…. before we ever started.?

They (Like maybe Qatar/SA/Kuwait) start start bombing Iran.
Then what would the public say to Trump?


Would they want him to go fix the strait so gas would go down?
Or tell him stay out of it?


Would they say: “Thank G-d he toppled Venezuela before our allies started in on the strait or gas would be $9/gal”

Those gulf allies will not do anything. Upon the request of SA did we stop bombing.

They do not want their infrastructure bombed. They are weak militarily.

They won't. They are perfectly content to let us spend our equipment, munitions and lives in their place.

I’m not Asking if they would. I’m asking if they did what would be your reaction?

What would you want our involvement to be if they did.

Spend hundreds of billions more paying for “weapons “ that are in low or zero supply.

If the situation with Iran and Houti's was completely and competently resolved the World would be a safer and cheaper place to live. Think of it as an economic measure without 10 wishful ceasefires. Barbarians should be dealt with barbaric means, no matter what the Gulf Allies do to Iran.

My reaction is that I'd be legitimately shocked if it happened. The Arab states would much rather turn their military on Israel than each other.

As far as our involvement level, I'd prefer it to be zero, though realistically we'd likely be involved selling/giving them weapons similar to how we've approached Ukraine.

The ME countries have a combined 600 plus fighter jets. They could handle Iran at this point. After the US has weakened Iran.

They can barely field a platoon of willing fighters. When you make millions from exports, the general person there would rather roll his McLaren on the beach than fight a real war to kill you. Plus they've been paying Iran for protection all these years; that's why the IRGC fired missiles at them when the money stopped.

The Gulf Arabs would lose pretty badly without US support.

Your typical male citizen of those countries has never even had to make his own bed. Are you fricking serious?
