My comments :
Dunia sedang berubah dengan lebih pantas daripada kilat.
Saudi Arabia dan Israel sudah lama berbulan madu, (sesudah kahwin lari di Golok tempoh hari).
Negara Arab Gulf Council semua sokong Israel.
Amerika sudah mula usaha untuk berdamai dengan Iran.
Ini boleh mencetuskan perang saudara dalam Iran sebab pemimpin demokratik (presiden Rouhani dan gengnya) menyokong rundingan damai dengan Amerika tetapi puak lebai kontol ayatollah tidak mahu berunding dengan Amerika.
Amerika akan mengundurkan tenteranya dari Afghanistan - maksudnya menyerahkan Afghanistan balik kepada Taliban. Hancurlah Afghanistan sekali lagi.
Amerika juga akan menarik keluar tentera mereka dari Iraq dan Syria. Meninggalkan Iraq dan Syria dalam putaran orbit Iran dan Rusia.
Negara Arab pula tidak mahu sokong Pakistan melawan India di medan dunia (OIC, Bangsa Bersatu dsbnya). Jadi Pakistan pun fed up.
Kenapa pula Pakistan perlu sokong negara Arab?
Oleh itu Pakistan sedia menjalin hubungan diplomatic dengan Israel.
Dalam kira-kira strategic Pakistan mereka akan lebih untung jika menjalin hubungan dengan Israel daripada negara Arab.
Perkembangan di medan antarabangsa ini akan membawa kepada banyak lagi sempadan pertembungan yang baru.
Contohnya ialah Israel dan India sedang menjalin perhubungan technology partners dalam banyak industry terutama sekali industry persenjataan canggih.
Di sini India mempunyai hubungan kabel yang sangat kuat dengan Israel.
Pakistan masih 'bebudak kecil'.
Akhir kalam, macam mana pula dengan ahli-ahli politik Melayu dan lebai-lebai di Malaysia yang sudah begitu lama jual minyak "perpaduan umat Islam sedunia", 'perpaduan dengan Palestin', 'berjihad menentang zionis Israel' dan sebagainya untuk memancing undi orang kampong dan mengisi duit dalam tabung Tin Milo?
Apakah minyak baru yang mereka perlu cari untuk dijual kepada orang kampong? Inilah jawapannya :
So Cainis peeper, get ready your rebuttals (Its actually very easy - I will share some ideas later).
The ummah is dead, the Saudi Wahabi syaitans are now kissing and cuddling with the Israelis, the Gulf Arabs are doing the same, the Pakistanis now want to establish diplomatic ties with Israel.
So the lebais and the tepi jalan politicians will need new enemies.
That enemy is going to be you. The Malaysian Chinese.
Be prepared. But dont worry too much.
As Ridhuan Tee has said : 'korek tanah punya orang'. Whatever that means.
