Is it 1914 again already? One errant missile (and they happen: Vincennes/Airbus, the Stark, etc) and the entire region may detonate in a cascade of firepower.

There are still about 100 American citizens left in Yemen. Abandoned by Obama along with $400 million in military hardware. Harf’s solution is make their way to a French frigate off shore.

The Saudis see Yemen as an existential issue for them, to a certain extent so do all the members of the Arab Coalition. The coalition was formed in a matter of days, once it was concluded that a)Obama had abandoned them, and b)Iran was soon going to be allowed to have nukes.

Inadvertently, Obama has created a situation whereby the issues of Israel, vis-a-vis Iran, now align with those of the Sunni Arab nations in the coalition. Even Turkey is making nice with Bibi now.

This may not be a bad development. Today a major Israeli general said publicly “we can take ‘em out”, referring to Iran’s nuke facilities. This is a profound statement and means that perhaps the Sunni Arabs have given Bibi the green light. Has anyone noticed how the Palestinian issue has gone to the back of the bus? Strange bedfellows in the Middle East now. A new alignment is forming, and Iran cannot win in Yemen if the Sunni nations have enough resolve.

A real President would take advantage of this situation. The new regional alignments make it possible to humiliate the Shia Persians now, and the Arab Street would be outwardly silent, inwardly relieved, IMHO.
