What amazes me is the number of lib friends I have who actually believe that our pull-out in Iraq, the Arab Spring, Libya et al represent significant FP success.
Yep....Too few understand the why of US presence on the Internatioal Stage...especially in the Middle EAst....Our footprint there has been the only thing keeping the entire Middle East from blowing each other up with all the dynamics among them for power.
The most any can do now is stall this trajectory.....it's just not possible to stop it now.
Indeed....I have an idea that Russia is the quiet partner who is intiating all this...Iran and others have determined with Russia tit-for tat....somehow they'll agree to attach Israel for what each will stand to gain by doing so in what ever dibolical agreement they forge among themselves. But I have no doubt with this Russia is playing them BIGTIME...and will turn on them once they advance their plans.
