Hi Tim! Long time no see. I hope you're doing well.
You know, there are realignments going on in the Mideast almost on a
daily basis. And I still really don't understand what's going on with
this vitriolic split between Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
However, I still stick with the general alignments that I've been
writing about for years. When all is said and done, the Mideast war
will pit Sunnis versus Shias, Jews versus Arabs, and various ethnic
groups against each other. And the approaching Clash of Civilizations
world war will pit the "axis" of China, Pakistan and the Sunni Muslim
countries will be pitted against the "allies," the US, India, Russia
and Iran. Within those parameters, there are going to be
smaller realignments. For example, sometimes religion will trump
ethnicity, and vice-versa.
