One of them will be kill a lot of Russians and turn Syria into another Chechnya. The risk of a regional war is real. We can be the US/NATO war planners are working full time. Making an empire look foolish in front of its vassal states is a dangerous move indeed.
Yes, I agree. US planners will be looking at ways to hurt Russia. One key strategy might be to provide the latest shoulder fired AA missiles and other goodies to attack Russian aircraft - as they did with Stingers in Afghanistan. Of course, the problem with this is that Russia has advanced AA missiles too, and all they need do is provide them to the Syrian Army to use against US and "coalition" aircraft. It's a very dangerous situation.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
