The administration of the Kurdish-controlled areas of northeastern Syria declared a state of emergency on Wednesday amid "threats" of a Turkish military operation.

*Background: "Due to the threats that are facing North and East Syria by the Turkish occupation state, we are declaring a state of public emergency," the statement said. The Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria added that it will use all its capabilities to "protect the people from any aggressive attack" and that "a priority to confront these threats should be given."

*Why it matters: Earlier this month Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced Turkey's will to "create a safe zone" along the country's borders with Syria, saying that he is "clearing the area from terrorists."

Oh you thought it was over?  Not hardly!  Global chaos is here.  The knock on effects of this thing are just getting started. I didn't expect it to pop off so soon but here we are.

If you think its bad now wait till winter time in the north and summer in the south.  That's when everything will get real sporting!
