RUSSIA / CHINA/ IRAN/ UKRAINE… YEP… SNAPSHOT TIME!

Well, I’ve been off the net for about a week, but I’m back now and I’m going to go hard at if for several days to get caught back up.

Yep, when this happens to me, I fall back on knocking out a “Snapshot” to get caught back up.

So; here we go.

RUSSIA / CHINA GAS DEAL:

Was this really new news last week?

No.

Does it mean more now than when the process started ten years ago?

Yes.

Did the Tsar have this day in mind when he started the negotiations ten years ago with the Dragon?

Yes.

How could he possibly plotted his move on Eastern Europe, something he has been doing for nearly twenty years, without insure the lifeblood of the Russian Empire, fuel, was not secured.

Does this “deal”, and there is a reason I put deal in quotes, fall right into the plans of the Tsar and just the time he needed it to?

Yes.

Does the Dragon have any intention of allowing the Bear to hold the same advantage over them as it did with the Progressive, naive Europeans?

Nope!!!!

The one fatal flaw the Tsar may have made in his master plan to bring the Russian Empire back to it’s glory may have been to underestimate the Dragon people; but then again I would not place too large a bet on that assumption.

Does the Tsar understand where his real threat comes from?

Yes.

Was this gas “deal” intended to last 30 years?

No.

It’s intent was and still is to insure Western sanctions will not derail the Tsar’s master plan.

The Dragon and the Bear are in the early stages of a power struggle that will last for decades to come as the West sits on the sidelines worried some Muslim Fundamentalist may show up with a car bomb!

IRAN:

Let me keep this as simple as I can for the simple reason this is far from a simple topic.

Is Iran in the midst of a internal philosophical struggle?

I now believe they are.

If you’ve been reading my post, you know my fascination with the badmouthing of the Hassan Rouhani by the hardliners and now the somewhat defensive posture of some of the key military leaders who appear to be supporting him.

Is the West still drunk on striking a deal with Iran over it’s nuclear program?

Yes.

Is the West willing to let Iran and the Tsar have their way on Syria for the sake of pacifying the Persians?

It appears so.

Are the members of the GCC moving forward with the concept of defending themselves from the Persian surge that is hidden behind the religion of Shea beliefs?

Yes.

Can this internal struggle in Iran lead to something the West could exploit in the near future?

Yes; but only if the West knew how or had the will to do so and I think we all know the answer to that question.

Now, most importantly!

Are the Israelis willing to stake the future on their nation on the political leadership  of the West?

No.

When it finally comes down to the zero hour, the IDF will do what it must to insure the future of Israel.

Oh, by the way.

If you don’t believe they will have partners from the GCC in that endeavor, you are fooling yourself.

As it is in Syria and Egypt, the future of Iran doesn't rest with the West.

The Star of David symbol on military hardware will decide the future of the Persian people.

If the youth of Iran understands this, and the nationalistic pride is weighed against nationalistic suicide, then the powers that control Tehran may still see what they have feared since 2009….The Persian …. Arab Spring.

Again, the West may hope to have a final vote, but in the end, once again it may watch matters unfold.

THE UKRAINE:

Elections this weekend…yes… we know that.

An important event?

Yes, to some extent.

As hard as it may be as we watch the events in the Ukraine, we cannot forget the issue is far larger than that.

Is the Tsar going to stomp his way into the Ukraine? 

I said this over a month ago, but I will say it again.

Why should the Tsar use his troops to kill Ukrainian civilians as the world watches on?

Let the Ukrainians kill Ukrainians and let the land slip into madness; that’s the Tsar’s plan and it has been all along.

Pay particular attention to the increasing number of “militias” pro Russian Militias popping up not just in Eastern Ukraine, but all over the country.

This is the fighting force the Tsar will utilize, not Russian regulars!

It’s been over two months since I made this comment, but do not forget the Ukraine is but a single move in a much larger game the Tsar has begun.

Time is on his side and he knows it.

Soon the US will be knee deep in a very emotional and most likely election cycle and that means going dormant for a few months is just part of the plan.

Well, there your have it.

A week off and a small details stacked up to a level that is simply too complicated to track.

The good news is, the large moving pieces, the important issue, have not deviated.

The Bear and the Dragon jockey for a new… “New World Order” and the West….well…..as I've said twice in this post…..the West is simply watching from the sidelines……wait… was that an Arab Male that just walked by??? Quick..call DHS…

Dumbfounded and distracted... .a new National Seal!
