Lions, Dragons, And Bears, Oh My!

Apologies To The Wizard Of Oz...
Yes, I know the correct words are from the 1939 movie are lions, tigers, and bear, oh my, but I’m not the first person to parody it for my purposes. As I was surveying all the news events from last week and into this week I noticed that the three animals that scared Dorothy were in play prophetically. Yes, all three of the aforementioned animals represent things we should note, although I had to alter the tigers to dragons to make the point. Before I get into the details, let me tell that when I mention lions, I’m referred to Iran as their national animal is a lion. Dragons point to China, who seems to have their hands in the other two nations alluded to, although the bears have a dual meaning of the stock market and Russia. Confused? Not to worry, I created this rabbit trail, and I will navigate it for you.
