I’m sure they’re concerned about civil unrest as the retaliatory bombing continues, but they’re more concerned about their pocketbook and the risk of the Strait being closed by Iran on a whimsy

Then again, long term Strait closure will accelerate the process of replacing Arab oil.

We have obscenely rich clans all fighting each other; Israel, Saudi, UAE, Iran, and we’re going to use broke-ass, lied-to disrespected American kids to prosecute this tribal desert skirmish on behalf of these child-molesting, entitled, obnoxious, adolescent people. Fuck them. Let them use their own blood and treasure. I am not an ally of any of these goons in stupid hats. I am not willing to help any of them do anything except stop the war.
