Trump’s brilliance: So, now we see the reality of Trump’s plan for peace in the middle east.
Donald John Trump is the new messiah.
The Don has created a new AXIS that includes Israel and the Saudis in alliance against Iran, Pakistan, Russia, and Turkey. What is wrong with that?
Yep. the Saudi Army is a fearsome force, able to drop lots of American bombs on ragged rebels who suffer as their children die ..and their dads fight on.
No doubt this same noble Saudi army of ohso titled royal cousins and nephews will swing their swords alongside the tassel wearing cherdim of the IDF to drive Iran’s Hezbollah out of Syria! Oh yeh! DAYENU
And then there are the long suffering Kurds!
Remember Saladin? He was the man who liberated Jerusalem from the Crusaders .. letting Jews back into the “holy” city after 700 years of Christian occupation. Oh by the by, Saladin was a Kurd! His physician and adviser was Maimonides. Saladin? Yep. He was a Kurd. Should I say that once more?
For decades now Israel has supported the Kurds as the Iranians, the Turks, the Russians have tried to wipe them out! Now it will be great again as Israeli expeditionary forces, alongside the fearsome swords of the berobed Saudi elites enter Syria to fight alongside our Kurdish sisters and brothers for freedom!
The gifts of World War I continue with many of the same actors. And many new actors out of the Ottoman Empire.
Doubt Saladin would consider himself a Kurd other than being slightly Persian and in touch with tent dwellers. He considered himself important enough to establish the Ayuubid Empire. Then came the Mongols. How disappointing no Mongols currently in the picture, but they could show up in 80 years. That could be exciting. Maybe the Russians will invite the Mongols to the party or invite them in. The current dictator of the Mongols is rather independent though so the Russians might be concerned about controlling him, or afraid to give him ideas. Is he still a true believing Communist though?
Saladin served an Arab caliph. He was a Kurd.
