Imagine if WWI and WWII could have been foreseen and prevented? Just imagine that for a moment! Now we have the opportunity to prevent WWIII that Russia and Iran are planning for Europe and the MENA region. By preventing WWIII we can also position ourselves to avoid a Chinese-instigated global WWIV. It is absolutely pivotal to accelerate what appears to be US-Saudi negotiations whose successful conclusion would also involve peace and normalization between Jerusalem and Riyadh. Israeli-Saudi peace is indeed a crucial forerunner to building a MENA defense alliance. Although there are tremendous diplomatic challenges involved in getting some Arab nations to join such a defense alliance, the actual coordination of the alliance will take years to attain and hence there is absolutely no time to waste.
