How many more weeks will this last?
How many on line betting sites have the line set at seven?

LW, I suspect you are being rather optimistic.
  • If logic prevailed, the SMO would not have started.
  • Ms Leavitt states 'courtesy, respect to congress... blah blah, 4-6 weeks". That would lower the odds of any cessation of whatever this is that is being done before the Lucky Seven number.
  • If this is a means to suspend the US Constitution come on 3rd November, 2026... then Seven doesn't fit.
  • If Russia has a voice, then they would be happy to tie up ol' glory for about the next 4 years, a fitting response to Vlad's 3-day extravaganza.
  • Saudi Arabia's Capt Slice n' dice seems to prefer the option of spilling American blood on Iranian soil, a win for Saudi. Of course, The House of Saud has its share of issues, that have not ameliorated since the mid 80's.
  • Israel will not be happy with the US of A walking out of team Israel.
Israel has reasonable fears, their actions are not reducing those, but darn they make for great "Vote Bibi for King" arguments. Seems the 7 Tribes need some fireside intervention to bring them all back into harmony. There have been times when there was harmony, once upon a time, long long ago. A constant state of war assists Bibi with his political and legal tribulations, which seems to be lamentable to the recently and soon to be dearly departed victims of this curious individual. My dealings with Isreali's firmed up an opinion that almost all Israeli's would ague eloquently in the Knesset as a PM of the country, and that makes one wonder why Bibi is considered as the best of the best of the best for Isreal. Presumably a number of residents of Gaza, West Bank and Iran would have views on that.

According to the latest revelations in the USFC, related to Mr Smiths going to DC as a special prosecutor, seems that the "man who never was" strategy of sending maskirovka doesn't take much effort nowadays. We live in strange times.

As much as I admire the USMC, I suspect that they would be squandered on a foreign shore if placed into harms way. Would think that sending in the Secretary of War, armed with an M1911 and his boyish enthusiasm, all by himself would be fitting.

When Mr Graham coaches Bibi how to get Mr T to go to war against Iran, you may have issues at various levels, but at least, y'all have J. Kushner and Mr S. Witcoff pushing this wheelbarrow over the cliff. I do think that the opportunity for a run on popcorn exists, as gunboat diplomacy doesn't do well in our new strategic world of asymmetric warfare being a reality, where a few thousand drones Trump-ing a couple of flat tops.
