Each global war begins with a spark, emphasizes the American printing illustrated edition and a list of the five " fires ", to which the world should pay attention.

The first the magazine has called the Syrian conflict. The spread of "Islamic countries" (IG) a concern of most of leading world famous powers, including France, the Russian Federation and the United States. But even with the advent of the coalition, uniting those States, between teammates have the opportunity to cause a collision because of different views on the future of Syria. For its part, active hostilities between foreign powers in the Syrian Arab Republic have the opportunity to get Turkey, Iran and Saudi Arabia and maybe spreading to other parts of the globe.

Another one of these "centers" - the conflict between India and Pakistan, which, though existed for many years, at any time have the opportunity to escalate. If Pakistan-sponsored radical groups will do something similar to the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, tolerance India can burst.

on the third place NI puts the situation in the East China sea, where in the last 2 years, China and Japan play a dangerous game over the Senkaku archipelago. Both States complain of Islands, and Each has deployed armed forces in their neighborhoods. If the conflict between China and Japan breaks out, the United States, which are connected with the latter by a Treaty of mutual protection, will be hard to defend against interference, While China will try to play proactive, attacking American military targets in the area.
