This is the start of a huge rift between the US and every single vassal state in the Middle East except for Israel.

[-] trompete@hexbear.net 62 points 2 months ago

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

[-] PentaBear@hexbear.net 51 points 2 months ago

A year? More like a month!

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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

[-] huf@hexbear.net 53 points 2 months ago

one can hope but i think most of them will crawl back, just like the EU

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 27 points 2 months ago

would be funny if all these gulf monarchies have republican revolutions when they were trying to have a monarchist revolution in Iran.

monarchist revolution

this is making my head ache

[-] crusa187@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 months ago

Just like Israel wanted.

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@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 2 months ago

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

[-] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 19 points 2 months ago

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 10 points 2 months 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 15 points 2 months ago

Can't and won't

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

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 27 points 2 months ago

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 15 points 2 months ago

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 16 points 2 months ago

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

Why are they broadcasting this? Do they want to get bombed?
