Wow. Did not have that on my weird timeline bingo card! I hope they are trustworthy.

I mean now that they can see the US protection isn't worth the paper it's written on, there's not much other choice.

Precisely. Hopefully. What is the deal with UAE?

It's kind of an artificial state from what I understand. They have a one dimensional economy and they're just propped up by US and Israel as a staging area against Iran and an oil extraction facility. UAE, Bahrain, and Qatar seem like most likely to disintegrate as a result of the war.

Thanks for shedding light on the obvious for me.
