The Next Big Middle Eastern War (Greenfield)

The Next Big Middle Eastern War

Saudi Arabia vs. Iran.


November 17, 2017
 
Daniel Greenfield

 

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical left and Islamic terrorism.

The Syrian Civil War killed hundreds of thousands and displaced millions. Its ripple effects brought terror to Europe and dragged the United States into the fighting. And it’s just the appetizer for the coming war.

The real war is the one that the Saudis and the Iranians have been maneuvering toward for years. Those maneuvers included everything from Iran’s nuke deal, the fighting in Yemen, the Syrian Civil War, the Iraqi suppression of Kurdish independence, the rise of ISIS, and the Qatari embargo.

The death toll from the buildup to the Sunni-Shiite regional war is approaching a million. And the war hasn’t even begun yet. It may never become an actual war as we understand it. It’s possible that there will be a hundred little wars exploding across the region. These wars will tear apart more of the region and the talking heads on television will blame global warming or Israeli settlements.

Those progressive excuses make much more sense to the media than an Islamic religious war.

And it will almost certainly drag us in.

We should stay out of it, and let Saudi Arabia and Iran pound each other back into... the sand.

The more damage they do to each other, the better.

The world oil markets will be in turmoil for a while, but when there's little left but rubble we can go back in and re-colonize both countries...  ;)

Great article by Greenfield...they always are.  I could lurk his Sultan Knish blog all day and will find something new.    A decent guy, too, he's answered my posts on the Knish.

The Saudis and Iranians have been angling towards war since Mo was out there banging his 9-year-old wife, so this has been a good long while in the making.  This will be a Sunni vs Shiite thing, and potentially decades to run out.  It's like Iran/Iraq, only with more money involved, thanks to Obama.  Advantage:  Saudi and the Arabs.   There are a lot more of them, and a lot more money (and weapons).  This will trip before Iran gets nukes, because the Saudis are not fools about who it is Iran intends to use them on, and it ain't Israel.  That's just crap the leaders of Iran tell their peasants to keep them believing this isn't going to collapse their annual Hajj.  It will.

Both we and the Russians would be foolish to get involved in this.

Good read.  And, I expect he's correct.
