    Why did Iran, this middle-sized underdeveloped country under sanctions, have the nerve to shoot down American drones and attack Saudi's oil facilities?

    Why did the Taliban, the struggling militant group, murder American troops prior to their meeting with President Trump? Who are they meeting these days?

    You may say, Russia could be behind all these. Truth is, Russia is just a bad boy. It never sided wrong in history. Russia is not a real threat to the west. And it's not powerful and rich enough to be so.

    The Trump administration is wise enough not to engage Iran or the Taliban directly. Instead, it put all its pressure on the culprit, the real evil that has been sponsoring and encouraging terrorists and rogue nations.

    During the Taliban regime in Afghanistan from 1996-2001, Iran was known for its strong anti-Taliban stance. It was part of the Northern Alliance along with India and Russia.

    Iran and the Taliban don't have to be friends to have a common patron. And that patron is definitely not Russia or India.
    Check out who they are meeting today.

    Uh huh.

    Iran said it will stage a naval drill with Russia and China in international waters after the U.S. announced plans to send troops to the Middle East ,,,

    Trump was supposed to meet with them, but he said that meeting was dead... so I don't know.

    I thought he decided not to deal piecemeal, which could be a message that we won't allow China to steal intellectual property while we relax tariffs. Haven't found a cancellation.
