Wow, Iranians deployed even drones to bomb ISIS in Deir Ezzor!

First footage of Iranian drones, what seems to be reverse-engineered version of captured U.S. RQ-170 drone participating in strikes against ISIS in Deir Ez Zor earlier this morning.pic.twitter.com/dIvzQPxGZw

If those reversed engineered drones work as well as the original which I think they do as Americans appeared to have no idea they were right over hajjin where American soldiers are they could probably bomb dimona facilities in Israel.

Why do they have so many flashy lights ? Is it a bombing run or a demonstration ?

IKR?!

Let's see...

1. Syria - New upgraded version of S-300's to be deployed that will cover the entire country, as well as a dickload of short range missile systems to complement them. As well as Russian active jamming along the coast. Syria is now the most heavily defended country in the entire Middle East.

  Syrian army now has permission to shoot down Israeli planes over Lebanon.

  If the agreed upon conditions with Turkey aren't FULLY met by Oct. 15th, then Idlib will immediately get lit up Russian air strikes and they WILL liberate it by force.

2. Iran - Said a mighty FUCK YOU to the U.S. and Israel by shooting ballistic missiles that not only hit their targets, but was extremely close to a U.S. base. This right here will likely get used as a pretext for the U.S. and Israel to launch an attack on Iran, and we all know what will happen next. Russia now has a base there and I seriously doubt they will just sit there and do nothing.

3. Iraq - Russia has now said that they are willing to offer the same military assistance that they have given Syria, if Iraq accepts, this will be HUGE.

4. Serbia - They are now seeking "advice" from Putin due to Kosovo's actions, no telling what will happen as a result, but if it ends up being more than mere advice, then this will be yet another flash point.

5. South Korea - Is now holding a Russian ship and their crew, Russia is of course demanding it's immediate release, this could be very serious if South Korea doesn't relent.

6. India and Pakistan - Looks like they are both amassing forces on both sides of the border and this may end up being a major war involving two nuclear powers.

7. China - There is the well known tensions between them and the U.S. with the trade dispute and there's always the South China Sea and anything that may happen there.

7. The United States and Russia - Suggestions of a naval blockade of Russia which will IMMEDIATELY be considered a declaration of WAR (And rightfully so) by Russia.

Have I missed anything?

So yes, shit is really heating up and it's looking to me like all the playing pieces are moving into place for WWIII. I have never before seen such a motion of events such as this in my life. Unless things seriously change, I am now of the opinion that WWIII is now not only unavoidable, but IMMINENT.

True enough.

The most immediate things I think to watch out for aside from Syria is any retaliation against Iran for their missile attack on ISIS near the American base, the escalation and build up of Pakistan and India's forces on both sides of the border, and if South Korea decides to free the captured Russian vessel and it's crew, and if they don't, what Russia's response will be. Also of note is Israel's upcoming strike against targets in Lebanon this week.

“The only unambiguously positive sector for gold at the moment is central banks,”

John Normand, head of cross asset fundamental strategy at JP Morgan, said Monday morning that changes to the agreement are "modest" and not "transformational."
Other analysts said the agreement looks more like "rebranding" than "revolution", though the Trump administration won key concessions that will likely increase the percentage of car parts made in North America,
while Canada also agreed to open up its dairy market to US farmers.
Canada walked away with some concessions; the new agreement preserves Chapter 19 of the deal,
which allows an independent panel to resolve disputes among the agreement's members

It's kind of a nothing burger really in terms of 'scale' across the US economy... this 'victory dance' is more about next month's elections.

Warships and support vessels of the Northern Fleet led by the destroyer Vice Admiral Kulakov have begun the final stage of a long-range mission to the Arctic.

In total, these ships "have sailed over 8,000 nautical miles and held over ten joint tactical drills; among other things, they completed maritime airborne operations on the coasts of Yakutia and Chukotka in the Laptev Sea, the Chukchi Sea, and the Bering Sea for the first time,"
