Deliberately or not, Washington and its allies' approval of the war the Sunni coalition is waging
against the Houthis of Yemen has intensified the Sunni-Shia standoff thus pushing the region
closer to the quagmire of never ending religious clashes.
Russia, in its turn, is convinced that the events unfolding in the region should not be reduced to
the Sunni-Shia disagreements. This approach simplifies the situation and might provoke a full-

national" that has neither nationality nor citizenship. All forces of the civilized world should
fight it everywhere and act together. Political disagreements and narrow state interests should
be pushed aside.
