• Back from vacation, the once again penniless citizens of Spain, Greece, and Portugal have resumed protesting austerity

• US embassies attacked, in many cases with numerous casualties, in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco, Sudan, Lebanon, India, Balgadesh, Indonesia, and others.

• Japan "appropriating" China-contested islands provoking a firestorm of retaliation including demands for "war with Japan"

• Netanyahu telling Meet the Press Iran will have a nuke in six-seven months and must be stopped beforehand

• Warships from more than 25 countries, including the United States, Britain, France, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, launching a military exercise in the Straits of Hormuz

• A third US aircraft - the CVN-74 Stennis - carrier is en route to Iran with an ETA of about 10 days
