If I'm angry it's like 10% angry, the rest is just sad. But what I'm talking about is nothing radical. This is what the likely scenario is in the long run.
As I said the current American world order will eventually collapse, sooner or later, because no empire stands forever. If that day comes, you will see these Mid-East countries suddenly finding themselves scrambling for control. You will see for example, a re-ignition of the long Turko-Egypt rivalry, or Saudi-Iranian competition, but these times due to the fact there is no world police around to put things in place, things tend to get violent and excessive. ie, war.
In that scenario the traditional nation-state concept we have known since the 19th century could collapse because nobody is enforcing it anymore. Iraq could just again move to occupy Kuwait and there will be no Desert Storm 2.0 to kick them back out. In short a modern version of medieval power at play. Where the strongest most cunning country win.
Just like all wars, eventually winners came out on top, and because the fracture of conflict, rulers will seek legitimacy, and again I say this, What better way to seek legitimacy other than the conquest of Jerusalem ? This is especially true in that part of the world.
Let me give you an example, we all know Saladin, known for his recapture of Jerusalem from the Crusading states, what we don't know is before that, he actually goes to war with fellow muslim state. His campaign against the Fatimid in Egypt.
This is the likely scenario once the Americans are out, with countries or even warlords trying to seek control and eventually legitimacy.
Imagine you are a ruler of a hypothetical Arab superstate at that time and you want to cement your legacy, what would you do ? pay for a propaganda campaign using bots and influencers...or just rally people to capture Jerusalem and sell the idea of conquest and vengeance.
I think if history has something to teach, it's the latter. And we know violence could swoosh out of control. Back in the day, there's only oral tradition to lit people's anger and provoke/rally them. Imagine yourself a citizen or even a soldier during this hypothetical times seeing image like this from the past.

Isn't there anything more sweet other than an equal or even disproportionate response knowing full well that these criminals are now vulnerable and without protection?
There could be Holocaust 2.0
