Islam has no retirement plans. Those in power hold on desperately until they die. They may kill others by the millions in that hold on power, but that is the cultural normal.

“Per Fox, Saudi Arabia will retaliate against Iran for the attack.”
The Saudis have some non-trivial air assets that could contribute to the war against the mullah regime. The UAE also.

I’m trying to go to my default position; Trump has way more information than I do and I trust his judgement. But I am not a fan of this. I REALLY hope he knows what he’s doing.
