Alastair Crooke: West Asia Is Incubating a New Era of Revolutions — “A Decisive and Historic Stage”

 

Alistair Crooke covers the situation in West Asia with an unequaled depth of understanding. He describes what is happening on the Arabian peninsula as more than a war, as a revolution, a true revolution by many Arab tribes in the area against the Saud family, which was set up by the British and Americans as their vassal in Arabia. These tribes have never recognized the legitimacy of the Saudi family government, and together with the Yemenis are threatening its existence. The United States is unwilling to protect them from the consequences of their own folly in resuming the war with Yemen, and now it may be too late. With the closure of the Straits of Hormuz and Bab-el-Mandeb and the blowing up of their major pipeline along with their production facilities, they are helpless. It looks to me that “Saudi” Arabia is going down together with the other important colony in the region, which is Israel. Jordan is going down too. Hezbollah will take control of Lebanon. All this is the result of the collapse of the Anglo-American empire in the region.
