So who SHOULD deal with daesh/isis/isil?

a reply to: hutch622

No, I got you just fine.

My point is, it just won't happen. Saudi and Israeli interests align in the region too strongly for a Saudi puppet to start beef on Israel (especially, let's note, a Saudi instrument that gets its ass handed over on a platter by Syrian Kurds on a regular basis.)

if desh breaks the leash from Saudi Arabia (much as say, Hamas did with Israel back in the day) then something might happen. However, should that occur... Israel's track record of "winning" is pretty poor. They have a good ability to cause massive devastation among noncombatants, and I suppose that's why so many people love rooting for Israel - Kind of like NASCAR fans who cheer the crashes - but Israel probably couldn't beat ISIS. Nor could ISIS beat Israel. It'd be another situation of "you launch missiles, we launch missiles" slapfight in the region.
