What you're missing is that the old status quo is gone.
MBS is 100% capable of allowing the extermination of 3 million Palestinians if it advances his own goals or personal power. And he doesn't give a flying f*** about anything else.
This is not King Salman. This is his psychopath son.
It may be true that the outcome Trump imagines for Gaza is never going to happen, but..that doesn’t mean that he won’t move beyond words. This is Trump we are talking about. Recklessness and delusion are his calling cards.
Exactly. Just because there will never be a US-owned Gaza with 2 million displaced or eliminated Palestinians, doesn't mean he won't take steps (including invasion) to try to make it happen.
I don’t think an encyclopedic understanding of the Middle East is necessarily needed to understand the threat posed by Trump’s statements. I agree that Trump’s statements probably won’t materialize, but a failure to acknowledge the possibility they will is playing a dangerous game.
I don't understand the Arab world, I do understand that the US Military forcibly occupied Afghanistan for decades. How is an alliance of the US Military and IDF going to be stopped by the Arab world?
I think you underestimate the American military industrial complex and how badly it has been itching to make the military spend trillions of dollars since the Iraq and Afghanistan wars ended.

It just forces the US to rely on Saudi Arabian that much more which extends Saudi power over the region.
