Waiting for Godot

It seems to me that people are waiting for the unpredictable Trump to see what he will do and the globalists are trying to tie his hands and do as much damage as possible before he arrives and are prepared for even a limited nuclear war. So there is a bit of pause in Russian activity in Ukraine despite provocations.

Scott Ritter’s assessment of Syria, Iran and others

Fairly strong assertions, may be plausible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYxgjymiOD8 But Larry Johnson has a somewhat different assessment "Turning to the situation in Syria. With each passing day I’m more convinced that Putin had good intel on the Western plan to take out Assad and, based on intel provided in part from China, correctly assessed that in light of Assad’s refusal to listen to Russian and Iranian advice that Turkey and the West were going to create for themselves a shit sandwich. Neither was prepared to deal with the consequences of a rapid collapse of Syria. I believe that Putin correctly calculated that the West and Turkey were creating a level of chaos in Syria it could neither control nor contain. While Russia could have intervened militarily and defeated HTS and its Turkish/Western backers, Putin and his advisors believed this would ultimately turn out to be a nightmare for Turkey and the West, and Russia was happy to let them eat it." from https://sonar21.com/ukraine-and-syria-a-western-plan-goes-awry/ Anda different perspetive from Colonel Macgregor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItRBk6Q_RBc
