The current US war on Iran has exposed the duplicity, and lack of any kind of integrity of the gulf Arab state regimes.
What for some time was an attempt to reconcile with Iran and re-establish relations, was but a futile, hollow gesture.
After the US and zionists launched the war on Iran, those gulf Arab states lined up behind these two, and allowed their land and resources to be used in the aggression.
Iran has responded by targeting these states oil production and storage facilities, as well as any infrastructure supporting the US military presence in those countries.
The result has been massive damage to US bases, and the crippling of the gulf Arab states oil production and shipping capabilities due to Iran closing off the Strait of Hormuz to ships of unfriendly countries.
Now that the damage has been done, these gulf Arab states regimes and plastic sheikhs are angry at Iran, and are demanding that Iran stop its bombings, and are blaming Iran for their misfortune. These statelets have already ended relations with Iran and ordered Iranian diplomats to leave.
Yet, there is no demand for US diplomats and military to leave, even though the US initiated this war and brought this destruction upon these states; and even though the US left them in a lurch after the much vaunted US air defense systems these statelets bought proved ineffective against Iranian drones and missiles. After they started to run out of interceptor missiles, the US regime told them that they have no more to sell, as defending israel was their priority.
Some of these gulf Arab states have only doubled down on their support for the US and their hatred of Iran, and are still allowing their territory to be used to launch attacks on Iran.
The gulf Arab ruling regimes' attitude is driven by two factors – arrogance and jealousy.
Decades of colluding with the US in the petrodollar system allowed the US to worm itself into the fabric of these societies.
The US got the ruling elites in these countries to buy oil for dollars, then recycle these dollars into US investments, Wall St., and multi-billion-dollar contracts, and over-hyped US weapons systems for the ultimate benefit of US corporations.
In return, the US would ‘protect’ these regimes.
But that protection, along with all the military hardware and promises, turned out to be a hollow farce; a con-job.
US has shown in the last 30 days that it cannot protect these Arab states. It cannot even protect itself from the consequences of devastating Iranian missile launchers that have rendered almost all US bases in the middle east unusable.
The plastic desert sheiks became too arrogant, and thought nothing could touch them since the US ‘had their back.’
Now, the cold and ugly reality has dawned on them that the US lied to, and used them. Now, they are blaming Iran for this own stupidity and shortsightedness.
Because instead of using their oil revenues to truly uplift their societies, make them self-reliant, and give them a meaningful future to focus on, these stupid sheiks basically gave the west the keys to the kingdom, and let them manage pretty much everything.
The result of this ‘cooperation’ was none other than Dubai, a plastic desert shopping mall/whorehouse built by western shysters with Arab oil money.
Now, that hyped-up, artificial Dubai wonder culture is gone.
These Arab oil-doms, with their fake, foreign imposed ways and structures were never viable states. Their only selling point was oil, and everything they supposedly built was underpinned by this. There was nothing of any substance there other than oil wealth.
Almost everything had to be shipped in, including food. With shipping in the Hormuz Strait stalled, starvation is a real danger, especially when it comes to water.
Meanwhile, Iran under sanctions has developed a resilient, self-reliant economy and technical prowess that these gulf Arab sheikhdoms can only dream about.
They watched Iran become formidable and capable, and got jealous and resentful. So they started colluding with the US to undercut and eliminate Iranian influence and power in every way. And they complained the whole way how Iran is a threat to them. But they just don't want to see a regional country set a good, independent example not based on US patronage, because then the citizenry of those gulf Arab statelets may start wondering, and the plastic sheiks will get dumped in favor of someone who gives a shit.
These plastic sheiks need to realize that the US is there for its own reasons, not to protect and help them. US only cares to help israel in the region, at sheiks expense.
These gulf Arab states were also one of the primary drivers and financiers of the Syrian uprising during the last decade. They conspired with the US and israel in committing acts of terrorism and sabotage against Iran for years.
Now, these sheikdoms dare to whine and cry because Iran is targeting them for years of malfeasance?
They should have thought about the consequences of this before they allowed themselves to be suckered into these evil schemes against Iran by the US, israel, and other scumbag western actors, like the UK, Germany, and France.
The era of the sheikhs undeserved oil wealth is over, and none of them deserve it anymore. They used this wealth for shallow and nefarious purposes, and in the end lost it all.
The plastic desert shopping mall called Dubai and the others will have to make do with much less, and be more modest, as future oil sales will not be in dollars, and Iran will be putting a passage toll on any oil tankers that go to and from these gulf Arab statelets.
Maybe they can cut a deal with Iranians to not have to pay financial price for the right of passage, but they will have to pay some kind of a price, and that will undoubtedly include a demand to stop all military basing and cooperation with US, israel, and NATO.
The gulf Arab sheikhdoms have pissed away their future by bedding down with the US-made Epstein class and its disgusting and aberrant ideas and policies.
