Omen

Is it a good omen, is it a bad omen? At this moment I am interpreting the jaw-dropping footage of a giant Emirati commercial jet appearing "out of nowhere" at Gatwick Airport as a good omen, but we'll find out soon enough just how committed MbZ really is to bringing peace to the Middle East. 

For the curmudgeons here is a somewhat lengthy analysis at Bloomberg, published July 31 (ages ago in the fast-moving news cycle), which is still helpful background on the UAE leader's seemingly changing views on conflicts in the ME.  Plus the report features two clear maps. 

Anyhow, for those who haven't yet seen the video, which went viral, enjoy! For more on how the footage was shot, see this report at RT.
