Top 10 threats in 2012 that would trigger US military involvement

Threats to watch in 2012

These are the Top 10 that directly threaten the U.S. homeland and are likely to trigger U.S. military involvement:

-- A mass casualty attack on the U.S. homeland or on a treaty ally.

False-flag... blamed on Iran/militias/Pakistan...

-- A severe North Korean crisis (e.g., armed provocations, internal political instability, advances in nuclear weaponry.

Which could very well happen, along with China involvement. Kim Jong Un's birthday is Sunday... and there's the big 100 years anniversary of Kim Il Sung's birth on April 15. Lots of stuff brewing.

-- A major military incident with China involving U.S. or allied forces.

Which could happen over the South China islands dispute or Taiwan, which has elections on January 14 or illegal fishing in South Korean/Japanese waters.

-- An Iranian nuclear crisis (e.g., surprise advances in nuclear weapons/delivery capability, Israeli response).

Could be false-flag in the strait, Iran reacting to sanctions, preemptive Israeli strike, lots of things...

-- A highly disruptive cyberattack on U.S. critical infrastructure (e.g., telecommunications, electrical power, pipeline output, transportation and emergency services.

Could happen... blaming anonymous, China, whoever... also to help pass SOPA...

-- A significant increase in drug trafficking violence in Mexico that spills over into the United States.

Fast and Furious... and cartels getting stronger and stronger... The whole Atzlan movement too could go hot...

-- Severe internal instability in Pakistan triggered by a civil-military crisis or terror attacks.

Pakistan has been now openly backing the Talibans and refuse to go after dozens of groups, they have also blocked supplies lines to NATO... there's always the risk of a military coup... Also they could do some more attacks in India... They could shot down US aircraft/helicopter on the border of Pakistan... Nukes disappearing...

-- Political instability in Saudi Arabia that endangers global oil supplies.

Which could easily happen with the Arab spring.

-- A U.S.-Pakistan military confrontation, triggered by a terror attack or U.S. counter-terror.

In Afghanistan or in the US, real or not.

-- Intensification of the European sovereign debt crisis that leads to the collapse of the euro, triggering a double-edged transatlantic crisis.

Which will probably happen for sure...

Could also add :
- Syria
- Lebanon
- Jordan
- Fukushima getting worse forcing the evacuation of Tokyo
- Georgia getting into NATO (unlikely for 2012)
- Revolution in Russia

Happy 2012!

From what I'm seeing, Barry will send in the marines to kill a spider if it means more money, power and authority for the government. Let's not forget we must protect the oil with heavily armed military personnel while we kill the spiders

So....pretty much the same things as last year then?

Let's hope none of these things cause a conflict.
