I have a few questions, and take these as honest questions, I am trying to understand, not push an agenda. Some of my confusion probably arises from dishonest media players and false narratives.
1) When the Egypt revolution occurred, and MB was later elected, there were claims that MB was going to alter the constitution to seize power. There were claims that MB was supporting terror groups in Sinai. There were claims that this led to the bombing of a Russian jetliner MetroJet 9628. Are these claims credible? Was the bombing a terror attack, an assassination, or a message to end Russian involvement in Egypt?
2) What is your opinion on the role of Ahmed Chalabi? His wikipedia article says that he was an Iranian Spy. If that is true - then his role as an adviser to the Bush administration in WMD intel, and invasion of Iraq, this implies that Iran "tricked" the US into ousting Saddam, thus making Iraq into a shiite-dominated Ally of Iran. On the other hand, when the US attacked Iraq, Saudi Arabia was the target of several ballistic missile strikes by Saddam. I don't see how Saddam could have been thought of as an ally of Saudi Arabia either. Trying to divide this all up on Shia-Sunni basis seems to obscure some deeper motivations.
3) Is it possible that with Qatar having the worlds 3rd largest oil and gas reserves in the world, that Saudi Arabia is simply making a grab to control more marketshare?
