The US first sold out Europe, and now it's selling out Gulf countries...

The US could not protect any of its allies in the Middle East. It could not protect Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE, Bahrain, or Jordan from Iranian missiles. The US could not even protect the military bases it spread across many countries in the Middle East. US military bases, naval bases, and intelligence bases located in the aforementioned countries suffered heavy attacks. It became clear that the US does not even have the capability to protect its own bases in such a war. All of them, including the 5th Fleet in Bahrain, including radar bases, including massive military deployments, came under attack and could not be protected. TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS WASTED. The US, which for decades took trillions of dollars saying "we will defend you," did nothing for these countries against Iranian missiles in just ten days, could do nothing, and it became evident it can do nothing. Countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain are in great shock. I am sure they are asking themselves, "So what a mistake did we make by entrusting our defense to the US?" These countries, which until today lived in safety under US protection, if they are experiencing this while suffering Iranian attacks today, have seen that they will experience the same vulnerability in attacks by other powers tomorrow. THEN THE US WON'T PROTECT THEM, THEY WILL 'STRIKE' THEM. We know that Israel will not remain idle after the Israel-Iran war. We know that Israel will attack some of the countries that are currently US allies. Just as the US will not protect any of these countries then, we also know that it will support Israel and strike these countries. That is when the Arab/Gulf countries will experience the real fatal shock. ALL THESE INVESTMENTS WERE FOR INTERNAL THREATS. The US military presence and military bases in the regional countries were calibrated to protect these countries not against external threats, but against "internal threats." They were calibrated to protect and manage, to own the regimes, the ruling elites, the oil wealth. I think this shock will seriously affect the future decisions of the regional countries. They found themselves completely defenseless. But the real question is this: Regional countries know that the US military presence, which protects them against possible internal threats, will not provide protection in the event of a regional external threat. So how will this gap be filled? THEY SHOULD ESTABLISH A JOINT DEFENSE SHIELD WITH TÜRKİYE. Considering the uncertainty to be experienced in the coming years, the volatility in our geography, and the fatal changes in the global power mathematics, it is now imperative for them to make some changes in a state of urgency. The way to do this is for Türkiye and the regional countries to build a joint defense shield. EUROPE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SITUATION. THE US COULDN'T DEFEND THEM EITHER. Europe experienced the same situation that the Gulf countries have fallen into. When Russia attacked Ukraine, they suddenly realized they were defenseless, that US presence alone would not be enough to protect them, and that the US had no such intention anyway. Now they are desperately seeking solutions and remedies for Europe's defense. They are even asking for support from Türkiye, which they excluded for decades. Like Europe, the Gulf countries have seen that the US is not willing to protect them. The US leaving both the Gulf countries and Europe so isolated, or rather it becoming evident that it cannot defend them, is a major rupture. This will be what truly breaks
