Alliances Made; Broken; All Without Honor

Referencing 2017 comes from the closing line in the ealreir observation you made about the current American Administrative Chief Executive's hope that all of the impending activities surrounding the fire ring around the fertile Crescent does not happen until after, presuming here, the 2016 election cycle and the following inaguration. Again, maybe presuming too much, since we are told the Candidate thinks he would make a good third term officiate, the Constitution notwithstanding.

We could engage in such speculation were it not for the circumstances that the potential implosion that would send the northern alliance south is the greater speculation. With the Iranian Revolutionary Regime now in the perfect position to dictate its ultimate terms in the region, one cannot help but wonder how much is really prepared for their next move, to back the 'Palestinain' postion of overtaking Israel.

The Turkish-NATO-US position in that is only limited by what 'back door' arrangements are really brokered from the Kerry Geneva concession document and the implied loss of an American veto to the 'Palestinian' petition to the United Nations. The Russian-Iranian connection is a given, according to teh Candidate's earlier thanks to teh Russians for their help in the brokered Geneva deal.
