I can't understand why everyone is shitting their pants about Ukraine when it doesn't affect us, and it barely affects Europe writ large. But, consider for a moment that the goal is invasion of Iran. Now, we know that ISIS was funded and trained by the United States government (CIA/State Dept.), for the express purpose of destabilizing the region and providing pretext for us to invade. However they have not been particularly successful.

So, it's possible that the Azov Battalion and other thugs in Ukraine who were also trained and funded a decade ago under the same program started during the Obama administration and carried out again by the CIA/State Dept. are meant to be the JV-ISIS, 2nd-stringers for if ISIS failed their mission of overthrowing Syria.

What I'm thinking is all this saber rattling in Ukraine is going to be used to goad Russia into an outright confrontation with America/some other NATO ally (Israeli planes painted French/German colors). This is not for the benefit of Ukraine and what might surprise people is that once we are at war with Russia, we will not be fighting in Ukraine nor any territory of Russia, but rather within Syria.

What will eventually be known as WW3 will be conducted inside of Syria at first, as we engage Russian troops inside Syria, but will ultimately spiral out into Iran as we engage the Syrian army and the Iranian army who will be caught in the crossfire. We will be formally at war with Syria and Iran as they are Russia's chief allies in the Middle-East.

I have seen no one else float this theory but it dovetails with the Clean Break Memo and the Odin Yinon Plan, both of which are better predictors of events in the Middle East than anything you will see on the news or read online.
