My take on the Syria mess.
Trump is a master of leverage. He has been gaining leverage on Putin for a while now and Putin is starting to weary of it.
His oligarch pals are losing $$$ fast and so is he.
I think Putin is ready to throw in the towel and abandon both Assad and the Iranian mullahs.
Putin realizes that he, along with Trump, are despised by the global deep-state.
They are engaged in a Kabuki dance now, look for the Iranian mullahs to be overthrown very soon and this will leave Assad pretty much alone without very aggressive Russian assistance...which will not be forthcoming.
There will be an arranged exchange of missiles and the rhetoric will become pretty wild for a day or two but I think this is all close to being finished.
Trump made two important tweets this morning, both were meant for Putin.
This one is the stick...
“Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and “smart!” You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!”
This one is the carrot...
“Our relationship with Russia is worse now than it has ever been, and that includes the Cold War. There is no reason for this. Russia needs us to help with their economy, something that would be very easy to do, and we need all nations to work together. Stop the arms race?”
You can discern what is going on from just these two tweets...
BTW: IMO, Gulf Cooperation Council special forces are on the ground in disguise as jihadi in both Syria and Iran and are working with Trump...they will take them down from the inside.
I predict Iran will once again become close to the US, as it was before the Iranian revolution....thank you Jimmy Carter, you damned fool!

My concern is that Turkey is a deep-state actor and during the attack might strike Russian forces....
