Arabs' Real Enemies: Iran and Turkey

An interesting article. Arab countries need to realise that after Iraq and Afghanistan, and with internal problems exacerbated by the Chinese Virus and racial politics, that the policing of the Middle East is low down on their agenda. The Arab countries need to realise that solidarity amongst themselves is the only way to survive. Turkey has its eye on resurrection of the Ottoman Empire, even if it is only a smaller version of its heyday! Iran is sheathing with religious hatred and will willingly cut off its nose to spite its face.
The 'good' Arabs must make a common plan and stick to it. No longer should they look to the west for a bailout. China will occupy the US militarily and they can't afford to fight on two fronts, even if Iran and Turkey was supported by Chinese weapons and cash. China will be willing to fight the US through the use of surrogacy and the US knows this and cannot afford to get bogged down in another in- winnable war.
The future for the Middle East looks grim unless they sort it out themselves and without complete cooperation it can't be done! I doubt they have the resolve to do it, and Erdogan and the Mullahs know that!

The future of the Middle East does appear grim, and the different countries are attempting to arm themselves and enter into alliances in hopes of survival. It will be a close thing. Likely countries will resort to developing nuclear weapons.
It was said of the Obama administration that it was treating our friends like enemies and enemies like friends. I expect the Biden administration to pick up where the Obama administration left off, and actually extend and bear down on the Obama administration policies.

The rivalries among the three countries is historic and the Houthis simply a vehicle to continue the struggle. They are little more than a better armed group of bandits that roamed the RIF a century ago.

As much as I loathe and despise Turkey and Iran, my memory serves me well in respect of Arab country complicity in Arab/Muslim terrorist attacks - airliner and ship attacks, 9/11 (and mosque building in Western countries) - on Western and Israeli targets. So let them unite their forces, spend their oil money and fight Turkey and Iran.

If the West and NATO possessed an ounce of courage and principle Turkey would be kicked out of NATO and NATO would assist Armenia.

Why are the Houthis not on the terror organisation list? It is absolutely clear that they should be. What is Biden's game plan?

Turkey and Iran are proving to the Muslim countries in the Middle East that Israel is NOT AN ENEMY. In fact, the recent Abraham Accords will unite the Muslim countries with each other as well as uniting with Israel.

First of all the Arab League countries need to get serious and understand clearly that Israel is not their enemy; instead it is Turkey and Iran. They need to have a security summit and agree on taking the necessary steps if they want to get anywhere at all. They need to realize they cannot have it both ways. Instead of condemning Israel all the time why don't they do the intelligence smart thing and band together all of them in unison and join Israel in opposing Turkey and Iran. Work with the Israelis in the espionage finance and military cooperation. Start by each one of those Arab countries at the United Nations strongly condemn Turkey and Iran often and announce to the world that they are joining Israel in opposing the threat every step of the way. This should include breaking off all diplomatic relations, trade and banking with the Turks in Iranians and pulling all of their resources together and building up a military cooperation coalition all together to intervene at various places within the Middle East. For example all Arabic countries could send troops to help Saudi Arabia invade Yemen and wipe out the Houthis. Train special assassination military units all working together to go after the terrorists and destroy them. The whole situation is just going to continue to worsen unless they take these necessary steps and much more they could do. Start talking to the Israelis in an honest and open way and join with them in dealing with the threat of Turkey and Iran. They can do this but they need to get very serious and stop fooling around and forget about Biden. Let the whole world know where they stand all in agreement. Do they have the stomach for that? Get serious and realize that is Israel is there to stay.

They (Arab States) can't expect any help from the Biden administration, which has returned to Obama administration policies, which included bombing Libya, supporting Syrian insurgents, flying planeloads of cash and precious metals, in secret, to Iran. Obama and Erdogan worked closely together, and Obama's support for the Muslim Brotherhood caused instability among Arab secular regimes such as in Egypt, causing instability and driving Arabic regimes toward support from Russia, including the Syrian regime as well.
The media is wildly supportive of these policies, along with UN resolutions condemning Israel as an apartheid, occupying power of oppressed Palestinians.
It also may explain the continued media exposition of the Russian Collusion with the Trump campaign as the reason for Trump's election.
Trump attempted to tone down the US interventional policies toward Middle Eastern countries so they could settle their problems internally.
US policies toward the Middle East and even Eastern Europe with State Dept. and even John McCain going to Kiev to advocate for Ukraine to enter the Western bloc of nations economically and militarily seem to have led to armed conflict between factions and countries, often undeclared warfare, and refugee displacement by the millions and dead and injured by the thousands.
Now the latest news accounts include extensive Russian troop movements to border regions with Ukraine and Crimea, increased military activity by the Houthi in Yemen with more attacks on Saudi Arabia, the Biden administration removing terrorist designation of Houthi rebels and pulling missile defenses out of Saudi Arabia, while making attempts to reinstate the Iranian nuclear agreement.
In summation, there appears to be a shifting of allegiances throughout the Middle East and even Eastern Europe, and American influence is decreasing, Russian and Chinese influence and involvement increasing and the US will be increasingly marginalized internationally.

When intolerance is baked into generational religious beliefs, there is bound to be conflict.
Islamic countries such as Iran and Iraq, Pakistan and Bangladesh, have been at war with each other in the past, and now the Turkey/Iran coalition vs the Arabs is just another iteration of that same old story. The Shia and Sunni factions of Islam have considered each other anathema for over thirteen centuries, but now comes a politically driven shift.
The new twist is that predominantly Sunni Turkey is now shaking hands with Shiite Iran in order to bully the Arabs, and political ambitions are making strange bedfellows of former enemies.
This is what is happening now, as the Turks rekindle their dreams of re-establishing the old Ottoman Empire which used to rule over the Arab world.
The Arabs, in choosing to reject a potential political ally (Israel) in favor of a lost cause (Palestine) now find themselves confronting a crisis of their own making.
Islam is not, nor has it ever been, a unifying force.

The Ottoman Empire occupied practically the whole of the Arab World, until the "Great Arab Revolt" in the Middle Eastern theatre of WWI. This is another target of expansion that Erdogan is aiming at, in his effort of reviving the Ottoman Empire.

Socialists in the West hear or read the words Iranian "Revolution" and are persuaded that the west alone may be guilty of colonialism and the exploitation of the masses. The socialists narrow definition of an "Empire" is solely applied to the USA in this century because we achieved the status of superpower.
In fact the Iranian Revolution rises from the ashes of the Persian Empire, with the caveat Islam purified the revolution and the evils of colonialism and empire building is no more. And I have a bridge in Brooklyn I need to sell.
The descendants of the Ottoman's are no less nostalgic of their "glory" days. Empires within borders, colonial powers engaged in slavery and conquest somehow given a pass by Marxists because they had the good "grace" to remain in their borders?
The economies the Ottoman's a colonial regime was greatly dependent on slavery, and provided inspiration to Hitler by their annihilation of the Armenians well known and discussed in Europe eventually erupted into greater genocides committed by the Nazis and later the Soviets all colonial powers all slave states. And China is on that list too from Dynasty to Dynasty. The false assumption being what a nation does within its own borders or adjacent to them is less evil than a slave ship sent from the Americas to their markets.

In America any statement that criticizes a competing regime or is used as illustration will be attacked as "racism" The word has been used to meaninglessness at this point.
What the socialists and left do not wish to acknowledge at any cost is nations like China, Iran, and Turkey still survive off the fumes of the cultures that preceded them, cultures that relied heavily on Colonial policies predating Europe. The Ottoman's relied on slavery and conquest the only difference being from that and Western Experiences is they added to their borders and practiced colonialism within their borders. And as much if not more using religious and divine direction as justification. The more important difference is that even preceding socialism western nations had begun to react to the evils of slavery even fought wars to stop the trade to the west and began policing the slave routes to the Americas. Socialist states returned to slavery as a means to break their enemies, counter revolutionaries and when their economic policies collapsed from the inherent enabling of elites and limiting wealth. There was no trickle down in the USSR.
Arabs were made territories of the Ottoman's.

Took them such a long time to realize that!
