The US and Russia, the world's two most powerful militaries appear set to clash and much of the world has gone quiet in anticipation
Rating:
Loading...President Donald Trump has cancelled a trip to South America, and will instead consult with John Bolton, his new ultra-hawkish National Security Adviser. Trump, along with France, has promised a strong joint response in the coming days.
The President and his inner circle are reportedly considering a much larger strike on Syria than the one on April 7, 2017, where 59 cruise missiles briefly disabled an airbase suspected of playing a role in a chemical attack.
Now, almost exactly one year later, Trump again may strike Syria after another report of a chemical weapons attack that killed 40. This time, he has France's President Emmanuel Macron in his corner, but also acute threats of escalation from Syria's most powerful ally, Russia.
The threats you are proffering that you're stating vis-a-vis Syria should make us seriously worried, all of us, because we could find ourselves on the threshold of some very sad and serious events," Russian Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia warned US Ambassador Nikki Haley in a heated clash at the UN.
"If there is a strike by the Americans, then... the missiles will be downed and even the sources from which the missiles were fired," Russian Ambassador to Lebanon Alexander Zasypkin told.
The US wants a massive strike, but Russia won't make it easy.
As a result of shifting sparks, the demand for safe havens, such as Gold and metal backed ETFs, has risen sharply, the Turkish lira has reached a historic bottom and continues to falling, and the penalties imposed by Trump have led the Russian market collapsing.
One thing is clear for now, the tension is slightly subtle, but if there are any further actions, expect a global market storm.
