A devastating, multi front war in the Middle East over the summer is a real possibility, and several bad actors in the region and the world see it as a great option and opportunity. Every decent person should be seriously concerned.
Three beleaguered political leaders surrounded by legal problems probably see such a war as salvation. I'll leave it to you to figure out who, but here's a hint, their first names are Donald, Mohammad, and Benjamin
Note: They'll present themselves as peace makers fighting for peace and against extremism and terrorism
Another regime that's several years past its expiry date would happily oblige since such a war would also be its salvation. They'll be able to draw upon nationalistic narratives after their religious ones expired. Take a guess.
A certain terrorist group that's on its last leg and whose douchebag chief shares my surname would also be giddy about such a prospect. Chaos is the environment in which they thrive.
I hope this doesn't come to pass. Its effects on the region would be similar to and probably as severe and long-lasting as the Iraq War was in 2003.
To everyone who reads this, shrugs, and thinks "this is nuts, it can never happen", I have just two words to tell you:

Donald Trump
