That 13-point tweet series paints a surprisingly plausible picture. I'm looking forward to getting the full story in about 20 years time.

It's weird, though. Sure, it could be some kind of tit-for-tat thing, but I wonder more about 3rd party 'allies' in the middle east who have more to gain by pitting the US against Russia.

Then again, I'm sure that there are enough people and intelligence services in play to make everything confusing.
