Barraged by Iranian attacks and questioning the value of security ties with the United States, nations in the Gulf have turned to Ukraine, Australia and Italy for help.
It took only a few days of Iranian attacks before the Persian Gulf states, which have long relied on American security guarantees, decided they needed more help.
Despite the presence of major U.S. bases, or because of them, Iran fired a barrage of missiles and drones at the Gulf. And the costly American-made interceptors these nations relied on were in short supply globally.
So Saudi Arabia reached out to Ukraine, a nation with experience fending off Russian drones modeled on Iranian ones. The United Arab Emirates got help from France and Australia. And several Gulf governments asked Italy to provide anti-drone and antiaircraft systems.
The Gulf’s authoritarian leaders, close American allies, have long questioned the value of their American security guarantees. Now, they are in the cross hairs of a regional war that their ally, the United States, started. And complaints about the limited value of American protection are growing louder.
imagine I hire a body gaurd into my house for protection. then I found out he started attacking my neighbor because his girlfriend was a bigoted genocidal pos who never want anyone to stand up to her when she goes around the neigborhood killing people and taking their possesions. Then my bodygaurd and his gf both went on and burned my neighbor’s entire house and killed his dad and aunts and kids… Then my neighbor’s son whose whole family and home were analiated started attacking and burning the rooms where he saw my bodugaurd stay in my house.
how much of a bitch would I be to not kick my shitty bodygaurd out immediately and even make him pay for everything? The pathetic GCC US-puppet states in this senario were not only not able to kick out or fire their bodygaurd; they continue to pay him whatever his psycho racist girlfriend demands as they both continue to burn my house down and asking for more killing and destruction to my house and neighbor. These family dictatorships are disgustingly pathetic beyond imagination
