what happens if nothing happens

That's practically impossible. Trump would be revealing himself to have the limpest dick of any US president, ever, and no one would be more cognizant of that than him.

i just dont get why everyones at least performatively convinced that This Is The BIg One. trump tweeting about his bigger and better working button was at least as volatile and nothing came of that either. to say nothing of the fact that nothing happened after we kind of blew up that syrian runway either. whatever i guess

- The last one has to be topped, and bigly, since it obviously didn't work

- Trump's never had more of a reason to wag the dog

- There are Russians in the way, and relations with them are so bad right now that the Trump-Putin friendship is looking like Willy and Nicky (that's a WW1 reference :v: )

- Netanyahu, MBS, and Bolton have major war boners for Iran right now (and always)

when i was in nicaragua in 2012 i met a drunk american at a bar who claimed to be one of ortegas doctor, and that he was giving him all kinds of insanely expensive experimental anti-aging and life extension stuff.

Isn’t he allergic to sunlight or something, and his crazy wife sort of runs things now?

Willie Tomg posted:

this specifically is more of a quid pro quo, but essentially yeah. turkish and saudi proxies have been fighting in syria--and of late, specfically in idlib--on the regular, and turkish food shipments have been making the attempted saudi blockade of qatar mostly just a pain in the rear end and not the famine-inducing catastrophe MBS would prefer in order to bring them to heel. and this is all a relatively recent development which was ultimately rooted in MBS having a shitfit that qatar refused to sever ties with iran. not even "support" iran, just... not completely cutting off diplomatic communication. so now instead of a unified gulf, theres this weird crabassed turkish-russo-persian-qatari ..... ~thing~ that showed no signs of existing even three years ago.

Probably not for much longer, once Idlib starts getting hot

Ramrod Hotshot
May 30, 2003

Is it crazy to think that with how badly the Saudis have hosed this up that it could lead to factions within the royal family that are hostile and resentful of MBS staging a palace coup? I mean, this is only the latest in a long line of fuckups in his relatively short reign, from Yemen to Qatar to holding the PM of Lebanon hostage. But this one actually matters, because it threatens American patronage, the only thing keeping this mob family regime afloat. And you know MBS stepped on a lot of toes on his way to power, and those princes haven't forgotten it.
