The bear wants a strong position in the Mediterranean sea. This has nothing to do with anything else. Syria is too far it needs and wants a strong sea port! Boulder, Not sure if you saw Geoffrey Grider’s latest article about Macron touring Beirut ... the Lebanese people have rolled the red carpet out to him ... calling him “Saviour and their only hope”. :wacko: I was curious if Macron has ties with Putin so I googled it ... BINGO, here is just one of the many meetings. So your theory of perhaps Putin has a big interest in rebuilding the seaport in Beirut could very well be in the cards. :good: Looks like all stakes are on the table with these 2 scheming gamblers needing each other as they team up and seek their own wheel of fortune and power. Should be entertaining watching this play out and come crashing down. - Fair Use - Check this one out ! Trump has been telling people since this first happened that it was an attack. Another one saying it was Israel. "The games people play!" That made an old Alan Parson's Project song pop into my head! Lol Getting even more interesting... I try to listen to MFATW on the Paul Begley show on Thursdays. Just now listening to last weeks. He says it wasn't Israel. It sounds like it is the beginning of a great Muslim war and that they will be fighting over who gets to be in control of the new caliphate. It is about the 27 to 40 min mark Start more like 25min https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/extra/x2iutcqf1g/beirut-blast?via=webuproar interesting photos and read. Lots of information of ship, where it came from and what happened. Lots of interesting reading. The Rhosus , ship carrying cargo sunk but whereabouts not known? :unsure:
