What is the long term security arrangement of GCC going to look like after this war? If US is kicked out of the region and China is reluctant to play protector for the middle eastern royalties?
Too early to say.
Lately, I know I have not been reading the news, because it changes too fast. Just watch some commentary from the internet, but that changes too fast too, haha! It is their great leader President Trump and his boot-lickers and his Epstein owners.
Prof John Mearsheimer is probably correct, that a country wants to be a regional hegemon.
Right now, we can probably say there are two, in Israel and Iran.
What Iran has to do is continue the war against those pissant states like UAE and Bahrain. Those countries should be wiped off the map.
Israel cannot protect Saudi Arabia, only the Americans can do that, but they probably will not be around.
That kind of leaves Iraq and Yemen, as places where Iranian influence could be substantial. Kick the crap out of Kuwait too. That should Iran number one objective, wipe out those small states or ensure they are on Iran's side.
Look at the long term view.
Two states that hate each other, both being regional hegemons. There will be a round 3 after this round 2 current and the round 1 in last summer.
For round three, Iran should have less pissant countries to deal with. After all, these pissant countries wanted Iran destroyed.
If there is going to be a round 3, then you want to be in a better position, and not deal with these pissant countries.
The Saudis are afraid, of everyone. Internal, and external. They are a problem too, but they are not a pissant little country.
So Iran should do the right thing. If they are going to do a Chairman Mao on people's asses, then they got to do it right, and eradicate those pissant countries.
It has pass the point of no return.
Iran must demand their people are in charge. No if and or buts.
