7. Saudi in charge? Iran is running things now that Russia

controls the WH. Saudi Arabia is in political disarray---with bombers flying overhead and rumors of brother killing brother all over the news---- because that is what Tehran wants.

I am frankly baffled that the U.S. allies of Saudi Arabia and Israel are not doing more to stop the Iran-Russian take over of the Middle East. The Saudis and the Israelis have some very powerful friends in this country. Maybe they are hoping that Mueller will take out the trash and they won't have to show their hands.

I think China will determine the winner of the latest round of Middle East Three Dimensional Chess. What does China want more? A steady supply of Russian oil or an affluent U.S. middle class able to purchase its exports?
