   With Mr Johnson as the new house speaker, certainly the Kremlin can understand   
   the general direction of US politics for the next year..   
   Russian support concerning Iran during the next few days will greatly   
   influence the billions of dollars, if any, that the GOP will give to the   
   Democrats to continue funding the war in Ukraine.   
   For example, release of all hostages will mean zero dollars to support Ukraine.   
   Murder of all hostages will involve scores of billions for Ukraine and a US   
   all out war against Iran, with probable use of tactical or strategic nuclear   
   weapons against opponents of US.   
   What we will see is something in between, depending on what happens.   
   Mr Johnson reads the Revelation of St John to see the warnings.   
   Mr Putin gets his intel from God knows where.   
   I simply read what I see.   
   I expect dangerous games until January of 2025 when the winner of next   
   November's election is sworn in.  As is, Mr Biden has the power of a lame duck   
   as there is low confidence concerning his reelection.   
   With US cities begging for billions for migrant relief there is very low   
   probability that the US will give billions to Gaza and not the same request   
   for  New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles and the other US cities in   
   need of a Federal handout    
   to handle their own humanitarian concerns. Biden turns a cold shoulder to US   
   cities while he pleads to borrow billions for humanitarian help for Gaza   
   Iran can feed Gaza instead of delivering weapons and tunnel construction   
   funds. Iran can use money not borrowed to feed Gaza instead of using it to   
   rebuild the Iran navy and seaports which is what Trump and the US will destroy   
   at the current pace.   
   I guess it all depends on what Russia and Iran tells Hamas, doesn't it?   
   What happens between now and 2025?    
   STALEMATE and Gaza in very bad shape
