Analysis of Saudi Arabia's Regional Strategy
You know, we first have to ask ourselves who are these countries that the Saudi regime would like to cooperate with against Iran.
Is it Qatar?
It has a population of, what, 400,000?
Is it the Emirates with a population of 1 million?
If these desert countries, if their critical infrastructure is destroyed, can anyone even stay there?
The same is true with Saudi Arabia. If its critical infrastructure is destroyed,
can the country survive as a single country or will it break up into small pieces?
So, you have Yemen, which is a civilization state, to the south and southwest.
You have Iraq, which is a civilization state, to the north, with a large population.
You have the Islamic Republic of Iran,
which of course is obvious to everyone. And then, also, let's look at popular opinion across the region and across the world.
Despite the propaganda coming from the Qatari media empire and the Saudi media empire and the Emirati media empire,
despite all these years of promoting racial hatred, sectarian hatred,
religious hatred, disinformation about Iran and the axis of resistance,
who are the people across the region cheering for?
Are they cheering for the American side or are they cheering for the resistance?
So do these regimes, do these family dictatorships with all those vulnerabilities that I mentioned have popular support?
Of course not.
And of course all that wealth that they've been using to pursue U.S. policies and destructive policies across the region and beyond,
that wealth will be swept away if those oil and gas assets are destroyed.
So the Saudis are in no position to wage war.
The Saudis have already lost the war against Yemen, despite years of genocidal war when they had the support of the entire region except for Iran.
When Turkey was supporting the genocide, when Qatar was supporting the genocide, when everyone was on the side of the Saudis and the Emiratis, and the entire West was helping them strangle Yemen,
starve Yemen.
Did the Saudis win the war?
Did the Emiratis win the war despite hiring tens of thousands of mercenaries to do their fighting for them? Did they win the war? They
lost. Yemen today is stronger than it was back then. They defeated the United States in war.
Yemen today is stronger than it was when it defeated the United States too.
And then you have Iraq.
So the Saudis are in no position, as Scott rightly pointed out, this is suicidal.
Instead of choosing the smart path and the moral path by trying to bring convergence among countries in the region, to strengthen the region against the Israeli regime which wants to create the greater Israel,
the Saudis are remaining in Trump's camp?
This man whose mind is not totally sane?
As Scott pointed out, one day he says one thing, the next day he says something else, I'll go further.
One minute he says something, the next minute he'll say something else. Is
that what the Saudis want to bind themselves to?
Do they want to bind themselves to the U.S. government whose ambassador to the Israeli regime says if the Israeli regime takes the entire region, that's fine with us?
Do they want to bind themselves to that instead of having a good relationship with Yemen,
Iraq and Iran and Hezbollah and the resistance to bring about a strong region and to weaken the Israeli regime?
Just as Scott said that there's no reason and logic in what Trump does, in this era we're not seeing reason and logic among U.S. proxies in the region either.
