Remember the Spanish civil war? A backward country (at the time) on the edge of Europe with different parties supported by different countries. Move forward almost a century and the situation in Ukraine looks eerily similar. Of course what people remember is what came next. If it wasn't for Guernica, and Pablo Picasso, the Spanish Civil war would now be forgotten outside Spain, not the Second World War, although it is at Guernica that the first "modern" aerial bombing took place, just like today where war is becoming centered on drones under our eyes in Eastern Ukraine.
As the Canadian Preper outline below, "if you believe the current trade war is about Nike Shoes coming back to the US..." Clearly it's all about the conflict between China and the US and who in the end will control the world. America is trying to preempt the rise of China and may well go after Iran in order to do so. (Iran being a major source of oil for China and for now beyond the ability for China to do anything about it.) This is geo-strategy at the highest level and what was called in the 19C "The Great Game!".
