I didn't say I had decided that Trump Intended these outcomes, I said it was barely possible.
As we get more desirable outcomes it becomes more likely that Trump is causing them on purpose but it will take a lot more for me to commit to believing that however.
Time will tell.

Guaranteed they would/will be the result of opportunism rather than ingenuity, design or principle.

I'm not as committed to a given view of Trump as you seem to be but I certainly see your opinion as a reasonable possibility.

Time will tell just how good or bad Trump is, I just hope we get lots of good outcomes whatever the cause.

Beijing complicates Washington’s Afghan strategy
http://www.atimes.com/article/beijing-complicates-washingtons-afghan-strategy/

Beijing has staked its prestige on fostering amity between Afghanistan and Pakistan, a daunting challenge that Western powers have failed to cope with. But by introducing the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) into the matrix, Beijing hopes to make Afghans and Pakistanis stakeholders in regional projects and thereby generate traction to its peace initiative.

The “integration” of Central Asia with South Asia has been a geopolitical objective for the US for eroding Russia’s regional dominance. “Punish Russia, forgive China” fits in with the Donald Trump administration’s tactical ploy to break up the Sino-Russian entente. Mainstream American analysts are fond of claiming that the US and China have convergent interests in Central Asia.

This is a “win-win” for China. If the US wins the war in Afghanistan, China also can claim peace dividends. On the contrary, if the US loses to the Taliban, the BRI still provides a platform for China to build bridges to the new elite in Kabul. As for Washington, although it acquiesces with Afghanistan’s induction into the BRI matrix, sleepless nights lie ahead.

(The breakdown of US/Pak relations has got to be making India nervous.)

UN Security Council to hold emergency meeting on Iran
https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/breaking-un-security-council-hold-emergency-meeting-iran/

Nikki Haley has said that Friday’s emergency meeting on Iran protests would try to prevent Syria atrocities from repeating in Iran, in a statement by the US mission.

“Tomorrow the UN Security Council will discuss the troubling and dangerous situation in Iran. The world has witnessed the horrors that have taken place in Syria… We must not let that happen in Iran,” Haley said.

Haley argued in the statement that what Washington sees as a crackdown on protesters was a matter of “international peace and security.”
She said it would be telling if any country were to oppose the UN having this discussion.

US State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert warned earlier on Thursday that Washington had ample means to hold those responsible for the violent crackdown on protesters in Iran accountable.

Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told Sputnik the US call for an urgent UN meeting on Iran’s domestic affairs was “harmful and destructive.”
He argued that it was not UN’s role as a watchdog of international peace to discuss Iran’s domestic issues.




It must be comforting to know that ISIS is on 'our' side. hahaha

It’s very unusual for a jihadist group like IS to publicly indicate support for Shia, but these groups are hopeful that #IranProtests will bring down the country’s religious establishment, or at least undermine it

Jihadists had been eagerly watching events in #Iran, some even suggesting media tactics (related to Iran’s role in Syria) that they said might fuel #IranProtests, pinning much hope on anti-wilayat al-faqih slogans.

Jihadists hoped #IranProtests would distract Tehran away from Syria and weaken its influence in the region.

In an official telephone conversation on Thursday, Iranian defence minister Brigadier General Ali Hatami and his Pakistani colleague Khurram Dastgir-Khan both hailed the recent increase in defence cooperation between both nations, as well as condemned the words and actions of the United States of America in the Middle East.

“The Americans always blame others for their own failures in different parts of the world and follow the strategy of the Zionist regime (Israel) to destabilize the region,” Hatami said, stressing that as two major regional powers, Iran and Pakistan should increase their mutual cooperation with one another.

Hatami further stated that “evil and stupid policies of the US” are the cause of a deteriorating situation in neighbouring Afghanistan, as well as the deaths of countless of Afghans, Iraqis, Syrians and Yemenis.

Pakistan defence minister Dastgir-Khan joined Hatami in supporting continued military ties with Tehran, and condemned the latest series of tweets in which US president Trump verbally attacked the nation of Pakistan.

Recording of Netanyahu son’s gas deal remarks leaked amid corruption scandal
https://www.almasdarnews.com/articl...-deal-remarks-leaked-amid-corruption-scandal/

1060610314-696x377.jpg


An Israeli news network has released the audio track of the alleged conversation
between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s son and his friend outside a strip club,
in which the young man drunkenly touts his father promoting a hefty gas deal in 2015.

The Channel 2 News’ audio leak features what the television channel says
are the voices of the Israeli Prime Minister’s son Yair Netanyahu and Ori Maimon, the son of an Israeli gas tycoon.

While apparently inebriated, 26-year-old Yair is heard bragging outside a strip club
about his father advancing a hefty gas deal in parliament so that gas tycoon Kobi Maimon could benefit from it.

“Bro, you got to spot me. My dad made an awesome deal for your dad, bro, he fought, fought in the Knesset for this, bro.
Bro, my dad now arranged for you a $20bn deal and you can’t spot me 400 shekels?,” Yair said. :D

The conversation apparently dates back to 2015, when Israel was embroiled in a political scandal
over “newly discovered natural gas deposits and the rights to drill in them,” according to The Guardian.

Additionally, Netanyahu may be accused of alleged involvement in a multimillion dollar submarine deal with German shipbuilder ThyssenKrupp.
He vehemently denies any wrongdoing, saying that he is the victim of a smear campaign created by his political opponents.

In late December, thousands of people protested in the streets in Tel Aviv to demand Netanyahu’s resignation over alleged corruption.
It continues.
