"Strange Bedfellow, thank you for your kind words." ~ SocratesDetroit (SD)
You never have to thank me for my kind words, unless you insist, or it is specifically requested.
I like to think of this avenue as bit of a livingroom chat, rather than an awards ceremony, where I then walk up with my entourage and you hand me my Oscar, amid audience applause, shaking hands, hugs and kisses.
"Short-term, post-Assad Syria is a win for Turkey, a win for Israel, a loss for Iran. It is also a loss for many Syrian people, especially the Christians. It will rhyme with the chaos in Iraq following the demise of Saddam Hussein." ~ SD
We already know that, more or less. I want your take, ideally one that might have a few curve balls that go outside the plate and hit the catcher, or Pepe Escobar, in the shoulder, assuming you're not Pepe...
Anyway, I'll read your Substack later and won't mind if you get in there after and do some more editions. Just let us know.
"Writing well and cogently is not easy, especially on a topic with so many angles and variables as the Middle East." ~ SD
That's what the edit button (and your Substack, etc.) is for. (I use the former liberally.) Maybe even a drink.
Presumably, you'll include Russia and its relationship with Iran, as well as China's, India's, BRICS+, the Petrodollar, the EU, Yemen and the rest of the ME's and NA's interests in the area too.
If any extraterrestrials happen upon there at the last minute, we can cross that bridge when it comes to us.
Only AI will be able to save us then, if not sooner.
