Middle East 'Allies' Urge Trump to Delay Iran Strikes; History Remembers the Other Delays
According to the article, an anonymous Arab diplomat suggests cautious patience regarding Iran. This sentiment is rarely extended when it comes to, say, Gaza. It’s almost as if 'allies' like Saudi Arabia or the UAE, who spent billions on US weaponry (Lockheed Martin's stock, for example, often surges with regional tensions), prefer their wars to be pre-planned and profitable, rather than impulsive
and Trumpian. One might recall similar 'strategic delays' before the Iraq War, where every pause allowed more time to build public consensus for a disastrous invasion, often fueled by think tanks funded precisely by these 'allies' and defense contractors. The media frames this as diplomatic prudence. We see it as a familiar slow-roll maneuver, a controlled demolition of regional stability
carefully choreographed for maximum yield. The very same 'allies' who reportedly urge restraint are often the ones quietly funding groups that destabilize the region, setting the stage for future interventions and, naturally, future arms sales. It leaves one wondering: how many more 'delays' until the next inevitable 'necessary intervention' becomes the only acceptable policy?
