Geopolitical News Wakes Up After Holiday

After months of relative calm on the Geopolitical front, geo’s decided to come out with a bang over the last 24 hours as follows:

• US Scrambles After Reports Of Bombs On Cargo Planes  Story
• North and South Korea Exchange Gun Fire Over Border For First Time Since 2006 Story
• French Warship Joins US Fleet In Persian Gulf – Unprecedented Build Up.
• China Says Talks With Japan Have Been Ruined Story.

It’s not all bad.  On a great note, Iran has agreed to resume nuclear talks…. Wonder how much of this had to do with the unprecedented Persian Gulf build up of Warships?

Regards,
George
