The CIA, like Nostradamus, most often uses “open source intelligence” to understand and make predictions about what will happen around the world. Mine on the Levant:
Palestinians will again rise up in at least a mini-Intifada, thanks to the Israeli military action in Gaza.
Israel will possibly invade southern Lebanon again; though, given recent experience, it’s more likely they’ll simply continue to launch airstrikes.
Israel may use Syria’s support for Hamas & Friends as an excuse to launch an airstrike against military or political targets there.
100% chance that yours truly will continue to be sickened by the violence.
