#5 How ugly do you suppose this is going to get???

The Times of Israel is liveblogging today's events. Thus far Sudan and the UAE are also expelling their Iranian diplomats, and the Arab League will meet shortly to discuss the situation. No doubt there will be more mustache cursing all around, and terrible, fiery threats. But at the moment all the parties are stretched and possibly overstretched by their current kinetic endeavours, and oil income is not at all what it was. To add insult to injury, the U.S. has begun exporting oil as well.

I have to wonder who exactly will vote for Former President Barack Hussein Obama as the next UN Secretary General after the past eight years, other than Cuba...

#9 The question we must ask ourselves and ask for our children.

Is there any way way way we can keep these murderous morons killing each other? Or would it be cheaper to nuke the lot?

#10 Just give enough help to whoever is behind to keep them from loosing, but not enough to make decisive victory possible.

See Iran/Iraq war for examples of same. We gave limited help to both sides at various times to keep it going for 8 years.
