Know most of your citations, but not Balluchis, Akhwazis. Our ex-President's Arab Spring aside, sticking a broomstick up a dictators whatever isn't much, you make an interesting point about self determination. In the region of nations a bit older than we were in 1775. There could well be a reorganization of the region underway. What it means in the world order, particularly economic, don't know if we exclude Israel.

Balluchis are an Iranian minority. Akhwazis are Arabs, and they are sitting on the Iranian oil fields, the Iranians know it, and treat them like dog sh!t, suppressing their language and culture, polluting their environment. This is a golden opportunity to take down Iran.

Israel, if it’s smart, will be in the middle of this regional reorganization, tweaking it quietly but effectively from the sidelines. I think that that is exactly what the government is doing. Trump, if he is smart, will help and encourage this.
