Re: 15-Apr-17 World View -- US sends dozens of troops to Somalia, first time since Black Hawk Down

Somalia's civil war and the Black Hawk Down incident
What exactly occurred in 1994 that constituted a crisis war climax? I'm having trouble pin-pointing to a specific event or battle.

Re: Prelude to Paraguayan Crisis War?

I've just spent most of the day studying Paraguay's history. Thanks for the links. It looks to me that the Chaco War climaxed in 1935, and the period from 1935-54 was a Recovery Era, when Stroessner took over at the start of the Awakening era and instituted bloody crackdowns such as we're seeing to...

Re: Prelude to Paraguayan Crisis War?

Interesting - Paraguay may present a rare occasion for generational dynamics. A nation deep in a crisis war with no internal fault-lines and surrounded by neighbors in a non-crisis era. The last crisis wars for its neighbors, according to my best research, is the following. Argentina = The Dirty War...

Re: Prelude to Paraguayan Crisis War?

It looks to me that the Chaco War climaxed in 1935, and the period from 1935-54 was a Recovery Era, when Stroessner took over at the start of the Awakening era and instituted bloody crackdowns such as we're seeing today in Syria and South Sudan. Why do you believe that 1935 was not the climax The 1...

Prelude to Paraguayan Crisis War?

Apparently protesters in Asuncion, Paraguay have set fire to the Congress building in protest of a possible constitutional amendment that would allow the president to run for a second term. Their concern is that this could lead to another brutal dictatorship like the one led by General Stroessner fr...

https://qz.com/916382/chinese-president-xi-jinping-has-vowed-to-lead-the-new-world-order/ Interesting article on Xi Jinping's Chinese Dream. According to this article, China is about to engage in a more internationalist/globalist foreign policy as the US retreats back into isolationism. In light of ...

Re: 10-Feb-17 World View -- Kenya's High Court blocks attempt to close Dadaab refugee camp

10-Feb-17 World View -- Kenya's High Court blocks attempt to close Dadaab refugee camp John, have you deduced what generational era Somalia is at this time? I can't seem to make heads or tails of it. A Crisis War appears to have started in 1991 with the outbreak of the Somali Civil War and the coll...

Table of America and other nation's mid-cycle periods, from climax of a crisis war to the next regeneracy event, and an equivalency to today's mid-cycle period.

Why does the United States have so few internal faultlines?

Something I have been reflecting on is exactly why the United States has been so successful and relatively stable throughout its history compared to most other nations, tribes, and empires. I found that much of it has to do with unique circumstances regarding its crisis wars, which account for the s...

Re: 14-Jul-16 World View -- Police clashes in India-governed Kashmir kill 36 and leaves thousands injured

It looks like civil war will come to America soon. How can it not? The situation is out of control. We are nowhere near a new civil war in America. Every now and then I'll hear talk of a race war between whites and blacks or Hispanics, but even just from my interactions with people of all three rac...
