People talk about Israel, but if you want a really horrible ally look no further than Saudi Arabia.

EXCLUSIVE: Trump's abrupt U-turn on a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz came after Saudi Arabia suspended U.S. access to its bases and airspace.

Why do you think Trump paraded around the Gulf States and Middle East in 2025? All these petroleum royalty AND Israel were all discussing the Iran plans. They sold Trump on a load of shite that Iran was near regime collapse and just needed a push.

They are arguably in a better spot long term power wise on a worldwide scale.



They proved their strait of Hormuz wasn’t an empty threat.


They have shown they can do it and that we can’t stop them.

You could argue that if you were an epic moron. It would be embarrassing to do so

I’d argue we should have taken kharg island and asserted dominance.



Trump was too chicken.


Trump’s caving thus Iran is winning.



How is that not an assertion of power on a worldwide scale?

If NBC says it then it must be true! There are no examples of the media ever trying to mislead the public to promote the Anti-Trump agenda!

NOT!

Is this the thread where we celebrate Iran winning the war then go masturbate to Nick Fuentes?

I've got my anti-Trump wizard hat ready if it is. You have to be ready for his spells after all.

This aggregated like wildfire. I am going to wait it out. It looks like propaganda.

I saw articles where the arab states wanted Iran cleaned up and the strait opened.

They depend on luxury hotels business and were lobbyists for eliminating Iran...and even worked well with Israel towards the stop Iran goal...

This is fake news to match Trumps hands looking bad and his mental health status again yesterday.

Or SA needs to save face ATM...

I’m going to need further confirmation from sources other than NBC news. Also, if true this isn’t the reason the operation is over which is what NBC wants you to think.

Ryan Grim/Jeremy Scahill/Drop Site has been great during this conflict. But, I'm sure this will be dismissed as fake news.

Israel leeches off of the United States. They are in no way an ally.
