Trump is illiterate and what passes for US history with him is another marketing spiel to provide an excuse for his corrupt dealings and lust for power.

Because they've signed treaties with Israel making that very clear.

They give lip service to Arab solidarity, but they actually fear it.

If they get pulled in and actually commit, Israel would be wiped off the map.

They're on the same side, so why would they do that? Anyway, the military power of the Gulf statelets, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia is barely sufficient to sustain their genocide against the dirt-poor Houthis, let alone to attack a hard target like Israel. Tehy spend far more money spying on and repressing their own people.

They should be drawn in, they've been colluding with Israel to destroy Iran for at least a decade.

The Gulf states are controlled by Sunnis who are fanatically bigoted against Shi'a Muslims and other minority sects, and persecute those groups mercilessly. Iran is the center of Shi'a power.

Also, the Gulfies and the Israelis have a common interest in preventing democracy from being established in Arab countries. The Israelis know that despots are easier to buy off. The Gulfies despise groups with democratic aspirations since they oppose reactionary theocracy and corruption.

Not quite the same as massacring starving people who can't fight back, is it?

I mean, fuck the mullahs, but how often has Iran invaded any other country in the past century? I believe that number is zero. Compare that to Israel's assaults on its neighbors and the massive civilian casualties that those assaults caused.

And who was the idiot who abrogated the US nuclear non-proliferation treaty with Iran? Oh yeah, it was Trump in his first term.

So he's too stupid to know about the royal "we."

That figures.

Needs more "sir."

So, a good start, then.

When the pendulum swings and Johnson is facing the people's justice, remember this.

How is it possible to disrespect a dog-killer?
