I've been following @ThomasWictor on Twitter for the past several months. He seems to have some of the best insights on what is going on the Middle East.

In a nutshell, Wictor's overall conclusion is that President Trump has been backing the U.S. military off and this is allowing the Saudis, the Israelis and the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) to settle affairs in that region. A lot of this is being done "off the radar" as U.S. media continues to focus on nonsense like Russia collusion, Stormy Warren, etc.

A main narrative is that the Iranian mullahs are being slowly taken down by mostly peaceful means. Another is that there are currently some 14 GCC offensives in Yemen that nobody (in the media) are noticing.

At first I was skeptical but Wictor backs it up with tons of video from the region and first-hand sources.

If anybody here is on Twitter, I would give @ThomasWictor a follow. He puts an enormous amount of info out on Twitter.

UPDATE 8:31 PM EDT —
Russian Military is changing all its radio encryption; no longer communicating with US/Coalition or allowing us to hear what they’re doing in Syria. VERY BAD SIGN.

Yes - but the situation is changing daily. Still, as I noted, nothing is confirmed.

gotta love the fact that suddenly the Syrians can’t even identify who’s bombing them when just a few weeks ago they were claiming their russian SAMs knocked out 77 out of 110 allied missiles ...
