Discussion of whether the war has genuine religious/end-times motivations (citing Huckabee's 'Greater Israel' rhetoric and Chabad third-temple talk) versus being primarily a real-estate and regional-hegemony business project, using the Egypt/Morsi precedent to show the US doesn't actually want democracy in the region.
- Republican strategists have mobilized evangelical voters since Reagan and Gingrich, cynically treating them as 'the loonies' who need constant red meat to stay loyal.
- Real estate projects are being erected on corpses of Muslims killed in wars—Kushner and Netanyahu are doing big business while building condominiums atop a mountain of bodies.
- When Gulf monarchies topple, they'll probably be brought down by religious fanatics, not progressive secular pluralists.
- The Egyptian revolution of 2011 toppled the US-backed Mubarak dictatorship and held free elections that Mohamed Morsi won with broad democratic support.
- Within a year of Morsi's election, the US backed a coup putting General al-Sisi in power, ending Egypt's experiment with democracy.
- Morsi was educated, modern, and a political realist—he was never given a chance to show what a religiously-identified but secular-respecting democracy could look like.
- The US doesn't want democracy in these countries; it wants malleable states that do its bidding regardless of how they treat their own people.
- Trump told CNN he has no problem with religious leaders taking power in Iran and isn't concerned whether it's a democracy.
