The Mecca Joint Defence Agreement – the pact between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Turkiye signed in August – has been described inaccurately by Andrew Korybko and others as “the Muslim NATO”.

It looks like some Ulsterish elements have decided upon a replay at Drumcree and a “once more to the brink dear friends” event.
