11. Planning for the obvious.

Trump will not be in power for much longer and expect a foreign policy that isn't a blank page they can dictate. Expect a Russia-Ottoman-Persia...excuse me, Russia-Turkey-Iran alliance with a dominated Syria and a US government forcing the House of Saud to negotiate and not expect us to fight their wars.

On one hand, they probably welcome it, when it comes to Syria, its been chaotic. With Iran, they can't get us into a war with them because of Putin. On the flip side, once he's dumped, were probably going to hand the keys of Syria back over to Assad. Were also going to go back to the treaty we had with Iran. Yemen will go back to being two states. A renewed push towards less reliance on oil. And the USA will scrutinize its relationship with Israel and Saudi Arabia...while warming up to Iran.
