This is not my opinion this a historical fact. It was US and Gulf Arab alliance that won the previous Cold war. and if they join again than it is game over for rest of the world as now they have India, Africa and completely vassal Europe, Asia.Then the US is like a God and Arabs are their offspring Demigods of the world in your opinion?
in first Cold war Boeing was dealing with one real widebody plane now Boeing has 4 with even more modifications in each category. 777X is sufficiently different than 777. This what Arab measures. they throw bone to French aka Rafale due to Airbus. There are about 2000 combat aircraft in this Mideast region that will work in sync. and those are real aircraft with potential like with CFTs and large 600 gallon tanks. You can start from Kashmir and end up in Casablanca and everything down under this is what Arab control. Gulf Arab dominance over rest of muslim world is core Russia interest. I mean South Korea GCC signed free trade agreement and now Russia looking for relations with them. This is what following Soft Power of Arabs do.
Russian Ambassador to Korea: “Relationships can be restored if Korea does not provide weapons to Ukraine
Ambassador Zinoviev emphasized, "As long as the Korean side does not cross the red line, we are willing to consider Korea as a future partner, and the relationship between the two countries will not be seriously damaged." At the same time, he explained that the red line set by Russia is that Korea directly delivers weapons to Ukraine.
