There is media confusion about what is going on in Yemen and the broader Middle East. Pundits are pointing out that the US is looking schizophrenic with policies that back opposite sides of the fight against al-Qaeda-style extremism in Iraq and in Yemen. But it isnt that hard to understand the divergent policies once you comprehend the underlying drivers of the fight brewing in the region. No, it isnt a battle between Shia and Sunni, Iranian and Arab or the much-ballyhooed Iran-Saudi stand-off. Yes, these narratives have played a part in defining sides, but often only in the most simplistic fashion, to rally constituencies behind a policy objective. And they do often reflect some truth. http://rt.com/op-edge/245585-us-yemen-policies-middle-east/ Yemen is just a playball for two big Daddy gamers with a great number of team members from both sides. There is a much more harder situation then in Ukraine. Would it be the reason of a world conflict? We may ask those Daddies...
