Towards a new Arab cultural revolution

1. Well, of course Saudi Arabia is hungry for war

At no point in that country's history have their wars actually involved the Saudis fighting. Saudi involvement in the wars against Israel largely amounted to funding Jordanian military ventures. Saudi Arabia's involvement in the Iran-Iraq war was in moneying Saddam - and then having the US protect Saudi shipping. It was much the same in the Gulf War, when the Saudis declared war on Iraq - and then handed the entire thing over to the US to do the actual fighting for them.

The Saudi military is a joke; the entire air force is laughable because the only people allowed to be pilots are members of the royal family; the Saudis have more fighter jets than they do fighter pilots. And they keep buying more. The Saudi army is similarly tiny, and its main course of training is harassing women who aren't wearing state-approved socks.

Saudi Arabia wants war with Iran. More specifically they want the US to fight Iran. Incidentally so does Israel. Given that the US's two "allies" in the region are clamoring for "Let's you and him fight!" and the US presidency might be in danger of shifting to a guy who will be as easy to manipulate as modeling clay, it's not looking like a great time to be living in Iran.
