The world’s top KOBK player sent a strong signal followed by this qualified threat of much worse to come if warranted. Some are saying it was a weak move and a betrayal of MAGA campaign promises. I don’t think so. This can more accurately be seen as a decisive act that will eventually neuter Iran, while not allowing Israel to become the region’s hegemon (because at the same time Israel has shown its weakness and taken damage as well). My money is still on Trump: 1) because he is all we got; and 2) because he probably is making good moves and probably will succeed in bringing something resembling peace to the area without starting WW3. I still believe and hope Trump is seeking a world with a strong alliance among northern countries, Russia, USA, and Europe being the top three players. In that world, the Middle East will be governed by a coalition of regional states which will focus on prosperity, not terrorism or aggrandizement. ABN
