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.
I would imagine the U.S. is like a grizzly bear: Occasionally, it mauls you, but it’s somewhat better to be an ally than to be its prey.
Trump has made clear America has no allies, only proxies and supplicants.
The one exception is israel and that’s because of the capture of US media, politics and business by Zionist fanatics
Everybody knows that in international politics there are no friends, only interests. That’s not news.
What Trump is doing new is that he’s not furthering American interests but actually heavily damaging them. You can’t trust crazy people, even if your interests align, because they might do this: act against their own interests. Makes them an impossible partner.
The Epstein-Trump criminal syndicate was an Israeli-American intelligence operation. That’s the ONLY scenario where all of this makes sense. That’s the only scenario where all of this, including the American Nazi parties rise to power, lead by the Epstein class, was allowed to happen.
There is no chance in hell these “intelligence” agencies weren’t complicit in the worlds most high-profile corporate oligarchs, billionaires, and royalty frequenting a pedo-brothel for more than 2 decades. We already know they had mountains of evidence for most of that time. They’re the only ones who have visibility of, and could cease all law enforcement investigations of, all perpetrators across the developed world. Epstein used unencrypted gmail comms to discuss their crimes because they knew they were protected by the overarching surveillance apparatus.
Yeah but now that the bear has found the meth cache it’s becoming less and less bearable…
Once upon a time USA was a rational actor. Now not so much.
