Riyadh, Safar 20, 1439, November 09, 2017, SPA -- Due to the situations in the Republic of Lebanon, the official source at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the Saudi nationals visiting or residing in Lebanon are asked to leave the country as soon as possible. The Kingdom advised all citizens not to travel to Lebanon from any other international destinations. --SPA 17:24 LOCAL TIME 14:24 GMT
Let them go at it. Just leave us out of it for once.
Lebanese Hezbollah fighting alongside the Houthi in Yemen.
Think “Hezbollah”.
Just think, these “fun-loving rag heads” will export their “driving prowess” to the crest of the world now.

McCain is willing to send American soldiers to die wherever Saudi Arabia tells him to.
Exactly right. This is possible the beginning of a truly achievable middle east peace.
The saving grace is that Muslims hate each other even more than the Infidels.
Even though they are telling their citizens to leave Lebanon, doesn’t mean whatever they have in mind will be limited to Lebanon. Saudi Arabia broke off diplomatic relations in 2016 after Iran ransacked their embassy, so they don’t need to tell their citizens to leave Iran again.
The Saudis dont fight
Good thing the Mideast is stable.
Ping.
Lebanon is 40% Christian ...for those of you thinking it’s just Muslim vs Muslim violence.
Lebanon was 70% Christian a hundred years ago.
The once-beautiful capitol of Lebanon, Beirut, was destroyed the last time it was the battleground.

[snip] The US position on Saudi Arabia cooled demonstrably during the Obama administration. This cooling was not due to a newfound concern over Saudi financial support for radical Islam in the US. To the contrary, the Obama administration was friendlier to Islamists than any previous administration. Consider the Obama administration's placement of Muslim Brotherhood supporters in key positions in the federal government. For instance, in 2010, then secretary for Homeland Security Janet Napolitano appointed Mohamed Elibiary to the department's Homeland Security Advisory Board. Elibiary had a long, open record of support both for the Muslim Brotherhood and for the Iranian regime. In his position he was instrumental in purging discussion of Islam and Jihad from instruction materials used by the US military, law enforcement and intelligence agencies. The Obama administration's cold relations with the Saudi regime owed to its pronounced desire to ditch the US's traditional alliance with the Saudis, the Egyptians and the US's other traditional Sunni allies in favor of an alliance with the Iranian regime. During the same period, the Muslim Brotherhood's close ties to the Iranian regime became increasingly obvious. Among other indicators, Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated president Mohamed Morsi hosted Iranian leaders in Cairo and was poised to renew Egypt's diplomatic ties with Iran before he was overthrown by the military in July 2013. Morsi permitted Iranian warships to traverse the Suez Canal for the first time in decades... The timing of the administration's release last week of most of the files US special forces seized during their 2011 raid of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan was likely not a coincidence. The files, which the Obama administration refused to release, make clear that Obama's two chief pretensions -- that al-Qaida was a spent force by the time US forces killed bin Laden, and that Iran was interested in moderating its behavior were both untrue. The documents showed that al-Qaida's operations remained a significant worldwide threat to US interests. And perhaps more significantly, they showed that Iran was al-Qaida's chief state sponsor. Much of al-Qaida's leadership, including bin Laden's sons, operated from Iran. The notion -- touted by Obama and his administration [plus a number of obnoxious web trolls] -- that Shi'ite Iranians and Sunni terrorists from al-Qaida and other groups were incapable of cooperating was demonstrated to be an utter fiction by the documents.

Until globalists like Bush, Clinton, and Obama decided to "Democratize" the middle East by supporting the overthrow (or the attempted overthrow) of secular dictators, Iraq, Egypt, and Syria had significant Christian minorities. Only the Egyptian Copts hang on because Al Sisi overthrew the Muslim Brotherhood and restored some semblance of order in Egypt. The rest of the Arab Christians have been either killed over driven out of their country in the name of "Arab Spring" and "Democracy."
what situation

Iran has “advisers” just north of the border with Israel.
