    "His persona encapsulated an Iran that was no longer in retreat, no longer bowing to foreign powers, and able to be, by force of will alone, the master of its own destiny. He was killed because he was important. He was killed because Iran was important."

    Abu Dhabi, of course, eventually had to hold its nose & agree to go along with Riyadh’s drive to resolve the crisis. The UAE is still not happy with the outcome, it would have left the crisis for many years from now or indefinitively because it was working well for it. A fact.

    Btw, every single detail in these stories (covering the Gulf crisis from the start) proved right. Some things were hard to prove publicly & were disputed, such as the Saudi-UAE divergence over time on how to resolve the crisis & deal with regional problems

    Similar to the Abraham Accords: if you can become best friends just like that, you probably weren’t enemies. Anyway, glad to see this idiocy is over. Jared Kushner brokers deal ending Saudi Arabia's fight with Qatar | Fox News

    Despite the differences between Saddam and Soleimani, the commonalities were striking, writes. Both men had caused enormous suffering. Both were defiant, and simply too large to die. Yet both were easily taken out by American force.

    Leadership by Al-Qaeda is like providing a dialup internet to a tech company today. Precisely why Zawahiri lost control of the branches in Iraq and Syria.

    Remarkable -- this leadership statement was released on Jan 2, 2021; it's dated Nov 2020; and refers to events from Oct 2020. = Yet more evidence of AQC's irrelevance vis-a-vis its affiliates/supporters everyday issues & developments.
