Middle East Inferno


Today I read the Saudi’s are starting another oil price war.  This time will be different and I predict it will lead to a hot war.  The Middle East is already chaotic and hurting so they can’t take much more.  This will only exacerbate a breakdown of order in the Middle East and lead to a more intensive wide-scale war in the region to restore order. 

There is already a region-wide war ongoing.  Yemen and Saudi Arabia are already fighting.  Libya rebels, government and Turkey are already fighting.  Syria, Russia, US, Iran, and Turkey are already fighting.  Israel is fighting Iran already via Syria and proxy strikes.  Iran will continue attacking US interests via proxies as rocket strikes on US assets are still continuously happening in Iraq.  As everyone moves to protect their interests, they will increasingly use their militaries to achieve their goals since it doesn’t seem to be achievable at the negotiating table.

Saudis want OPEC + Russia to toe the line and there will be a push back.  Middle East nations will hurt and start aligning with Iran to counter what is to be seen as Saudi aggression.  I predict Iran with the help of Russian covert ops will use their proxy forces to strike Saudi Arabia to disrupt their oil production and lead to increases in the price of oil.  This price war isn’t like the past price wars they have engaged in.  Tensions are already high.  Coronavirus is causing economic strains.  Conflicts are already in place. Every action has a counteraction to balance it out.
