Thank you for the kind words. I'm also happy to see you on this forum and i look forward to your contributions and comments. I already like how you write and think. The amazing this is that i feel i've been "reading" about certain big political and military changes and transformations in the ME, and while they didnt happen then, i feel i am seeing them happening NOw, live and direct. I didnt believe i would see physical real demonstrations and confirmation of some changes in the PG and the political balance there.Welcome back, i have been waiting for your ban to end since i have joined the forums. I was a silent reader for a long time on this forum and really liked your posts.
Well worded. I agree.Well this is an international forum with the name of pakistan in it, and when they have sections for other countries as well as international mods, they should treat everyone equally.
I once heard a US general say that the only thing saudi military is capable of doing is to fight against my country's people and they wont be able to survive any war against even the smallest countries without the US support. Money cant buy you manpower or courage, and the saudis currently have more military equipment than soldiers to operate them all. And even trump himself said that the saudi cant survive a minute without US support thats why they have to pay the US constantly to stay alive. And a shift in power has occurred in the gulf, UAE, oman, kuwait, qatar and iraq have signed deals with iran so that iran can protect their interests in the region, the reason for this is that the US said its no longer interested in the gulf or its oil and its going to reduce its military activity in the region and just focus on protecting ships belonging to the US or its alias, and trump said if they want protection they have to pay, so the arab countries turned to iran, now just my country and saudi are left that are pro US in the gulf.
The changes and realities i am seeing in the Persian gulf in the past 2-4 months has really turned over the head what we knew and assumed from 1-10(or even 30+) years ago. Like @BlueInGreen2 correctly pointed out- Some were saying for at least 2 decades that Iranian weaponry were fake and old, but after Iran used them a bunch of times, they went quiet. thats facts and cold reality. Even i had subconsciously believed Iran didn't have good weapons, but when i look at the history recently, Iran has shown it is ready for action and no other country has said otherwise. that's cold facts. till this day US is looking for "security" partners to patrol the Persian Gulf. For one, we all know the US doesn't need ships of other countries.
You know, am thinking Trump wants to not actually fight Iran + withdraw troops from Afghanistan in order to free them up for potential, partially brewing China war and cold war. Its just my strong suspicion. I actually believe Russia and China are making NATO commit more US troops to defending weaker NATO members.
