Loading ...Putin invites Netanyahu to Victory March on anniversary of Nazi German defeat
President Vladimir Putin has invited Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu as his guest of honor at the Victory Day march Wednesday, on the anniversary of Nazi Germany’s defeat. They will sit down for talks at the Kremlin later. Military sources note that this annual event traditionally parades the Russian army’s prowess. Putin’s invitation to Netanyahu is of pivotal significance in a hectic period. They meet three days before the May 12 deadline for President Donald Trump to re-certify or back out of the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran and five days before the May 14 dedication of the newly-relocated US embassy in Jerusalem.

The government that is on life support is housed in Tehran. You don;t see much from that country because foreign journalists are not allowed outside of Tehran, but the facts are that the country is one straw away from its fourth revolution in the last hundred years. There are public protests against the government in all major Iranian cities, the oil workers are on a nationwide strike, the people are upset about an economy in shambles, and the new sanctions are going to put even more heat on the towelheads in charge. The military will not stand for much more, and as they have done in the past will side with the Iranian people before taking orders to kill from a bunch of old theocratic lunatics in their 70s and 80s.

Furthermore, there will be a Russian Jew in charge of Israel at some point during the next 25 years, and the young new King in Riyadh apparently seems more willing to work with Israel than to fight them. The Russian government wants to be part of the ruling equation in the Middle East so as to have a say in what price their oil sells for, and the nationalism that always has been a part of Russian politics will be hard pressed not to ally with a Russian leading Israel.

So the more likely scenario going forward is a revolution that replaces theocracy in Iran with democracy, and a Middle East ruled by the triumvirate of the Saudis, the Israelis and the Russians. Its a time of great change in that region, and the old calculus is about to change in surprising ways. The Americans finally will have a way to extricate themselves from that hornet’s nest, no longer being bound to defend the region’s only democracy. Whoever opposes the coming changes will be rolled over, because they won;t have the money or the weaponry to oppose the new ruling class.
That’s how I see it, and it explains why Russia is sitting back and letting Iran and Syria fight their own battles now in Syria. The world is going to look a lot different in 25 years, you’ll even be buying goods that have stickers that say “Made in North Korea”.
