@Lightfighter@infosec.exchange @artemis@dice.camp the existence of all these Gulf States itself is called into question without US military presence, these despoted oil monarchies don’t have popular support or competent commanders ( their office core are nepo babies playing soldiers ) But yeah future US military presence in the Gulf is basically untenable, has been for 2 months now, and the state dept aligned media cannot admit this, that the war is lost so they’re going to keep making disastrous decisions based on the false notion that the US is even in a position to carry out a military campaign
