OK. So lets play a game. With the US changing our international focus, where are the powder kegs. I have said watch the Balkans (perfect Triangle of fuckery and true believers). So where else? North Africa? Nah, they are gonna sell shit to whomever. Peru/Ecuador? Those fucks don't have fuel to fight a war.
My place to watch per continent that impact us. Play or don't play. Tired of every thread becoming the same shit. Whatever is going on today, we have to think about tomorrow.
1- Africa- The Great Lakes/Nile. Ethiopia vs. Egypt vs Sudan. Add in the Rift Valley. Kenya says Commonwealth my Ugandan brethren (meanwhile Rwanda goes forward and make a new Kingdom.
2- Asia. (India/Pakistan is easy. So is Taiwan. Does anyone care about Burma? So my wild card is Oman. Sultan dies, Iran and Saudis want control. Both can claim it. We think of Hormuz. Nah, its Salalah. (Russia collapses, we don't care about Mongolia)
3- Americas (North)- Coup in Costa Rica. Laugh, but shit happens. Gringo investment is not the same across the country. Limon is poor. Ticos talk about it. Panama is easy. Meh, 82nd with support goes in.
4- Americas (South) Argentina and Chile. Over some obscure pass in the Andes. Lots of minerals in them there mountains. But two subs fight in the Magellan strait. Benefit for the surly 1%. Hot chicks.
5- Australia. This is a hard one, since so many places are not on anyone's map. But a change in regime going pro-china would hurt the Indo-Pacom push. So. Lets pick one. Guam. A nice little airbase and add modern anti-air/antiship. Has the atoll to build on.
6- Europe. Well here is the shit show. Balkans. Not your usual shit. Orban tries to build a new empire? Nah. Sweden goes all Carl Gustav? Nah. Shit starts in Bosnia, moves south, hits Bulgaria/Romania, Greece feels its oats and here comes the historical power and says fuck you all. Turkey. Pushes to recreate a vision of the Ottoman empire. This is the scariest. While moving into the EU/NATO countries via influence, it pushes ideology NE and military into Syria/ North Iraq. Caucus Oil Baby.)
Please note I left Medical and Environmental off this.
TL:DR OU Sux.
