With the war winding down in Syria and Iraq, Yemen will continue to fester and Libya will soon escalate. I wouldn't be surprised to see the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan heat up.Originally posted by iam416 View Post
But there will be no direct war between Iran (or Hiz b'Allah in Lebanon) and either Saudi Arabia or Israel. The Vlad and Donald brothers will see to that. The biggest problem the US faces is in keeping the Saudis completely in our orbit, as there has been distancing with Turkey and Qatar.Last edited by Ed Balzer; December 7, 2017, 11:41 AM.Whatever...Comment

Hamas was the biggest impediment to peace in the 1990s. Once the possibility of it was destroyed, Israel started sharing that burden.Comment

Who else are the Saudis going to turn to? It's hard to imagine.
IMO the bigger question for the US is which horse to back in the region. Saudi is a dead end and the rationale for the relationship in the first place is gone. Iran could be a real country one day, with regular people and a regular and diversified economy and a set of geopolitical interests that aren't so narrow or defined by its basic internal tension. I don't think we should formally walk away from the Saudis, but they aren't our friends, never have been, and pretending such makes other US policy goals more difficult.Comment

Whoever the new guy is, he's weird. I like it. He says strange things that are hard to reconcile with other things in the very same post, and other things that are interesting.Originally posted by AlabamAlum View PostComment

Yep. With the moderate solution unreachable the drift toward less moderation was almost inevitable. And now Israel certainly does share the burden.Hamas was the biggest impediment to peace in the 1990s. Once the possibility of it was destroyed, Israel started sharing that burden.
So, you're Mr. Geopolitical -- what's your sense on Palestine accepting a deal comparable to the one Clinton brokered? Is that still a dead letter? I honestly have no clue other than assuming they wouldn't be keen to acquiesce re EJ.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?
