "Europe's Historic Mistreatment and Humiliation of Russia".
Nobody likes Turkey. Turkey will not fight Russia, such that Russia MUST fight back hard.
Russia will "win". Period.
