Naval drama(s) off Arabia (catch all)

[OUTLAW 09]

Russia's recent outreach to Iran and their agreement to sell them weapons may have emboldened them. If that is the case, it will obviously have a significant impact on relations between Iran's new proxy Iraq and Saudi, and Saudi's coalition partners also. All we need now is for Israel and Russia to get involved overtly, we could have another example of a relative small event leading to a larger conflict, much like the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand triggered WWI.

Notice that the Iranian and Russia estimates to the alleged "weakness" of a potential US reaction might in fact be accurate.

I have been saying this is the weakest NSC and President in years.

Putin has already assumed the US will not respond in the Ukraine so why would they engage in Yemen?
