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.
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
They typically are. If there were more politicians with spines, we wouldn’t be in any of these situations, and yes, I do mean any of them. And as we all know, there’s a LOT.

If Trump succeeds he may be forgiven, that’s how it usually goes.
But there’s a very significant risk/chance, that this won’t go well for USA. We can already see how ill prepared they are, especially since this is allegedly planned since November! Already as many patriot missiles have been used, as Ukraine have gotten through 4 years of war with Russia. It’s an insane way to prioritize help to Israel over Ukraine!!Compared to desert storm, this is amateur hour. Maybe a president with severe dementia isn’t the best commander in chief?
I’m curious what you mean by “succeed” here. I’m assuming not “Trump holds a press conference says he’s done and sells some questionable statements as why”. I’m assuming you have something more concrete but I’m not sure what it is. Levelling the place like what happened in Palestine? Sending in the army to help with a regime change like they did in Iraq? Waking up tomorrow and there is a pro-US christian government in place that’s sycophantic to Trump?
You are right, I don’t give a shit about what Trump or the white house may say. And I think by far the most people don’t either.
Succeed is by the definitions stated for the attack, a regime change in Iran to something more US friendly, and a stop to Iran supported terrorism.
Claiming a stop of the development of nukes is purely propaganda, because Iran had already agreed to that.
I’m statesian and i don’t know how tf we are supposed to succeed in any of this iran war bullshit. Surrendering now immediately and giving them Krasnov? Best option for everyone involved, but that is so improbable that only krasnov has mentioned total surrender and he always chickens out.
Well stop being allies then!
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.
Bullshit. They’re asshurt for betting on the wrong horse, thinking Trump would defend them while Israel has him by the balls.
Do the basics and stop letting them have bases on your territory to terrorize your neighbors then.
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.
Relax, guy!
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.
Well yeah because the United States doesn’t give a fuck about the GCC countries, half of them won’t exist after this war.
They were allies to the US but MAGA took over and they should change that or they’ll continue to get fucked
