You also forgot nasty tensions brewing in Asia with China asserting itself and claiming the South China Sea as it's personal ocean, and Japan taking a more proactive role in defense. A state of near anarchy/civil war in Libya. Afghanistan is still roiling alongside Pakistan. The Nationalists are now in control of India. An unprecedented Ebola outbreak in West Africa, etc.

So yeah, perhaps slowly, yet surely. Funny how fiction on occasion can start mirroring real life, no? Might be time to finally start investing in a really deep fallout shelter with lots of provisions, food, water and lots of weapons. Anyone interested? I will happily pay you Tuesday for a loan today, according to my sig of course...
