ROB gives the US invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq a bit of a boost.

The various behind the curtain powers from Dune make all of Earth's alphabet soup agencies look like so many toddlers throwing a hissy fit.

Yeah but then the libs will say Paul is a white supremacist and get him cancelled.

He and his rogue Bene Gesserit relatives can infiltrate them and turn the whole movement inside out, one BG side business is the manipulation and I filtration of religious groups, with the end result being their complete take over and the reshaping of their entire culture to serve the Sisterhood's plans.

Ewwww who would want to infiltrate lib culture?

I can see Aliyah infiltrating any of a number of Churches. It'd be even funnier if she took over the Muslim world from within...just for irony's sake.

 

[Agent23]

Fair. What number book was that?

4.
You actually see what the point to a log of what was going on was.

Only problem is they can't make more reverend mothers without the water of life, oh, wait, I am OP and just forgot that, they get it at whatever rates they did before.

Fremen do not used schields.On desert with worms it was suicide.

Well yes on the desert it is suicide but Arrakis does have cities that are safe from worms, so they could have shields there.

But yeah @Agent23 more likely Paul is going to be against the U.S. interests since he will be making an empire and the U.S. Imperial interests in the area don't want a unified middle east. And Paul has coopted religious messianic symbols for himself. He became Muadib for the Fremen, it's not too far of a stretch for him to try and become the Mahdi, the two archetypes are close enough for each other.

ROB has decided who is allied with who, ROB has spoken.

Fair enough but how are they going to be allied? Will America support Paul’s empire or will Paul not make an empire?

The Fremen are what is left form the so called Zensunni wonderers/exiles.
Zen Sunni.
In theory they can be seen as a weirdo sect of Islam, something akin to how the Mormons would have been perceived by the middle ages pope, I suppose.

Worms are not tech, and given sand trout life cycle having worms on Earth will Duneify it.

No, they get a sufficient supply of melange through magic.

Horses are certainly a tech we bred them for thousands of years for warfare and economic activity. Why are the worms different? See also dogs,cattle,goats,and basically any domesticated animals.

No one bred the worms or tamed them, well, except maybe Leto II, but thet is another story.

They are in a symbiotic/parasitic relationship with humanity.
But tech, no, not really.
They see it as an embodiment of god, not just a beast of burden.

Both sides will trust each other to the fullest and not fuck each other over, but they are only allied for the scope of this conflict.

And that is about it, use your imagination.
