OBSERVATIONS; PREDICTIONS; HUNCH(S)

In the Middle East, a domino teeters.

Some would say it promises to fall.
Others, it threatens to fall.

The hunch: the b.o. Admin has no clue on what to do [it rhymes].

He opines that it is not the place of one nation to interfere in the affairs of another…that not only should the US not interfere in such affairs, but that it cannot.

You know what????

Bull!!!

Great nations, great powers not only can involve themselves but they are obligated to so involve…and any freshman student of diplomacy knows as much.

b.o. therefore knows it.
b.o. therefore is either truthfully challenged or he is ignorant when he speaketh thusly.

Good grief. I wonder which.

Think, just think of the US assets in the area…..military, naval, economic, diplomatic….

They are not there for fun.

They are there to do a job.
Great powers do not just.....wring their hands when assets are threatened.
If they do , they are no longer great.

Pakistan…a shooting:

A US Embassy official kills and possibly wounds Pakistanis…alleging an attempted robbery.
There are a number of incredible collateral developments.

The mob calls for the death of the American.

A Senator goes on over to calm the waters.

The accused American is former special ops.
Is it usual for US embassies in such parts of the world to employ lethal folks as part of their essentials?

YES!

Why?

Because some folks in those parts of the world are always ready to take out one or more Americans….whenever they can.

I wonder if b.o. understands that……that not only are such folks ready to take down individual Americans, but they are hoping and praying to be able to take down as much of America as they can…as soon as they can.

The Mexican-US border shooting:

An American ICE officer hasjust been killed along the border….just inside the Mexican side….whilst carrying out his duties.
Another is wounded.
So far, no allegation has been made by Mexico of any US wrongdoing.
Nor will it be.
Indeed, this is “…the first time ICE agents working in Mexico have been shot.”

Prediction: such shootings and Mexican criminal crossborder activity will increase in frequency.

b.o. will have to augment border security, whether he wants to or not.

The Mexican criminals will attack the US security forces.

The US will have to cross the border to restore border security.

Friend of ours say I am nuts.

I say just watch.

Mexico is losing control of parts of the frontier.

Some force will have to restore order.

That force is the US.

Just watch.
