While official Washington is understandably preoccupied with the war with Iran, a tectonic shift has just occurred in the region that threatens to overshadow that conflict’s ongoing challenges and knock-on effects.
For many years, we have been encouraged to believe that three sharia-supremacist nations – Turkey, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia – are reliable U.S. allies. Indeed, the Trump administration has counted on them to negotiate on our behalf with the Iranians.
The announcement that those three nations have just established a mutual defense accord is ominous. It means that Saudi Arabia is now joining the Turks and Pakistanis in aligning with the Red-Green axis forged by Communist China and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Reports that Egypt may soon join them signals our enemies are filling a perceived vacuum of power in the Mideast, increasingly threatening Western civilization at a particularly bad time.
This is Frank Gaffney.
