Gulf States Image DESTROYED? Why Israel is the REAL Regional Problem
Added:time for the time being.
>> are going to go back?
>> I think my thing is >> so.
>> I think that their image has been permanently destroyed. I don't think you could put it back in the bottle. They had this image specially to kind of white westerners as this business, tourist, even residential utopia. You go there, there's no crime, you chill out, everything's cheaper, etc. etc. Um I think that's gone now. Once once you Iran has done this, I think they've destroyed that image. Now, if you're Amazon or you're whatever it is, Chase Bank, you going to go back into Dubai, Abu Dhabi knowing that Iran can then do this again at any time they want. As long as Iran is still run by the same government, I don't think these Gulf states get that image back. And I think the Qataris understand that, even the Saudis understand that. They want a region, I think privately, and I may be wrong and a few people in the Gulf I speak to say this to me, they recognize that Israel is the real problem in the region. They may they may not say so publicly. Some of them have signed up to the Abraham Accords like Bahrain, etc. Um uh UAE but I think they understand that Israel is the destabilizing force in the region. It's Israel that bombed six countries in the Middle East last year. It wasn't Iran that did that. It's Israel that went to war now and brought the United States into this conflict and led to Iran bombing Kuwait and Qatar and Saudi Arabia and the UAE. And I think that is the situation we're in. I think you're going to see these Gulf states, if they're smart, making overtures to the Chinese and to the Russians in future years. They have to kind of diversify who they rely on.
