6. A serious question

I was with you until you got to Wahhabi/Zionist axis. How come everyone else gets a country? I appreciate your response but I don't think this is a matter of zionism at all. It's straight up imperial lust for world resources and weakening Russia and China. Could you please explain what you mean by that term? I don't want to misunderstand you. By Wahabi, I take it you're referring to the governments of Saudi Arabia + Qatar who are stirring up Shia-Sunni problems throughout the ME? And by Zionist, you mean the government of Israel? So a political alliance of political movements? It's 5:30 in the morning and I'm totally confused because I DU-googled that particular term and saw you using it with Lithos and he didn't bat an eyelash. I'm obviously missing something. It came across as a loaded term at first but after reading your post about 20 times, I think I understand, and understand why you tied this to monarchies vs. republics. But I'm still not sure. Or clear. The main thing your post drove home is that there are fluid, overlapping lines all over the place and they're explosive, laid out on a bed of gunpowder.
