Do Not Ignore The Pope-"We Are Now In WWIII

The world is about to get very ugly. Even the Pope is saying we are now in WWIII.

By Joel Ross | Updated on September 14, 2014

As a real estate person you probably think, I am operating here in the US and the geopolitical issues don’t really affect me, or at least not negatively. Last week Putin consolidated his effective leverage over Ukraine and Russia kidnapped a Estonian police official. Step one to begin pressure on Estonia. Israel and Egypt are not finished in Gaza. That has a long way to go. Israel stopped only because it was starting to run short of ammunition and Iron Dome rockets and Obama refused to provide the needed back up. China continued to exert its influence over the South China Sea, and its confrontations with those countries. Iran continued to drag the nuclear talks to a non deal in a few weeks and will lever Obama to extend again in exchange for help with ISIS, thereby allowing Iran to continue its progress to a bomb. ISIS beheaded a Brit and had time to readjust its forces while Obama diddles and does nothing but talk. Libya is in full civil war. Europe teeters on the edge of a new recession, with Italy already there. Obama essentially was turned down by the Arab and European countries when he asked for their joining the fight against terrorists. Only Syria said, sure, go ahead and wipe them out. And in summing up all of this, the Pope, of all people, said we are now in the piecemeal stages of WWIII. Just reflect on that for a moment. The Pope. The man of peace warning the world to act. Stating it is OK with God to attack ISIS. And you think you can just sit back and ignore all of this.
