NO PROGRESS????? NO KIDDING!!!!

As much as Putin would love to be the hero of the hour at the next round of talks in Moscow, it seems the Iranians didn't get the message.

With a statement like, " No Progress", coming from the IAEA's chief inspector, the stage may be set for the Moscow talks in ten days.

What will be interesting is Putins' reaction to this announcement.

I have to wonder if he has made a phone call to Tehran reemphasizing his desires for the next round of talks.

Iran needs Russia and needs them desperately.

Russia needs to show the world they can solve worldly issues such as Iran's nuclear program and Syria and a headstrong Iran will not go over well with the Tsar!

The Iranians know the US wants nothing but smooth water between now and November, but after that, all bets  are off.

Iran must juggle the nuclear issue with the crisis in Syria without letting ether issue come to conflict, unless it's a conflict Iran wants!

Somewhere in this mess is Lebanon and the Lebanese Hezbollah teams we all know are out there right now plotting to attack and probably soon.

When it comes to the Middle East, no issue is a standalone event right now.

As much as Putin and the Iranians would love to talk about what great breakthrough the talks in Moscow are going to be, and trust me, that is what they will both say, the fact of the matter is, nothing is going to change.

The US leadership wants any and all issues to hold off until after November.

Somebody better get that message to the Lebanese Hezbollah!

We are one mass casualty, Israeli causality, event away from conflict.

Israel knows they are being pushed to respond, but it's leadership will not stand for a media event that covers a large loss of innocent lives.

The "Moscow Show" is only ten days away!!!

The headlines are already written in Tehran and Moscow...

I really hope nobody is foolish enough to believe this event will lead to anything.
