Iran and Saudi Arabia reportedly agree to resume diplomatic ties and re-open embassies within two months

Israel is the dagger put into the heart of the Islamic world which stretches thousands of miles from the east to the western most shores of Africa. Imagine if Lichtenstein, in the heart of Europe, however tiny it is, was a devout Muslim country backed by powerful forces from thousand of miles away?? And it was YOUR damned Brits who engineered that implant. It was YOUR damned European Christians ethnic cleansing of the Jews which engineered the implant. Any Jew with clarity of views would be able to say that Christians have persecuted Jews far worse than Muslims ever did!
No 'mullah' brainwashing is needed to expose Israel's crimes against Palestinians! Go and read users' 'Comments' about most articles about Israel even in the NY Times!! PDF is not unique in criticizing Israel's slow genocide of the Palestinians!!

Yemeni children starving to death is a real genocide, and it's not the fatties Palestinian. And guess who is doing, it's not Jewish.

In fact any Eurasian state have common interests among them and no one with USA.

USA have made twisted things to make look hard the easy: Eurasian union and USA is not needed anymore.

Absolutely. The Eurasian continent is one continent! It is the Neocons in America along with their reliable poodle the Brits who are causing the wars. Both countries have the luxury of geographic distance and can burn and watch from a distance. Due you really think that Hitler wouldn't have conquered Britain had there not be the water between them??
As I browse the internet, I see more and more CONTINENTAL Europeans are realizing they have been used as a pawn by the Neocons sitting in Washington, ably aided by the poodles in the UK, and the Ukraine-Russia war is the latest war which is opening Europe's eyes.

Recent USA behavior also goes in that direction, since Bush went out, they respect American continent. They even tolerate socialism in Venezuela, no USA interventions in America continent, all the mess they did are only in Eurasia/Africa.

USA is protected by two oceans, that's their main defensive strength.

In a destablized region, civility goes away. But without the dagger of Israel planted in the heart of the Islamic world, there WAS relative peace and prosperity in the Middle East for centuries and I believe peace can be achieved again. I mean no harm to Israel. On the contrary, I think Israel can be a great resource in the Middle East. But Israelis need to want to belong to the Middle East instead of being 'an outpost of the West' in the Middle East. Such hubris. Such sense of superiority and entitlement!! Israelis need to make peace which was offered to them by Saudi Arabia in 2002. Otherwise, I don't think Israel is going to survive for long. Israel's enemies maybe divided and weak right now but if you read the history of the Middle East you'd see that powers had been rising and falling. And what the hell is Israel?? Iran's currently deployed rockets and missiles in close proximity to Israel can destroy Israel in case of a war!!!

Iranians have an national obsession, inferiority complexes and hatred for Arabs for the Muslim Arab conquest of Iran and centuries of Arab rule, the everlasting change of religion, culture, linguistic (Farsi is almost an Arabic dialect as a consequence), scripture, names, surnames (most of which are Arabic in origin), even genetical impact etc. The most hardcore Iranian nationalists (the majority abroad and I suspect the majority of their irreligious youth nowadays) claim that Iran has been an Arab colony for the past 1400 years and anything remotely related to Islam is an "Arab virus". You see such similar rhetoric from certain Iranian users here on PDF as well. They know who they are themselves.

Most Iranians are only Muslim by name, they value their pagan traditions such as Nawruz (ancient Semitic/Babylonian spring festival that they copied in pre-Islamic times like almost everything else), most of them (young generations) have a deep hatred for Islam (which they associate with Arabs) and they already have the lowest mosque attendance in the entire Muslim world.

Arab regimes are retarded if they trust such an entity especially considering the past 43 years of history.

I guess they have to learn it the hard way when they don't listen to the majority sentiments of Arabs in regard to that entity.

Saudis are pragmatic. Iran is here to stay. Whether you like it or not Iran is a large producer of hydrocarbons

Israel was useful for the West in the 1970s. But it's not needed anymore.

Something similar happens in Europe, the USSR doesnt exist, so rich West Europe is not useful for USA anymore. But European leaders dont want to stop sucking American tit, the same Israel leaders.

I think KSA is not interested in Iran producing hydrocarbons.

KSA respects Iran due to his military power, and it's not due to economic reasons.

You are almost correct in your post except for the bolded: Israel benefits from its relationship with America while America has not gotten the same value from Israel for decades. Once Israel might have been useful in the backdrop of the Cold War. But that era ended a long time ago. Instead, it is 'The Israel Lobby' , as brilliantly exposed by Mearsheimer and Walt in 2006, which has been driving America's foreign policy for decades against America's own interests. You know in the 'free' country of America an old decades long career of White House journalist like that lady who spoke against Israel can end?? If she had criticized Islam then I am sure she would have gotten away with that!!

And how is that even possible that a tiny country could drive a Super Power's policies?? It is not hard. You need to get to situation where only a few dozen media outlets can be controlled, a few hundred Congressmen/Senators to be controlled. You need to be in a position where any anti-Israel politician would be routed out of the Primaries by flooding money against such politicians--and, yes, this has happened in America! And you can use the stupid Rapture-seeking Christians. You need to hide in plain sight. You need to appear 'Western' and White to Americans.
And you got a Superpower in your pocket!!

Even if Iran was not a military threat there is a good reason for Iran and Saudi Arabia to work together in a world where we are moving away from hydrocarbons. Saudis like $$$ to keep flowing in on a steady basis. One things that dictates that is the price of oil. That means good working relationships with other oil producers - Iran, Russia

if what you say is true Putin might be agent number one for the neocons

You sound like the @El Sidd guy with his constant puzzles.
As far as the Ukraine-Russia war is concerned: Here is what I think: It is a war of choice by the money hungry Neocons in Washington who cajoled reluctant continental Europeans to join them. Like Colonel McGregor, I don't believe Russia invaded Ukraine to grab land; Russia was forced into this war. I also believe there wouldn't be this war had Trump been the American President. I also believe there are powerful voices in America, even in the Republican Party, who are against the 'blank check' being given to Ukraine. I also believe that the war will NOT end in a Russian defeat--Putin, being the dictator of Russia--would resort to using at least tactical nukes if it comes to that. I also believe had the money-hungry Neocons waited till Putin's natural demise, the next Yeltsin would have given to them what they seek without a war. BUT I also believe Russia is killing itself as a nation by launching this war: Even if the West would 'exploit' Russia's riches, which has been the number one goal for decades, Russia would have been one more nation which would have join the global order under the American hegemony and Russia would have been better off even then, unlike now. America may be an exploitative power but it is not a nasty colonial power like the French or the Spaniard were. Sounds defeatist? Well, tell this to the mothers of those many thousands of Russians who are dead in this war.

The Chinese peace-pact between Saudi Arabia and Iran has shifted the stragetic map significiantly.

The Americans are the kings of allies and the plan was to sacrifice Iran for Israel, KSA, UAE, Egypt, Turkey and other regional allies. The Americans outside of NATO their strongest alliance is the Sunni-bloc they both alot of effort into them and they are numerous in numbers if you add them on top of NATO it turns into like 80 countries coalition. If the Americans had delivered Iran meaning if they were to storm together Iran this would have only tightened their alliance further and enough to convince them to join them on a Chinese adventure in WW3 because at that point they will have a significiantly large cannon fodder group on top of NATO and land corridors. The Chinese understood that a large coalition was building against Iran which could have potentially splid onto china itself and Iran is tied to Russia and China can't leave Russia and they saw this major stragetic error and allies forming against Iran and in order to separate the allies the Chinese came up with the peace pact in order to divert this massive coalition forming against Iran and eventually and potentially one that could splid over to themselves at later date.

But now the Americans don't have anything to deliver to the regional states as they have mended ties. They have nothing to offer on the table to entice them. Hence why Israel's Ex-Premier minister Lapid said ''Our walls have been teared down'' Because the US and Israel wanted to use them as shield.

These regional states aren't chellengers for the world hegemony themselves but they are swing states and can swing the power balance to one of the 3 players (Russia/China and US) significiantly. The US has put alot of effort into grooming them in order to use them as cannon fodders at later date and the enticing price was suppose to be Iran on a plate but now they have lost that card for good
