In addition, Kushner was awarded "permanent security clearance" about the time you posted this. He's a big player on the ME front. Something big definitely happened. Don't know exactly what yet. ?
Frannie, thats great.....fits well with what I am getting. it is weird, there is a strange kind of silence that has appeared. Its as if the whole war machine has been put in neutral.
Something is definitely happening. Frannie, i think you are right.
If the Iranians have made an offer, to the Europeans, that does not get them out of the boiling pot and safe from Israel and the Americans. Sowe will have to wait and see what is happening, re the Iranians. But this whole crisis has hugely damaged the Europe-America alliance. The EU and NATO members will be very wary now. Trump is effectively on his own, on this one. But I think it is a pause, before the storm....
RE IRAN AND ISREAL
Yes more strange events in the Middle East.
It has all gone ominously silent, regarding the Isreali preparations for a potential war against Iran.
There are two things happening. Firstly, the Isreali leadership is locked in internal dispute, about what to do. There is a feeling that things got out of hand, and went too far, and that has left the Isreali elite with limited options, and that they are now in a dead end street. They cannot risk going forwards, and they cannot retreat. So they are in stalemate. Putin has had a significant effect on things. Something happened during Netanyahu's recent visit to Moscow. I think Putin gave him some kind of warning or ultimatum. This was with regard to Both Syria, and to Iran. On Syria, he gave Natanyahu a strong set of red lines, that should not be crossed, or they would trigger serious consequences. Likewise, on Iran.
Natanyahu is now trapped, between the Russians and the Americans. He is also being systematically opposed by the Isreal military. They can see clearly, the serious risks. There is also a faction in the Pentagon, in Washington, that are opposed to Isreali military "Adventurism". This situation is at the present not resolvable. It is going to lead to very strong pressures on Netanyahu, who may be forced from office, later this year. In the meantime, I see combat between Saudi and Iran, and would not rule out the possibilities of an Israeli strike later this year, on Iran. What is certain, is that coming out of left field, there is a serious Iran/Saudi confrontation. It relates to the crisis in Yemen, and leads to direct military combat between the two states. This is low level at first but could escalate. I see this later this Summer or early Autumn. The evil brew is still being stirred, in the pot.
I don't see an escalation between Saudi Arabia and Iran, unless they have support from America, which could happen. And in that case, Israel would certainly join in as well. I still see the possibility of a military strike on Iran next week or the week after, but the details of it are very shifty.
Agreed. Verryunstable and undecided situation
Bolton also behind the scenes is being shackled. Pompeo is the favored son right now and he’s preoccupied with Korea. P is a hawk on Iran but ambitious and calculating. He wants to be president. Bolton is pissed. Those two will eventually clash. Bolton will lose.
