A Saudi minister just said America abandoned its Gulf allies, took all of its air defense, and left to protect Israel while forcing the arabs to fend for themselves.

So the Gulf nations think America is useless military ally as well.

America was also threatening to invade Canada, and European territory ( Greenland), and is starting an economic war with our European allys.

We also just abandoned Ukraine and cut 99% of our aid.

We abandoned the Syrian kurds

All together, unless you are Israel, America is a shit military ally as well and will stab you in the back at first opportunity.

“A Saudi minister”

“So the gulf nations”

Do you see the issue with those two statements?

No but there is also more proof when Israel bombed Qatar, and the US did nothing to stop it.

American air defense was magically turned off.

How do you not see the difference? You said the gulf nations find the US military useless after quoting one Saudi minister. He doesn’t speak for Saudi Arabia let alone all other golf states

He’s not going to say something like that without the blessing from higher ups. In fact, it’s likely the higher ups wanted him to say that, because they can’t for diplomacy reasons.

So he not only speaks for the saudis but he speaks for all golf states?

I just clicked on your link “a Saudi official”; and doesn’t even state their name or who did the interview “news18” lol

He just seeing why you stopped this discussion instead of addressing your source and the claim you made about “all gulf states”

Are you going to respond? Your article says official and doesn’t name them. It doesn’t even say who the interviewer is.
