I doubt if this war is about the East or West. Even, previous wars haven't been a clash of polarities. The second world war was won by allied forces, same for ww1. Allied forces were East plus West.

Polarity is an emergence after change in world order and in this case we may have a multi-polar world with spheres of influence getting into religion, capital structure, ethnicity, social networks and that kind of thing.

The trick is to find a sphere of influence in a globalized world that can meet our needs. For example a multicultural and secularist network with capital creation accessible to most members will be the most stable and prosperous sphere. So far the people of the world are struggling to create it. Once again it will emerge by itself but aligning ourselves to such ideals is of strategic importance.

Kamenunga...time to start stocking kwa fridge and seeds kwa shamba. If you are living in a rented house...send some mabatis shags to build yourself a 'humble' abode during the war period. If you are a landlord be ready to reduce rent or have empty houses once the effect of the war hit our shores.

Anyway, as the Bible says - blessed are those who put their trust in the Lord. Even in the thickest time the Lord will see them through. I will continue trusting the Lord for a mighty deliverance in the war period.

I believe so. Generally there are forces that join, spread and undermine human efforts at creating order and with time a threshold is attained that leads to a collapse of status quo. It's something to do with life itself.

Because humans are generally conservative and bounded in rationality the change process becomes difficult to manage and relationships become the zones of affliction and wars arise.

So what will be the result?

Quickly degenerating. Russian sent a chopper to go search for the two pilots and now thr Turks have shot it too but it managed to land inside Syria.Putin is livid and he says,Turkey's action have consequences. Will NATO allies just watch if Russia decides to hit Turkey??
