Saudi Arabia General Discussion Thread: Purge Time with Finn and Jake

Oman and Kuwait will probably maintain relations with Qatar, especially Oman.

Oman is bit like Switzerland of the Arab world in a sense they're more or less staying away from regional dramas, notably Yemen and now Qatar. For years Oman, due to its good relations with both the U.S. and Iran, served as a middle ground where the two sides could communicate discreetly.

Also, being neither Sunni nor Shia, Oman does not have a bone to pick in the theological conflicts.

George Bush should have invaded Saudi Arabia in 2003, not Iraq, IMO.

But Israel didn't want war with Saudi Arabia.

They weren't delighted about the war in Iraq either, iirc.

Netanyahu personally testified to Congress in favor of it.

Sharon made him do it as a private citizen rather than in his capacity as Foreign Minister, though.
