Behind the Headlines: 'World War Syria' - Controlled chaos, or out-of-control chaos?

This week on Behind the Headlines, Joe and Niall were joined by Truth Perspective host Harrison Koehli to discuss the extremely tense situation in Syria, where Turkey and Russia are waging a barely veiled 'proxy' war over Syria's future. What are we looking at here: a cold war turned hot? Is a world war on the cards?

Seasoned geopolitical analyst William Engdahl, in his recent article for New Eastern Outlook, 'Washington's Machiavellian Game in Syria', reckons the 'reality-creators across the pond' have manipulated both Russia and the main players in the Middle East into a fatal trap: regional conflagration in order to 're-shape the Middle East'.

But with contradictory statements being made by US leaders, and apparently contradictory actions being taken by the different players on the 'grand chessboard', couldn't it be said that it's all coming apart at the seams for the Western imperialists? Or is the chaos in the Middle East, and elsewhere, all unfolding according to 'the grand plan'?

You might call it...........

Leveling the playing field.

In examining our deep past with a critical eye, one might discover that when a society self-destructs, the over- arching paradigm is one that epitomized the concept: "IF I'm going down, you're going with me."

Thanks for putting the broadcast up on the page. I wonder if the US's behaviour is different because of the elections coming up?

I don't agree that they want to avoid a 'hot' war. They just want other countries to fight it for them (i.e. Turkey, Saudi Arabia and even their precious Israel). Against Russia of course. This is where all their work bad mouthing Russia comes home to roost. It's what the 'general public' believes that matters and allows these things to happen, or not. They've put a lot of work into hiding the truth and manipulating public opinion.

Anyways, There is no such thing as a world war. The name "World War" Was established when the Federal Reserve came to existence. (December 23, 1913)

And yes, there will be no "hot war" becouse when it will be, it's going to be nuclear.
