Funny question. Pakistanis stand on Azerbaijan’s side, Saudis can ignore it.
Every day it marches closer.
I’m starting to rethink by “timeline”. We may even witness 38.

The Saudi Nation was founded from their struggle against Turkish Ottoman rule.
By the same logic that Erdogan recently claimed Jerusalem, he should also claim Mecca and Medina.
“By the same logic that Erdogan recently claimed Jerusalem, he should also claim Mecca and Medina.”
He just fired the first salvo in that pursuit.
He is very clearly and directly declaring his intent: The old Ottoman Empire will be restored from the Gates of Vienna, to Mecca and Algiers.
