Could be true. I don’t know for certain. Likely Russia would like to have the MEast conflicts over too, and still keep Assad and it’s access to Syrian port.

GEO political issue is oil/gas to Europe. Will it be from Russia, or pipeline through Syria/Turkey from some other source?

If USA gives up on Assad & pipeline, Russia helps with Iran?
Not my area of expertise. So I don’t know for sure.

Doable because of Trump's energy policy

Exports of coal, oil and LNG to Asia and Europe.

That's been my theory, GE. I said that's the deal The Donald made with Pooty Poot to get him to stand down for the strikes. I still have faith in it and am glad somebody else see it. Let's hope it real and still in effect. It will allow the USA/Israel/Saudi/Regional coalition to take care of Iran while they are isolated.

Iran's only friends left seem to be, oddly, The EU and England. Funny world we live in nowadays, eh?
