In the case of more or less significant fight whoever wins - you are dead (given dependency on de-salination plants for their very survival for many Gulf states). Or you can become really neutral (including arrest of American forces) and survive. And, given example of Ukraine, smart Arabs don't think "Should we ask Americans to protect us?" They think "What can we do to not allow Americans protect us?"
Iran isn't "killing" anyone. Not on a large scale, not at this time.
Actually it's a cauldron and the water is warming.
No, it's not. This will not be a long war.
It depends on theor understanding of your reasons.
No, it doesn't. One side is reasonable and one side is not. You will see which side gets the support of the bystanders. Hint, it won't be you or Iran.
As well as neither Russians nor Iranians are bloodthristy monsters who kill people for no reason. They are allies of America and America attacked Iran. They can leave the alliance and survive or keep fighting and finally die out.
Yeah, keep threatening them with "die out". That will prove that you are not bloodthirsty monsters.
You know, you guys used to be better at this.
Ever heard about Hezbollah? They are Sunni guys and Iranian proxies. Or about Houthis who are Zaydists? Iranians are wise, pragmatic and tolerant guys (especially comparing with Americans). They can work with anybody.
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,
Sure buddy.
Listen, I know what it is like to grasp at straws.... Though it has been a long time since I have done so.
Listen closely. COPING, is a way to deal with bad situations, EMOTIONALLY.
It doesn't actually SOLVE any problems.
To SOLVE problems, you need to face them realistically. And then make hard choices.
Your problem is that you have lost a war. You need to face that, and stop throwing men into a meatgrinder.
As it is, Russia will never recover from this. The question is increasingly will Russia even survive the demographic blow that you are inflicting on yourselves.
