Saudis already have a billion dollar order for American aircraft bombs, especially bunker busters to try to take out their nuclear facilities. Russia is Iran’s sugar daddy so we won’t get anything from them.

All part of the bigger picture. Islamic culture is crumbling. It simply cannot cope long with the challenges of modernity. Islamic culture has been challenged for the past one hundred years with the values, institutions and practices of the modern world. It is simply not compatible. Most of the Muslim Mideast is either in turmoil or has the thinnest veneer of stability made possible by oil wealth. Despite extracting and selling close to $20 trillion dollars of oil over the past seventy years, in ten years the region will be in chaos and in ruins. The Muslims blame Israel and the US for their troubles but they should look in the mirror.

POS Obama is in a bind. Saudia Arabia is not happy with him and Iran is telling him to kiss their azz.

Legacy? Disaster.

Wahhabi nutjobs vs shia extremist nutjobs. Many beleive the concept of thinning out the herd has a constructive side to it. We are about to see its constructive side in action when these two lock horns.If there was ever a fight for the inept Obama to stay out of, this is the one.

“Islamic culture is crumbling”.

Europe is going to see Islamic “crumbling” first hand this year.

So, who will 0blowme back in this little dust up?

ValJar will make sure that the full might of the US will be backing Iran. All it takes is pulling the right string on his marionette airplane control.

Severing diplomatic relations. It is the first step in declaring war. This couples with a news story last week about the Saudis forming a military coalition.

If this diplomatic war goes hot, watch the price of oil skyrocket.

The Russians and Putin will love that.

Apparently it all goes back to when Aisha, one of Mohammed’s wives, was suspected of adultery, and Ali urged Mohammed to divorce her. Aisha never forgave Ali and led the opposition to him when he became the fourth caliph, and the Sunni vs. Shi’ite enmity has raged ever since.
