Cycles of war heat up.

Larry Edelson maintains that gold prices are responding to an increase in the cycles of war. Here are the flash points:

1. Israel is poised to invade the Gaza strip. Iron dome is shooting down 90% of rockets from Gaza.

2. Ukraine. Rebels destroy Ukrainian column near Russian border in Luhansk. Ukrainians suffered a total of 23 killed and 90 wounded during last day. Pres Poroshenko promises to exterminate rebels.

3. Iraq. Kurdish forces seize two oil fields. ISIS grabs some low level radioactive stuff and chemical weapons left over from Saddam's "non-existent" stockpile.

4. Japan vs China. Japanese Japanese legislation makes it easier for Japan to arm itself. Japanese plan robot army.
