I just realized why Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations stopped fighting ISIS in Syria and Iraq. The one reason I knew already is they expect ISIS to destroy Russia through expense and attrition like what happened to the Soviets in Afghanistan in the 1980s with Osama Bin Laden as a Mujahadeen leader there.
But, what I also realized today is that ISIS is also in Yemen fighting and car bombing Shia Houthi Fighters supplied with weapons by Iran.
This is just becoming so complicated with Turkey bombing the Kurds (which the U.S. is aligned with both?) and now a loose Alignment between Saudi Arabia and ISIS in Yemen (because they are both Sunni in the end fighting Shias in various proxy wars including Syria, Yemen and Iraq.
So, all this just gets more and more complicated and insane by the day.
Looking at the middle east right now we are watching a MINI-World War going on which eventually may draw in the whole world at some point in the future for a variety of reasons.
And likely then it will even get more confusing and ridiculous and pathetic than it is now.
Remember, the last Cold War cost 100 million lives from 1945 until 1990.
However, I'm very grateful the U.S. does not have 100,000 troops or more there or they would be dying like flies there in that mess just like they did in Viet Nam where 50,000 died and 250,000 were wounded not counting the hundreds of thousands of Walking Wounded with lifetime PTSD with some still wandering the streets of the U.S. from that war years ago now.
