He describes exactly what is happening and what some choose to ignore. Whether it becomes a dangerous war situation is a hypothetical question that will be asked. However I think it will be resolved without a major war but with many small ones. I don't think the US is being kept out of it either, we all need consumers with big wallets. The US position will change as did Britains over the years after WW1 & WW2. Britain has become a hitech and tourism destination country, also big in investment. The US will follow this path as it exits manufacturing. US money will be involved in the development of these oil and gas links across Asia. Of course the US will get its nose out of joint as happened with Russia, but that is evolution. We are probably at the beginning of another golden era once the oil price hike has been digested. We will see the large populations of China and India become consumers...watch out. The Saddam Husseins had to go because of this huge scenario developing, no room for small players. The same is happening to Israel, US jews have bigger games to play in China etc...Israel is yesterday and cannot play a role in the Middle East anymore, not with China and Russia strolling around. The US never picks big wars, have you noticed? The dumbing down of America is almost complete with the dumbest[ and largest number of voters] in the mid west who put GB in power. America will survive but much of its profits will come from overseas action, deep oil drilling and the like.
