If it keeps American soldiers from being killed and wounded I’m all for it.

Sounds like a bold vision to me.

The article needed editing. Maybe it was translated from Arabic.

And....ill just bet the USA is intended to be a member of this pact with Satan. And that there’s a mutual defense clause. And that its designed to protect Sunni supremacy.

No thanks. I see no need for it.

I want an absolute demand that if the USA is treaty bound to their defense, that these bastards hold elections, allow women freedom, allow other religions, and allow anyone including Jews to visit Mecca.

Screw all this Sunni free ride crap.

We shouldn’t be making arms deals with these assholes. If they want to help eliminate IS, fine. Other than that they can screw off.

Trump didn’t run on making arms deals with Arabs.

Pro: let them police the region and get all our people out of there.

Con: a united Arab military force is a big threat to Israel, as in end times military action against Israel.

Sunni Supremacy ‘in the ME’ is by far better than Shite.....it’s one or the other Desert Rhino....or would you prefer Irans ISIS....who are predominately Shites.

For the last 50 years, the great advantage that Israel has had in the Middle East is that the Muslim armies are not well trained, disorganized and fragmented along national, tribal, ethnic and sectarian lines.

Developing a mechanism or an organization that would have a chance of uniting the Arab/Muslim world would be a huge mistake.

The mlilitary might of that time will be predominately Russian and Turkey armies....Turkey has the largest standing army in the ME....and Egypt won't be a part of it as well as others in the ME.

Saudi is the protectorate of the muslim holy sites in Saudi Arabia.

At this point both the Saudis biggest concern is Iran. If we can sell stuff to the Saudis to use against Iran that’s a win-win in my book. It’s not like there are great choices over there. Either a rich, corrupt theocratic police state, or a rich, fanatical theocratic jihadist state.

ISIS is a Wahhabi Sunni organization, the sworn enemy of the Shia. As such, there is tremendous emnity between ISIS and Iran.

The 9-11 death toll: 2996 killed by Sunni 0 killed by Shia.

I cannot see how any American would think that the Shia are more dangerous to American citizens. Iranians have not carried out terrorist attacks on American citizens on American soil.

Why are we helping to construct a new caliphate—and sending it hundreds of billions in advanced weaponry?

Why?
