From the article: Termed “The Northern Thunder”, the drill will continue for 18 days. The aim of the exercise is to send the message that Saudi Arabia and its allies “stand united in confronting all challenges and preserving peace and stability in the region”. Neither the US nor any Western nation is part of the event.
I wonder if now, for the first time in human history, Arabs can enforce peace in their region.
I think that's an impossibility. It's still 'Me against my brother, me and my brother against our father, our family against our clan, our clan against our tribe, our tribe against our nation, and our nation against the world'
This BS written all over it or the writers at IBT screwed. It would take weeks to bring together such a large force over that wide a geographic space.
“I wonder if now, for the first time in human history, Arabs can enforce peace in their region.”
The most brutal dictatorship in the region, far worse than Iran. A feudal monarchy. A nation only second to North Korea in terms of its respect for the rights of the individual. And they will “enforce” peace.
Lot of interesting concepts there. A brutal theocratic dictatorship, “enforcing” peace.
Some folks are slow learners. Hot tip of the day, most of those people are the most untrustworthy snakes on the surface of the planet. Clinton, Bush, Obama et al are not going to fix it, and they will only concoct ways to make sure it completely destabilizes and loots the American homeland. And so far they have done a great job.

What’s the point spread?
