Gulf States Discover US 'Security' Has an Expiration Date
Mainstream outlets suddenly realize Gulf states might rethink their 'reliance' on the U.S. after decades of Washington selling weapons to the region, often with strings attached benefiting Israel. This 'reconsideration' comes not from a sudden burst of self-awareness, but from the U.S.'s consistent prioritization of Israeli interests, even when it directly undermines regional stability or its own
stated foreign policy goals. One might wonder if selling billions in F-35s while simultaneously bombing your 'allies' in Syria tends to erode trust. Remember when the U.S. 'partnered' with these nations, only to pivot hard towards the Abraham Accords, leaving traditional alliances in the dust? This isn't newfound pragmatism; it’s the logical outcome of a foreign policy driven more by AIPAC's
demands than actual national security interests, as evidenced by politicians like Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) – who faced foreign influence charges – consistently green-lighting arms sales to Israel while stifling any criticism. The only 'security' the U.S. has consistently offered is to Israel's qualitative military edge, not its supposed Arab allies.
