Civil war began in Saudi Arabia.
#17
RE: Civil war began in Saudi Arabia.
Bill Maher once put up a chart of the size of the armies allegedly fighting ISIS.  They totaled 5 million men,  ISIS had about 40,000 and Bill was wondering why they couldn't handle ISIS by themselves without dragging us into it.

Bill is a comic he is not an expert in realpolitik.  Those armies are primarily designed to keep the regimes which pay them in power.  How far any of them could project power across their own borders is an open question.
