Serious food for thought.
A couple of points, well maybe three:
1. Syria is goner from any new Arab League.
2. Iran will not get suckered into a war with Saudi and Egypt.
3. They have there own Sucker to deal with right now and he and his Secretary of State are being very cooperative.
All of this means to me that we will not see a major confrontation with Iran involvement this time around in Yeman.
Iran will provide a little advice to the rebels, a little weapons and logic support and a little moral support - that’s it.
After that the Yeman bad guys are about to find out what happens to you when you left hanging out in a dangerous territory and your mother has left you all alone.
I am willing to predict there will be a time when there exist a coalition between Israel and the more moderate Muslims in the middle east. Nations such as Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Saudi Arabia will have to decide do they really want to live the life of the 1500 century version of their religion, or interpret the Koran to allow them to co-exist with “non-believers.
The choose will be for them to put down the radicals themselves or find themselves in the center ring of the next World War, one that will involve nuclear weapons.
Like the years leading up to both world wars the die has been cast, it is coming. It is time for them to choose which century they want to live in. Regardless, things will not go on as they have, change is coming.
Don’t forget Pakistan is in on this from the start.
The history of the Arab Islamic world is that one tribal group comes to dominate others, and that there are occasional swings between pragmatists who like wealth and development and religious fundamentalists who steal and murder.
Islamic groups aren’t above allying with non-Muslims, such as the Franco-Ottoman alliance or the examples of World War I.
‘Is the Looming Arab war — Precursor to the Islamic Caliphate?’
Move along, capt. Obvious. Do you believe me or your lying eyes? Nothing to see here! /sarc.
Hopefully, my great grand kids ( I have none at this time) will look back in history and thank El-Sisi for bringing together the moderate Arab nations to destroy the Iranian Thugs and all the ISIS thugs and other murderous Islamic sectsin the middle east.
