Is it all connected??

[kentuck]

The immigration crisis at our border, the sanctions on Russia announced last night, the Ukrainian plane that was shot down yesterday, the Malaysian plane shot down today, the Israeli military going into the Gaza strip today, the phone calls between the leaders...??

[Agschmid]

1. No.

[CBGLuthier]

2. No.

Next question.

[darkangel218]

3. What are you saying?

Who do you think is behind this ( if any) ?

[frazzled]

4. If you have to ask, the answer is no.

So, no.

[randys1]

5. I love CT but this makes no sense to me, the players dont have common interests

[Silent3]

6. On Fox News I'm sure it is... to BENGHAZI!!11!!!!

And of course, that "tyrant" Obama being such a "weak leader". (Yes, you're supposed to ignore the contradiction there.)

7. Not that it matters what I think

but we are in a weakened political state created by a ineffective system of governance. The partisan divide in this country...and just pretty much political turmoil. I honestly think that we aren't as feared as we once were and perhaps the players see our governmental gridlock as a way to flex their muscles? Kind of a "whatchagonnadoaboutit"?

[SomethingFishy]

14. I think we are still feared.. but mostly a

"What are those crazy fuckers going to do next" kind of fear.

We destroyed Iraq for no sound reason. And we wonder why Iran wants a nuke...

[Horse with no Name]

18. Exactly. I don't believe this was a choreographed scenario, but perhaps one of opportunity. n/t

11. It was all to stop the LIRR strike!

[LanternWaste]

12. I see neither rational reason nor valid evidence to suggest as such.

13. Speculations abound.

No idea really.

[The Magistrate]

15. Only In The Dirk Gently Sense, Sir....

[kentuck]

16. Sorry.

Sometimes my weak conspiratorial mind begins to wander...

[Rex]

23. Nah no need to be sorry...I wondered the same thing for a bit.

It is good to think about all possible outcomes...even the remote ones; some people can only think about ONE event happening so be thankful you are not in their binary world.

[LordGlenconner]

17. If by connected you mean

Humanity is a virus in tennis shoes, then yes, they are connected.

19. you might as well add the missing girls from nigeria, the attack in afghanistan , ISIS in Iraq, ,

[kentuck]

20. Maybe only....

Isis in Iraq?

[PowerToThePeople]

21. My phone just rang but nobody was at the other end!

Oh Noes!!!!111!!!

[SidDithers]

24. The call was coming from inside the house! INSIDE THE HOUSE!!...nt

25. In a vauge sense, yes.

Growing inequality around the world, growing populations, diminishing resources, coupled with corruption in governments the world over, the internet consistently exposing greed and corruption, causing people to get angry on a constant basis.

[GeorgeGist]

26. only in time

[Louisiana1976]

27. I doubt it.

[WillyT]

28. Yes kentuck... They Are Connected... In One Sense...

By ancient blood-feuds... driven by out-dated superstitions, ignorance, and grinding poverty.

And... as the Prince says at the end of Romeo and Juliet:

"All are punished... ALL are punished!"

[bigwillq]

29. Yes. All a plot to waste more money

while our country goes down the tubes.
