SpoilerIs there a list of nations agreeing to this coalition?
Quote from: HurtfulTurkey on March 26, 2015, 06:54:46 PMSpoilerIs there a list of nations agreeing to this coalition?Definitely Saudi Arabia and Egypt, which are 2 out of the 4 biggest players in the Middle East (the other ones being Iran and Turkey). In all probability, the coalition will also include the UAE, Jordan, Qatar, and Kuwait. With other Saudi Arabia-aligned countries, I don't know who to expect. Possibly Bahrain, but the majority of their population are Shia (under Sunni leadership), and Oman doesn't seem to be aligned with any of the major power blocs in the Middle East.

Because the article never specified which Arab foreign ministers were present, and this is just a draft proposal which was accepted by the Arab ministers. The actual creation of the military force could take years, and we have no idea what sort of form it would take.

A law is an opinion with a gun behind it.
This will never succeed. Ever.
War is coming, with all its glory, and all its horror.
It's hard to take those places seriously when they don't even have matching uniforms. Do they do call each other up in the morning. "Mai friend, weer sum ting brown today."
Second Cold War or WWIII is upon us.
Arab states agree to form a unfied military force.
