NYT:
"Breaking News: Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia pushed President Trump to continue the war against Iran, people briefed on the conversations said."
Emile Hokayem:
"Two major risks for the Gulf states if they join the campaign (as opposed to just telling the US to continue and ‘finish the job’):
- unhinged Iranian retaliation;
- one or more Gulf states go in and then the US pulls out, leaving them in the cold.
My thinking:
US pulls out - GCC countries capital pulls out. And orange dictator likes market in green.
So while foreign policy is for sale, trump will likely to continue to sacrifice young men to death to fight corrupt wars for highest bidders.
