Venezuela announces end of all oil shipments to US.
Syria surprise-invades Golan Heights, installs missiles that can hit Tel Aviv.
Terrorists detonate small dirty bomb same day in Rome and London. Via audio tape to al Jazeera, an announcement is made that locations in NYC, DC, LA and in a surprise move, Billings Montana, are scheduled for next week.
China intercepts a US spy plane near its territory and holds its crew without negotiations.
A smaller country bombs the US Embassy to smithereens.
