Are we close to war in the Middle East?

Cliff

Ever?

Gulf War - Wikipedia

I've told you a million times to stop exaggerating.

Not true by a country mile.. anyway moving on.

We are are not sending any troops in you know! All we are doing is showing who we support and British companies, like BAE systems, are supplying expertise and 'service contracts' for the sophisticated weaponry.  Imagine it is like a British Gas service contract on your Boiler.

Skull n Bones

Mmm, why do I wonder that, maybe its because British Gas interventions and support in the home have not been successful, ever![

Yeah, that time we invaded Syria was really terrible. Oh, wait a minute......

Why when only now that Hezbollah has helped to near enough kick the real "terrorists" out of Syria, gaining allies, support and moral high ground along the way, do the Saudis and Israelis feel the need to target Lebanon, fully well knowing the consequences ? Just onto the next after Iraq, Libya and Yemen...

I can understand the Israelis having a pop, as they have been subject to rocket attacks from Hezbollah in the past, but Saudi and Yemen, I have no idea.

So successful we had to do it twice, and the second time we helped created ISIS.
One wonders why you are creating threads about world war three in the Middle East, unless Brexit now means we are no longer part of the world.
The one with Cameron and Hague wanted to team up with some rebels to dispose Assad but said rebels turned out to be ISIS and they spent rest of their tenure rebranding ISIS to Daesh, how can anyone forget.

IronGiant

They can forget quite easily, because it never happened.

Which is completely different from creating ISIS

The Free Syrian Army were Cameron's so called "moderate Syrian rebels", many of whom were trained by western forces. They mostly ended up defecting to al-Nusra and ISIS.
