Oh yes, the Middle East is pretty much the reason for my “usually”s and “mostly”s there.

Could someone bring me up to speed on the Middle East? Are they not getting along over there?

You could say that - they have been up to a few squabbles as of late, kerfuffles even.

I am sure it is nothing too serious, it will be over as quickly as it started and the region will soon be as peaceful as always.

Ironically, the modern Middle East is almost entirely a creation of WWI and its immediate aftermath when the Ottoman Empire was carved up by the victorious Allies.
