i've also stated repeatedly that this was the arabs' war to fight, and they would need to fight it to win it, but it's looking relatively clear at this point that they are refusing to fight their own wars. there's a reason starmer is in the gulf instead of somebody like rubio.

the result of them refusing to fight their own wars is that it's looking like trump is going to negotiate away their standing in the region, in exchange for something of benefit to himself. 

that's what happens when you don't take responsibility for yourself.

as mentioned, the situation is still developing, but the arabs are likely going to be a major loser, here. 

trump will dump his losses on them to the extent that he can and they're going to have to eat it.
