The Trump administration is confronting mounting discontent from allies in the Persian Gulf who have complained they were not given adequate time to prepare for the torrent of Iranian drones and missiles bombarding their countries in retaliation for strikes launched by the U.S. and Israel.
Officials from two Gulf countries said their governments were disappointed in the way the U.S. has handled the war, particularly the initial attack on Iran last Saturday. They said their countries were not given advance notice of the U.S.-Israeli attack and complained the U.S. had ignored their warnings that the war would have devastating consequences for the entire region.
Relax, guy!
Oh, we know.
We saw the planes falling out of the sky over Kuwait.
Clearly this was about as well-planned as any of Donald’s “business” ventures.
Well yeah because the United States doesn’t give a fuck about the GCC countries, half of them won’t exist after this war.
Hilarious that Gulf Arabs think they are equals to a Western imperial power rather than just privileged vassals.
Iran is giving them a cold dose of reality.
had ignored their warnings that the war would have devastating consequences for the entire region.
That’s… They point? Hit the wasps nest and loot the remains.
Well stop being allies then!
We’re gonna lose military bases over this, and likely never get them back
Bibi wants to go back to being our only option over there, and he’s clearly willing to make everyone else hate America to accomplish that.
Because Bibi wants to wipe them all out, and he can’t do that why they host US bases
Bibi wants to go back to being our only option over there, and he’s clearly willing to make everyone else hate America to accomplish that
The US doesn’t need any help on that front.
The countries that were giving trump planes a year ago are now “rethinking their investments in regards to America”.
I guarantee without Bibi those countries would still have a positive view of trump
Rationale companies already hated him, this is making far right authoritarian dictators hate him too.
Leaving Israel as our only ally in the region in an attempt to guarantee support even after trump leaves office.
We see a lot of hand-wringing from Democrats, it’ll at least be interesting to see if every government in the world is equally impotent in the face of catastrophe
