OK. But let's not forget that Muslim countries had (and probably still have) more money than you can fathom with their oil cartel (until Trump insisted on oil independence for military purposes, and when the cartel dumped oil he went ahead and bought it so it couldn't do as much damage to American companies in the biz).

OPEC has billions and billions of dollars and power to throw around. Maybe China. Maybe China's handler. But I'd be interested in the Arabian connection itself which, if true, would cut off most of the system. China has it's own problems.

And what about all those immigrants which happen to be... muslims. And our muslim representatives that get to were head scarves?

Let's not think the Muslims are a monolithic block. They aren't.

Saudi Arabia is Sunni muslim, and wealthy beyond dreams. Yet, the royal family there is keenly aware of the subtleties and nuances of the shifting alliances within the Sunni realm. Familiarity breeds contempt.

Iran is Shia muslim, and relatively poor, compared to Saudi Arabia. The Shia would love nothing more than to avenge 13 centuries of being shut out of Muslim power over the muslim holy shrines. Shia aren't even welcome in Mecca or Medina, unless they go undercover.

Iran is competing with Saudi Arabia to be the top power in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia already has outmaneuvered Iran diplomatically, economically, and militarily. Furthermore, Saudi Arabia has Israel as a final defense card.

Iran, then, wants to become a nuclear power. The only way to get there is, ultimately, China.

China supplies the infrastructure, the cash, and the technology they were given by Clinton. Iran becomes a muslim proxy.

OPEC is no match for China's "One Belt, One Road" policy. They are too splintered by their own selfish interests, and China comes with a LOT of gifts that aren't necessarily cash.

Thanks for that. So it's Iran and not Saudi Arabia? Obama was sneaking pallets of cash and who knows what else, to Iran. They are not match for China, I guess but again, more than one power. I'm focusing on the Obama angle. Maybe China pays for it. I don't know what to think about that. They all come together and the focus is Iran? I'd need to understand more.

Say, remember when we were being overrun by Muslim "refugees" from the wars in Syria and whatnot, and the donald had the image of the Saudi Arabian refugee camp with no one in it?

The Syrian refugees are aligned with...Iran, not Saudi Arabia.

Yea, Valerie Jarrett pulls the strings on Obama. She's fully aligned with her Iranian heritage.

China pulls the strings on Iran.

Question is....who is pulling Xi's strings?

That's who the real enemy is....
