#1 I think this is entirely plausible. Iran's desire to control topography from Tehran to Med is well-known. Also well-known: Arab hostility to that happening. USA and Russia have at least equal reason to defeat Salafi Jihad and Iranian Jihad. Russia even more than USA, perhaps, considering Europe is now Salafi, mirroring Salafi threat to Russia's east.

So this man's analysis, which I read through, makes sense to me. It also calls to my mind the Three Brothers Doctrine I have mentioned in these precincts once or twice before: http://theological-geography.net/?s=three+brothers

#2 I think this is entirely plausible

More like possible, as in "anything is possible".

#3 Two Christian nations fighting it out, possibly one to the death and the "survivor" with extreme casualties.

Cui bono?
