What do you think is maintaining the status quo (or as close as you're ever gonna get) in the Middle East?

It's not mutual respect, let me tell you that sunshine!

I'm quite aware of what is maintaining the status quo. I just don't think the status quo should be maintained. An ally of ours should deserve to be an ally of ours.

An interesting article on Britain's arms trade. Some of our biggest customers are countries with which we profoundly disagree on the subject of human rights. Of interest might be the levels of subsidy the industry gets from the taxpayer, and the fact we usually provide lines of credit that leave the taxpayer responsible if the buyer neglects to pay in full.

The US has picked sides in the Middle East, and that is and always has been their problem. There is nothing wrong with stepping back to reevaluate, reconsider, and rethink. If America did this their alliances with Israel and Saudi might be used to curb excesses by those countries, and rapproachment with Iran might be pushed forward. The cumulative result could be a reduction in tension in the region, and meaningful talks to end the Syrian Civil War.

Division in the middle East has been around longer than America... But blame them randomly for everything if it makes you feel good

[AndrewJB]

I didn't actually say anything was America's fault, but their foreign policy positions stand in the way of them being able to help bring peace to the region.

We should just keep out of Arab politics and the middle east in general. They are tribal,have family groups,and have such strong religious persuasions that we in the west cannot comprehend . History has shown strong dictators bring stability.

Comment:

.."The number of people that do not want to hear the truth is astounding! They are much happier with what the misinformation and lies the MSM puts out even though it just doesn't seem to be right."

Vanessa Beeley Exposes the White Helmets

"For the past two years, Vanessa Beeley has been doing on-the-ground reporting in Syria exposing the lies of the NATO powers and their terrorist proxies. Her work on the White Helmets in particular has drawn the ire of the warmongers and their media mouthpieces. Today we talk to Beeley about the true nature of the White Helmets and the well-funded PR campaign that seeks to defend them."

Seems to be an Islamic thing.

Ethiopia was always Christian and they've prospered since ridding their dictatorship
