Have just had a quick preliminary scan on the situation in Syria. Trump has made threats regarding the recent gas attack in Damascus. He may back down, but if he goes ahead with a punitive attack, then it will not go well for him. He will, if this happens, use mostly airstrikes, missiles, and precision attacks. it will initally succeed, and may even bring the regime to the edge of defeat. But the regime survives, in some form, and it is then all downhill. The Russians intervene, the Israeli's deliberately make the situation much worse, as part of their long term intentions in the area, and it escalates. This leads an eventual defeat, and may be the precursor trigger for the wider middle east war that is now in some serious danger of emerging. We shall know, within a week, or two. If the airstrikes go ahead, there will be trouble.
and to add to this Cohen's office has just been raided by the FBI and emails between Cohen and Trump have been seized. Someone posted that we are now going to learn about the crime-fraud exception when it comes to attorney-client privilege. this is exactly what Trump needs to set him off and start a war
The Washington Post is quite convinced that some sort of air strikes are inevitable. But, most likely these will be 'symbollic' ones that don't actually impact/punish the Syrian government. Last year, when Trump did similar strikes, Russia turned a blind eye to them. I think Trump will try for more of the same - Russia is one of his few remaining allies and he won't want to rock the boat.
If this is the case, would the status quo continue - With things tense, but not quite on the verge of a full-fledged Middle East war?
FROM ZORON:
Did a stage two scan last night, deepening the analysis. Used divination and meditation.
Some sort of strike now seems inevitable, but I am getting 50/50 choice on what kind, from a punitive strike, to something more severe, that is actually what strategists call a "Decapitating strike"....a literal "Coup De Etate" from the skies. In this they go for a heavy concentrated strike, on the core government and military, taking out the military, and the political leadership, at high level. It will not work, except partially, but it will fail to remove the Government, portions of which will ride it out, and continue. The Pentagon and State Department analysts will warn of the dangers, of such an approach. But ultimately it all depends on the Mad Emperor in the white palace. He decides. he is thinking, as we speak.
There are now only a handful of adults in the White House. The "Junta" of the three, highly experienced retired Generals who effectively run things, behind the show facade, will do their utmost to persuade things in the less dangerous direction. I get that they are taking phone calls from other retired generals, who are taking phone calls, from active service Generals, who will actually have to carry the casualty burden, and the harsh realities of such a limited war. In general, the trade union of Generals is at work behind the scenes. Trump, who dodged the Draft at the time of Vietnam, while his classmates went and got killed, is the man with the final decision. At the moment, it is all balanced finely. The next week will see the decision made, in detail. As I said, it is NOT decided yet. I am just giving the actual issues, as they are now. Such a glimpse behind the scenes, is useful. I think the American Public has a right to know what is going on.
This will lead us to one thing: will this lead to use of nuclear weapons? I must hope that this war will not be catastrophic.
I think we're going in hard in the next couple of days. I don't see nuclear confrontation here. These are still opening salvos, but not to be taken lightly. We're not just going for an empty air strip this time. This is tied to the trip both of the junior Trumps took to UAE this weekend for a wedding in Dubai. A decision (ultimatum) was made shortly after Kushner got funding for his 666 property. Hold on kids. Bumpy ride ahead, but I don't see world destruction. This is just the starting round. Lots of exit points before things get completely out of control over this. And yes, visualising cooler heads in the White House is imperative! Even seeing Trump's head encased in a snowball might help. Can you see the steam rising up as he cools down? Love and cool breathing to all.
As gracesinger says, may the highest part of me touch the highest part of Donald trump and all involved in this crisis. May angels surround him and penetrate his wounds with healing light so that he allows his heart to rule his final actions.
May the American people and the Congress and the military be touched and surrounded with healing light that no one will be harmed.
