<<< “ I’m holding out for Trump to talk to SA and get the Arab Defense Force to make a statement.
He has tweeted that the ME nations should act to “police” their own region. And, IIRC, MbS has assembled a coalition of Arab nations to do just that. “ >>>
THAT makes such perfect sense that no doubt POTUS is on it, in that way.
TRUMP is no war hawk, or chest beater for war, has made that clear, wants us “outta there”, in favor of relinquishing endless US police actions by our troops to regional powers, wherever they are capable of defending and deterring malicious neighbors.
Watch him give the world a tutorial on how to smartly spare our war machine and engage theirs. The US can be back up, of course. Let them be infantry. Regional powers already owe this POTUS a lot, and they know it. (Especially that killer prince guy). Sitting on their side lines won’t fly.
PS: What is their alternative? Iran? USA+Benefits?
No one in the ME wants Iran to have nukes. SA religious zealots agree with the destruction of the Zionist state but, Iran has proven to be quite fickle when ANYONE crosses them. The mullahs rule by 7th century emotionalism.
Plus, Iran is the last regime in the ME controlled by the Clowns. The Clowns want war to increase their influence.
HE had to know one of the routes they might take is war. He’s strangling them economically, they don’t care about their personnel, they might just launch an ASM or something.
