This is the start of a huge rift between the US and every single vassal state in the Middle East except for Israel.
We'll see, the monarchies in power couldn't care less about their citizens getting whacked in these attacks, it is in the people's hands to exert pressure on the monarchs.
would be funny if all these gulf monarchies have republican revolutions when they were trying to have a monarchist revolution in Iran.
one can hope but i think most of them will crawl back, just like the EU
Let's hope so. Regardless seems like a smart move to attack there. Apart from hurting these bootlicker's interests and reputations, and making the US look unreliable and uncaring, it's also apparently really easy.
Every time I wonder how Middle Eastern countries actually think America's on their side, I'm reminded of Europe putting their leashes back on less than a year after Trump was talking about taking Greenland
A year? More like a month!
Let’s see European countries get directly bombed because America dragged them into a war and see if they put the leash back on that fast…
My vote is we start with Britain.
let's see how stiff that upper lip really is
Just like Israel wanted.
