Understand this about the Saudi military: 1) It is overwhelmingly staffed by foreigners (mostly Pakis), 2) It has FAILED to achieve its strategic aims in Yemen after a decade of blasting the place apart. 3) It is primarily meant for a) limited counterterrorism and b) internal policing mission sets. AND LET US NOT EVEN TALK ABOUT THE OVERWHELMING UNWILLINGNESS OF SAUDIS TO GO TO WAR/STRUGGLE AGAINST THE ODDS THEY ARE FACING WITH IRAN. In other words, if Trump is expecting the Saudi military to have his back, he's even more delusional than I believed.

BREAKING: Reporter: Why didn’t you inform allies before attacking Iran? Trump: We wanted surprise who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?

Because it's often getting lost in the discussion here, this is a partial list of Iran's attacks on energy *before* the Israeli strike on South Pars: - Ras Laffan LNG complex in Qatar - Ras Tanura oil refinery in Saudi - hundreds of drone attacks on Saudi oil fields - Ruwais refinery in Abu Dhabi - Shah gas field in Abu Dhabi - port of Fujairah - Bapco oil refinery in Bahrain The list goes on. Point is that, yes, South Pars was an escalation in American/Israeli targeting, but it comes after weeks of Iranian attacks on GCC energy infrastructure.

I think that we are headed for a Saudi-Iranian war. And I don't think it will end positively for the House of Saud

Why don’t gulf countries sell their extensive US government debt ???

Tulsi Gabbard is wrong to club Pakistan with Russia, China, North Korea and Iran. Pakistan’s nuclear program has always been India-specific. Such self-serving/groundless assertions only betray Gabbard’s incorrigible biases. She is anti-Pakistan. Trump must rein her in.
