I know, it just explains why the entity is getting away with Operation Ceasefire
These gulf comprador regimes exist to serve British/American interests so their interests and ideology are tied to hegemony of the west being maintained within the region
UAE must lead the world in anglophone tax dodgers per capita.
In their arrogance they assumed they can welch on the MoU without suffering significant Iranian retaliation. The Entity is the most important nodding donkey America's been operating in the middle east, 80 years of investment. It's part of their identity and they need to be convinced the well is dry before they dismantle it.
As with anything they stand by, they don't even know or care what "western values" (for what they're worth) are. It's one of their supremacist rallying calls.
That's not masses. I hope they don't stub their toes.

How many soldiers are on those?
Man in charge of military with no missiles left oscillates on whether or not to go to war for the 19th time.
I wouldn't link TLDR News here. Even this one is keeping on brand with their die hard liberalist/pro-us/trump-ambivalent content:

I don't have faith in their "new deal"
And a wave of libs will cling to these "overseas electorate" results when they need something to bash the resistance with.
