I'm confused when they talk about escalation: who else is there that could get involved but haven't yet? Jordan, Egypt, and the Saudis don't want any piece of this. Syria?

Are Republicans today more vile than they were under Reagan? Jared Kushner has been "working" with Saudis, ostensibly to foment an oil crisis in time for the election in an effort to get his father-in-law (tRump) elected. 1/4

a serious-minded foreign policy culture that was not predicated, at its core, on simply bloodymindedness, racial supremacy, and the pathological need to Never Admit Being Wrong About Anything would have shaken hands with the new regime after one year and not gotten itself tied to the saudis forever

The Saudis have been bought off. Sorry you didn’t see that.

well him and a bunch of increasingly angry saudis lol

As far as Hamas is concerned they want a 1 state solution. As far as Israel is concerned they also want a 1 state solution, the other Arab countries have absolutely zero interest in giving Palestinians their own State. There are many Saudis who dont think the Palestinians have any right to one.

The Saudis will eventually do whatever suits themselves I suppose but this seems delusional at best in the short to medium term. www.politico.com/news/2024/10...

Oh it's totally not a religion thing, but all about weilding power. Saudis are as much to blame as Israel and USA in keeping the war machine oiled

WWE preparing you for when Saudis buy endeavor and own both UFC and WWE x.com/WrestleOps/s...

if you're looking for a bad equivalent, it'll be like the defeat of Sauron. It removes a focal point for the evil to coalesce around. It took a unique narcissist to rope in the Saudis, the Russians, the evangelicals, the tech bros and the opus dei crowd. Trump is the Ferris Buehler of evil.
