I believe you are thinking in conventional terms. I don’t see a problem with that. It’s not unreasonable to do so.
It seems to me like a power grab. If you can have your fingers in ten pies, isn’t that better than five, even if you don’t particularly like the six rhubarb pies.
I’m no sage. I’m simply addressing what seems to me like an obvious planned regional series of uprisings.
Putting aside religious concerns, allows these folks to manipulate the process. Then they can either make adjustments later on, or simply be satisfied to have ten states that have a stronger power base than they would have had separately.
If the MB is smart, they’ll keep focused on wielding power, and avoid differences on dogma.
If you think that’s over simplistic, that’s okay. Perhaps it is. I don’t have a better explanation for what is taking place in eight to ten nations, all at once. I’m not a believer in spontaneous combustion across borders and throughout a region like this.
What you are doing is assuming that enemies of 1400 years (Sunni and Shias) PLUS Persians (Iran) and Arabs (Muslim Brotherhood) are somehow cooperating in uprisings in multiple countries, including Iran
You gotta lay off the conspiracy theories. With planned socialistic economies being the complete failures that they always have been, social media, internet and populations that are 75% below the age of 30, this isn’t some Sunni+Shia alliance this is the actual spread of freedom.
Now what happens with this new found freedom is anyone’s guess, but this is exactly what George W was trying to accomplish early last decade. It just took a few more years as these economies completely fell apart
