From the article:

This past weekend, Secretary of State Antony Blinken joined a conference in the Negev, hosted by Foreign Minister Yair Lapid and attended by a number of Arab foreign ministers. Blinken used this occasion to paper over the rift that the nuclear deal has created by presenting an image of regional solidarity, but the region is not deceived.

Sold disingenuously to the American public as an arms control agreement, the deal is an assault on the regional order that the United States established in the aftermath of World War II. Explicitly hostile to Saudi Arabia, to say nothing of America’s other greatest ally in the region, Israel, the deal replaces the former American-led regional security structure with a concert system in which Iran, backed by Russia and China, becomes America’s new subcontractor while America’s former allies—the Gulf States and Israel— are demoted to second-tier status.

....
Also, the Biden administration, like the Obama administration, are in solidarity with the Mus.im Brotherhood....

Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states are also concerned about the Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoots seeking to remake states in the Middle East. Other Arab states such as Jordan, Egypt and Sudan are trying to keep domestic Islamists at bay.

Turkey and Qatar push its Sunni revolutionary ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood throughout the region.

Saudi Arabia’s Council of Senior Scholars last week labeled the organization a terrorist group, saying it did not represent Islam and only seeks “to grab the reins of power.”

The council added that the group wreaks havoc and commits “violence and terrorism.”

Saudi Arabia and the UAE designated the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization in 2014

The Saudis and Emiratis are suspecting that Democrats can create an atmosphere that enables the rise of the Brotherhood in the Sunni world like a decade ago. This is, in my view, what they see as a threat similar to the threat from Iran, if not a bigger one,” he assessed.

The Obama administration had supported the organization and invited its leaders to the White House. It also had criticized the ouster of former Brotherhood Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi by the military in 2013.

Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other status quo powers would not want a Biden administration to warm up to the Muslim Brotherhood.

The world thinks the USA wants a WW. It appears this administration is hell bent on economic, resource and military destruction for everyone.

It appears that we do want WW.

The world will accept a tough, but fair leader. Right now that is not the United States.

Everyday I hear the news and I look at the radio and absolute confusion as to what the regime is doing.

We are no longer sitting at the table or serving the meal. WE seem more like the starving dog under the table, resource guarding scraps that fall from the master’s plate. Dogs like that may bite and if they do they get shot.

And yet they are. Islam's two sects -- among many smaller -- war with each other, and with us when it serves their interests. America has played in this arena too long to not have learned that Islam seeks "submission" in all its flavors, and is therefore acts strategically against liberty. And now we have a Democrat administration pretending to sympathies with one side while emboldening another. Obama's third term. So does it seem.

Perhaps. However, official Washington appears transfixed by trying to provoke some sort of violent push back against constantly escalating woke aggression. The purpose can only be to spark a sort of civil war 2 so a real tyrant state can be imposed using both the woke US military and police forces and UN ‘volunteer peacekeepers’. Progressives really do want to hurt and kill conservatives, Southerners, and MAGA people in large numbers.
