As if Things Weren't Bad Enough, Russian Professor Predicts End of U.S. - WSJ:

When I first read this article, I thought it was preposterous. Now... not so much.  What's worse is that I am not even sure anymore that  it would bother me much, as long as I ended up in the Republic of Texas.

Great Power Realignment - Toward Russia - Jewish Policy Center

If you want to be really confused, read this piece from the Gatestone Institute...

If you pulled the Iranians out of the mix, this would be easy -- support the Kurds/Assad/Russians, and screw Turkey/ISIS and the Sunnis. But with the quasi-nuclear, theocratic Iranians deep in the mix, that just doesn't work for anyone -- not even Donald Trump.

Will Russian Victories in Syria Spark a Regional War? - WSJ

Will Russian Victories in Syria Spark a Regional War? - WSJ: "While the Obama administration has long been determined to minimize U.S. involvement there, for Turkey and Saudi Arabia the prospect of Syria falling under the sway of Russia and Iran would be a national-security catastrophe.

“The whole situation, not just for Turkey but for the entire Middle East, would be reshaped. The Western influence will fade away. The question is: Can we accept Russia, and the Iranians, calling the tune in the region?” said Umit Pamir, a former Turkish ambassador to NATO and the United Nations."

U.S. Air Force Arsenal Plane Could Help Outgun China | War Is Boring:

Where Providing Water Is a Crime | Evelyn Gordon

Where Providing Water Is a Crime | Evelyn Gordon: "[A]s long as many Palestinians view ostracizing Israel as higher priority than providing their own people with basic necessities such as electricity and running water, the West’s dream of a Palestinian state will remain a pipe dream. You can’t build a state for people who would rather tear down the neighboring one than build up their own."
