China Warns Of Full-Scale War In Syria

China’s top state newspaper warned on Monday that any Western-backed military intervention in Syria would unleash even bloodier chaos, and said abandoning envoy Kofi Annan’s peace plan could push Syria into the “abyss” of full-scale war, as Lebanese forces managed to restore calm in the northern city of Tripoli after Syria-linked deadly clashes.

“It is easy to imagine the turmoil that would occur should Syria erupt into all-out civil war, triggering Western military intervention,” said a commentary in the paper, which generally reflects Chinese government thinking.

Iran Official Hints Dimona Reactor May Be Targeted

'One million Jews will flee Israel'

Safavi further noted that "The Zionists are living in such international conditions that if they intend to launch an attack against Iran, one million Jews will flee Israel in the first one or two weeks. Jews are very vulnerable there."

However, in case of an attack, "we will act against their military operation smartly, proportional to any damage that they inflict on us ... meaning we will hurt them as much as they hurt us." This may suggest that Iran would attempt to target the Dimona reactor.

Safavi again stressed that the entire State of Israel is within Iran's rocket range and that Hezbollah may join an Iranian counter-attack "with thousands of rockets against the Zionist regime."

"Thunder" Will Fall On Israel If It Attacks Iran: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei

Any attack by Israel on Iran will blow back on the Jewish state “like thunder,” Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said on Sunday.

His speech, broadcast on state television to mark the 1989 death of his predecessor and founder of the Islamic republic, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, contained no sign Iran was prepared to make any concessions on its disputed nuclear program.

Why People Are Going Nuts Over New George Soros Speech On Europe

Well there's a lot in it for people to like. He gives a nice roundhouse kick to the Germans, which is usually pretty popular. And he says that the Eurozone has 3 months to fix the crisis, which provides a perfect hook for headline-writers.

But what's special about the speech is his characterization of the Euro as being itself being a "bubble."

But as Soros notes, the financial crisis, and Merkel's declaration that each country would be responsible for their own bank bailouts crushed the logic of the bubble.

When the bubble logic was over, then all of the related assumptions, like the risk-free-ness of the peripheral nations came into question, and the sovereign debt crisis began.

Bottom line: Soros' speech is going viral because he fills in a big piece of the narrative. And although some are whining that he's giving the speech ex-post facto, most people aren't even good at explaining what happened in the past.

There were roughly 3,500 counter-protesters to the 700 neo-Nazis, and close to 10,000 peaceful protesters at a separate rally in front of the city hall.

To contain the situation, an astounding 4,400 police officers were deployed.

Authorities estimate that the protesters caused roughly 1.5 million Euros worth of damage, during a time where austerity and budgets are the central concern of Europe. Germany has been forced to shoulder a large amount of the burden for its neighbors, and the German public is seemingly losing its patience.
