In the Middle East tent, all the leaders are actually putting on a show. and…
Saudi Arabia, which has consistently supported the USA and Israel, has finally realized its turn is coming and has begun protesting against Israel. Claiming that the attack on Iran was organized by Israel, not the USA, Saudi Arabia condemned Israel for a potential attack on Iran.
But will this condemnation change anything? No, it won’t. Tomorrow, US President Trump will call Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, offer his condolences, then begin a small-scale blackmail attempt, forcing Salman to back down.
The same applies to Turkish leader Erdogan. Erdogan, who constantly speaks loudly and condemns Israel, is inextricably linked to the USA. Trump has him as a hostage, both because of his wealth and because of HalkBank, the state-owned bank that violated sanctions against Iran. He has no other option.
Trump, in turn, is held hostage by Israel.
In reality, a theatrical performance is taking place in the Middle East, and men are playing different roles in this play, but all the roles lead to the same conclusion. ‘Greater Israel is coming’
The headline is exactly as above…
