Middle East game theory or the law of unintended consequences???

Oops... That feeling of ceding status and the clamour for words and narrative... Can't be comfortable for the west who wandered into the proverbial space between a rock and hard place.

China appears the only option now as a middle east mediator. West will never be trusted again with this, Middle East is changed forever.

If it is game theory and not the law of unintended consequences, watch out for those unintended consequences.
