      This is all based on small bits of data but I’d expect them to take something in the Caribbean or South America first. Over the past months the US has moved into an deactivated naval base in Puerto Rico. Roosevelt Roads is base and land they had already given back to the island years ago, but they just walked right in and took it again without asking. The armament moved in there is vast, including squadrons of F-35s and bombers. Why? Cuba?

      No matter what, I think Greenland is a distraction while they make moves and preparations for an attack elsewhere.

              One of two ways. With Trump dead of “natural causes” and/or Democrats sweeping the mid-terms and putting the breaks in this madness or with short term absolute chaos that brings about a world I cannot imagine.
