More like out MSP (MainStream Propaganda) has been quiet about the ME.
Barely reported on China/India border skirmishes which overshadowed the Paki/India skirmishes at the same time, not a peep on Taliban reasserting in Afghanistan, barely a peep about 3 ISIS camps getting assploded in West Irag near Syria, nothing on Iran (still chanting Death to America but when called on it the old, well not death death, excuse), getting Egypt saber rattling about heading into Syria, and there's still the Yemen/SA mess.
But yeah, yawn inducing silence.
Egypt might be joining in Libya. That country is a massive mess right now. Haftar is supported by Russia and has much of the land area including most of the east, and is closing in on Tripoli. The Turks and some Gulf Arabs support the Tripoli government and Turkey is actually sending former Syrian rebels to fight there as Haftar's forces get closer and closer to taking the capital.
The Russians have a lot of Wagner guys there too and are apparently even building an airfield and have been doing close air support missions recently.

Nothing has changed other than the media is not covering it at 30 second intervals now.

I really don’t think a 9/11 type attack unites us nowadays. Everyone would just blame Trump and say he did it to win the election. It would further divide us
Nah. It’s like siblings. Only we get to frick with each other or beat each other’s asses. If someone else tries to jump in, they’ll be on the short side of a 2 on 1 beating.
At the end of the day, even the so called “America haters” have immense pride for their country. If they didn’t, they’d follow up on the threat/promise to move out.

I suspect there are foreign actors taking part in the antifa freak shows we are seeing right now.
The idiots blindly throwing support behind this are clueless.

A terrorist attack would just be blamed on a white Christian Trump supporter by the MSM even if all signs pointed to Islam. This is where we are today in America due to liberals.

The Middle East is fricking smart. Sit back and relax and let Americans kill each other from within.

Turkey has all but invaded northern Iraq. Turkey is offshore drilling in Cyprus’ waters. Add to that hyperinflation in Lebanon and not letting citizens take $ out of banks. Saudi intercepting a missile aimed at Riyadh. Jordan being inundated w Syrian refuge

Is it quiet or is the terror world police role not trendy enough for the media right now?
