Another good interview to let us see how the other side is thinking. Something the main stream news won't tell us. This rumor going around that a drone accidently flew in an open door on that Apache helo and brought it down is a good example. The truth will leak out eventually. The pilots will talk to their squadron buddies and someone will leak it to an independent new org. at some point to score a little cash.

I'm sure those two pilots got their butts chewed out by their squadron commander when they were finally rescued and brought back to their command platform. They also probably were ordered to sign a security clearance document ordering them never to tell anyone outside of their chain of command what really happened to bring that chopper down. But the story will leak out eventually.

As for all the rest, the Prof. is right. The U.S. is boxed in on all sides with only one way out. Whether Trump will see that and eventually take it before the economy crashes into a major recession remains to be seen. I'm preparing for the worst.

Russia and China are missing an excellent opportunity to field-test their air and sea defense systems in real battlefield conditions by supplying them to Iran. Plus, it behooves them to see that, without a doubt, Iran is the big winner.
