o.k. thanks. I didn't know you were referring to MBS as MB.
No, Syria is almost a stalemate now but Russia may be considering that enough has been accomplished already and we're seeing it as good as it's going to get. I think it's an indicator of the same sort of stalemate happening with Iran. The Jew's apartheid state is not going to attack Iran because there's too much chance of it going nuclear. By that I mean that the conventional attack on Israel by Iran would be so devastating that Israel would have no choice, and neither would the US of course once it's started. The MAD factor looks after that problem for us.
Israel wouldn't be able to stand an Iranian attack and I believe that Israel knows very well that any large scale attack on it's territory by the US is going to result in an allout attack by Iran on Israel. The positive note on all this is that it's unthinkable. Knowing full well that the Trump/Bolton factor is the wild card. But also knowing that Trump will be handcuffed by greater powers before he's allowed to do something that stupid.
That's my quick analysis. Any further ideas of your own?
I sure hope you are right, Monty.
Unfortunately, we may all be underestimating Trump's degree of stupid!
As for Bolton...he is evil waiting to be unleashed. It may be just me...but even during the Dubya administration, I don't ever remember John Bolton and Dick Cheney being in the same room at the same time together!
