Al Saud Wei.

Between September 28th (28/9/15) and October 3rd (3/10/15) the annual high-level opening of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) took place. It was largely dominated by the start of Russian military operations against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and associated groups in Syria.

However proceedings began with a massive show of force by Saudi Arabia. Firstly they triggered widespread unrest in Bangui - the capital of the Central African Republic (CAR) - which forced the President of the CAR to leave the UNGA early.

To highlight the CAR's importance as a resource rich region Saudi Arabia followed this up triggering the capture of the resource rich Kunduz province of Afghanistan by the Taliban.

Finally they conducted an air-strike against a wedding in Yemen killing 30 civilians to highlight the fact that no-one at the UNGA would dare to stop Saudi Arabia and the Kingdom was free to do as it wished.

China responded to this with a wave of large letter bombs across Guangxi province. Over the course of three days 17 bombs destroyed several residential buildings along with a prison, a railway station a hospital and a shopping mall killing 10 people and wounding 50 in the process.

On the Thursday (1/10/15) Chinese authorities revealed that the bombings had all been the work of one man - Wei Yinyong - who was killed in one of the blasts.

Mr Wei was apparently angry at local authorities and local residents who had denied him permission to set up a company to mine the type of natural resources you find in places like the CAR and Kunduz.

"Wei" of course is pronounced almost identically to the English word "Way." As such the Chinese bombings were intended to highlight to the US what Saudi Arabia is trying to achieve through its waves of Islamist terror. It also puts Mr Wei in the hall of fame of terrorist alongside Glasgow bin Lorry.

Unfortunately it was already proving to be a stressful week for the US and this Chinese intervention seemed to tip them over the edge.

In an effort to enquire what the Chinese were talking about and then to confuse them the US launched into a frenzy of explosions. The highlights were two explosions at chemical processing plants which were references to the issues raised in the Tianjin explosion.

However there were also explosions at an apartment block in Miami and one in Brooklyn, NYC that seemed to borrow heavily from the plot of an episode of the US TV Show "NCIS" entitled "Aliyah." Taking it's name from the Jewish religious practice of returning to Israel the episode explored the links and between rivalries between US and Israeli intelligence.

To make matters worse the UK has been keen to portray itself as the protector of the UK Commonwealth nations that lie between the CAR and Yemen. Chinese premier Xi Jinping will be making a state visit to the UK next week.

As such the UK joined in with a frenzy of explosions of its own all intended to work out what the US and China were thinking and what they were saying to each other.

Anyway the long and the short of it is that yesterday (15/10/15) US President Barack Obama announced that he will be reversing his decision to withdraw US troops from Afghanistan by 2016.

As a result he will be allowed to continue using his largely ceremonial title for another day at least.
