The only thing Joe Biden will ever be president of is Del Boca Vista Phase III.

The pinko Commie rag The Boca Breeze will support Biden, of course.

Didn’t realise Qaboos had died.
I remember when the British gently pushed his father to abdicate, they were afraid his “traditional” ways would encourage support for the Soviet backed communist agitators.
Example; Criminals were often put in holes in the ground with a grating above them, fed scraps and so on. When he was told that was cruel and would inflame public opinion he was most indignant saying they didn’t last long enough to suffer much !!
Qaboos did a great job indeed.

Oman is good but minor. Saudi? If that happens before Election Day, it’s a game changer for an Trump landslide. In any case, the Saudis are a game changer for Israel.

I was deployed to Thumrait during the 1st Gulf War. I agree with you about the people but no one would consider Thumrait to be beautiful.

Morty Seinfeld wanted to install Cosmo Kramer in a puppet regime and wield power from behind the scenes.
Maybe:
Hillary Clinton wants to install Joe Biden in a puppet regime and wield power from behind the scenes.

Yes, Hillary will wield power at Del Boca Vista Phase III via Joe Biden.
It’s the only way she’ll break the glass ceiling.
Then, she’ll move to annex Poulan and her stock will rise...high!!!

This is wonderful news. Oman is an Ibadi country - Ibadi is the third major branch of Islam after Sunnis and Shias.
They generally try to be neutral in the Middle East and have had relations with Israel for decades, but now they will come out openly about it.
This doesn’t have a direct impact on Saudia - Oman is not a Saudi client state like Bahrain, nor an ally like the UAE.
But Oman is influential with both Saudia and Iran as the middle man.
If Oman normalizes the relationship with Israel, I expect to see Iran stop it’s anti-Israel slogans and actions. Iran gains nothing directly by being anti-Israel (in fact it loses out on trade etc.) - but it thought that being anti-Israel would curry the “Arab street”.
If the “Arab street” is now pro-Israel, then Iran gains nothing. It can concentrate its rhetoric on its real enemies in the region - Saudia and Turkey.
