The Intersection of Three Crises

Germany and the Eurozone. The Ukraine / Russian issue. Iran and rapprochement. They are all interconnected with lots of conflicting interests.

[QUOTE][By Reva Bhalla
Within the past two weeks, a temporary deal to keep Greece in the eurozone was reached in Brussels, a cease-fire roadmap was agreed to in Minsk and Iranian negotiators advanced a potential nuclear deal in Geneva. Squadrons of diplomats have forestalled one geopolitical crisis after another. Yet it would be premature, even reckless, to assume that the fault lines defining these issues are effectively stable. Understanding how these crises are inextricably linked is the first step toward assessing when and where the next flare-up is likely to occur.

I don't know who will be fighting who, but this chapter in history looks so much like the 30's.

I don't think so. We don't have the large armies that were the back bone of WWII and nobody wants to pay for them. War is different now.
