      Can someone explain why it's in America's national interest to take the Sunni side a global Sunni/Shiite conflict?

      America is a secular polity. It shouldn't take sides in sectarian Sunni/Shiite conflicts but, if involved at all, work to defuse them.

          It especially shouldn't take sides when the side it's taking promotes extremist ideology which lays the foundation for terrorism worldwide.

          Do you think Trump could explain the difference between Sunni and Shiite? Tillerson?

          America doesn't fight religious wars. That's why I like living there. At least that's what they always said. 😕

          I understand why Saudi elite frames regional conflict in sectarian terms (it's how they justify their power). But why is USA going along?

          Because the Saudi's are the guarantor of the petrodollar. That informs our geopolitical posture in that part of the world.

          Support 4 sectarianism is insane; look at Iraq where US has invested billions supporting Iraqi/Shia govt. Our book provides the background.
