Naturalpolitik

Adaptation or extinction, the basis of "Naturalpolitik". 
Surely, there are many within the system, who are hopeful that the Democratic Party will take over the Congress in the upcoming year. Well, it is now easy to hide a political orientation under the term "checks and balances". 
The system supports an advanced version of "separation of powers". Moreover, the people and Congress will apparently welcome the leftists' possible victory. It has been the whole story with a good ending. 
But how many of Democrats are really bound to left-wing politics in order to be able to re-implement the checks and balances?! 
Since many people are frustrated with Republicans, the chance of voting on emotion will be increased in the upcoming 2018 Congressional election. 
The system must interfere in order to return balance to the game, which might make it harder for Democratic Party. It is more convenient to find it as a qualification test for Democrats, which should not be a big deal for real ones.

Yemen: The War as a Shield

One of the covert functions of wars is unity under the flag of terror.
The upper hand of Yemen's Houthis in the war is an undeniable fact. And from now on, the war plays a pretext for Houthis to implement the lynch law against its rivals and the assassination of Ali Abdullah Saleh is a proof in this regard. On the other hand, Saudis are weak enough to be stuck in a dead end rather than accepting their defeat in the war and put an end to it. 
The Only victims of this situation are kids. There is no room for mercy in dealing with passive men and women. Nevertheless, the Houthis are penetrable but there is a faint hope of influencing in their regime and make a division at this point of time. It can be considered an option after a truce. But at the present time, one can do blind assassinations against ring leaders of Houthis. It can increase pressure against them and gradually make a way out of this deadlock.
