    This new op-ed by Thomas Friedman argues some points I also made in my recent article (aside from the broader argument here, it’s crucially significant that these timely points are now made loud & clear in different circles in the US.)

    Exactly.

    I honestly cannot grasp why the FSB would make such a statement. ISIS will never return to AQ’s ranks. Nor would AQ be willing to accept them. That ship has sailed

    Big if true! Syria introduced a law specifically referring to Wahhabism & the Brotherhood as two ideologies the regime is to fight systematically across state+society sectors: to align with Saudi to curb Wahhabism is ironic, but there’s something bigger👆

    Actors beholden to Saudi Arabia & others are putting such words to action here in the US. American authorities need to put an end to this. It’s real, and shouldn’t be tolerated at all.

    The unprecedented and unjustified media attack on Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will never be forgotten.

    A female friend just lost a job for being "difficult." As she narrated what had happened, it struck me: a difficult woman is one who asks for the things I get without having to ask for them.

    This is a must read. Its very alarming indeed what’s taking place across the Middle East and how certain Gulf states are contributing to global instability.

    Well put.

    Good piece that I mostly agree with. I’ve made similar arguments. Too much analysis about this moment of resurgent authoritarianism is simply wishful thinking. Sometimes repression works; sometimes bad guys win wars.
