The Middle East is in trouble

Obviously. There's a couple articles out there that seem to point to an increase in that trouble as a result of persistently low levels of engagement on the part of the current administration. It seems the lack of superpower oversight results in uncoordinated efforts by lesser powers. Maybe not such a bad thing but it certainly is a change from the norm.
