‘God help the Shia’. More than a billion Sunnis have simply had enough of them.”

How far is Saudi Arabia complicit in the Isis takeover of much of northern Iraq, and is it stoking an escalating Sunni-Shia conflict across the Islamic world? Some time before 9/11, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, once the powerful Saudi ambassador in Washington and head of Saudi intelligence until a few months ago, had a revealing and ominous conversation with the head of the British Secret Intelligence Service, MI6, Sir Richard Dearlove. Prince Bandar told him: “The time is not far off in the Middle East, Richard, when it will be literally ‘God help the Shia’. More than a billion Sunnis have simply had enough of them.”
The fatal moment predicted by Prince Bandar may now have come for many Shia, with Saudi Arabia playing an important role in bringing it about by supporting the anti-Shia jihad in Iraq and Syria. Since the capture of Mosul by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis) on 10 June, Shia women and children have been killed in villages south of Kirkuk, and Shia air force cadets machine-gunned and buried in mass graves near Tikrit.

his latest piece, for something called The Unz Review

If this is true, "and it might be" then Sunni young men from all over the 1 billion strong Sunni World From Djakarta to Turkey will get to Iraq anyway they can and join ISIL to eliminate the Shia anyway they can at this point.

One way to look at this is that Iran and Russia have lured them here to fight it out to the death. Another way to look at it is what happens when an "Irresistable force meets an immovable object"?
Another way to look at this is millions of Shias and Sunnis likely are going to kill each other in the coming years and most if not all Middle Eastern borders and governments will change as a direct result.

Which one is true? Any one or all of them could be true!

This is why I think that Russia and Iran are planning a middle eastern war of revenge against the Sunnis who both hate. Syria was the bait. What happens now? I think everyone underestimated the other side which is why neither side will win and millions likely will die over the next 10 to 20 or more years. IF I look down time lines this is the likely outcome as of right now. However, even writing this will change that outcome to a new and hopefully better one that less people die horribly in.
