After the Maddow show last night some things began to fall into place, at least in my mind. [View all]

I will try to keep it simple.

Iran wanted to build nuke plants for domestic use and we wouldn't let them. I believe now because Iran would have been a formidable competition for our buddies the Saudis. Now it is becoming clear. No wonder the Saudis and Israelis are in alliance together in support of Kushner and Trump's dealings with Saudis. No one seriously believes that Iran would nuke anyone. It's all about the money, the resources, the economic development etc.

All that back-door stuff with Russia and Saudi Arabia is all about their economic development and to keep, what would be their biggest competition, the very resourceful and talented Iranians. Remember, most of the US Congress was against allowing Iran to develop nuclear energy just for domestic purposes. The Persians are brilliant people, and given half a chance to thrive they would just about take over all the economy of the ME and pose even competition to China in Asia. Hmmmm.
