"Good people of Saudi Arabia, cast off your chains and take back your country from the evil regime which oppresses you. Now is the window of opportunity."

[–] romaselli@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 12 hours ago

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.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 23 points 13 hours ago

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

[–] trompete@hexbear.net 60 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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.

making the US look unreliable and uncaring

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

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 22 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

Is there an equivalent of “no shit” in Farsi? Because that

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 53 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

So the u.s. literally can't even protect multiple locations in a region huh man i wouldn't be starting a war in that case

[–] goferking0 13 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Can't or won't? Feels a lot more like won't

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 15 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

When i see headlines that make it sound like the U.S. has "weeks" worth of munitions it has me really thinking "can't"

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 8 points 11 hours ago

Trump assuaged those fears by commenting "we have a lot of ammunition, we have so much ammunition, really, we have it stored in stockpiles all over the world" or something to that effect

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 13 points 14 hours ago

Can't and won't

Honestly surprised iran didn't blow up all those saudi and emirati oil rigs. They'll blow up from a stiff breeze and it would be hard to defend them all even if you gave a rat's ass about doing so.

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 26 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Saudi Arabia folded like a cheap chair the moment Yemen targeted their oil (fields? refineries?); they shouldn't try pushing their luck with a much more capable threat

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 14 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Iran should just ignore Israel and the OS and just concentrate on the Saudi’s and beat up their band of amateurs

[–] ExotiqueMatter@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Israel and the OS

The OS soldier

And so they will beg the US to save them instead of realising the US don't give a shit about them
