Doesn't matter. The internal messaging of the Gulf govts to their people initially was that "we're not hosting US forces, why is Iran attacking us??". Now that veneer is being peeled off.

Unlike China, a country whose exports to other countries dwarfs their exports. The yuan is much more valuable than the rupee (which is turning to trash with each passing month as a net effect of trade wars and oil crises).

Drone attack helicopters aren't single-use disposable like these interceptors built by the startup are.

Saudi Arabia was literally negotiating with China for payments in yuan for petroleum way before the war started, in 2023. The Gulf countries' largest trading partner is China - such a transaction is effectively a barter enabling progra

Loitering munitions are all low-altitude, low-flight hovering weaponry. The best solution is to simply just use aircraft sorties or even helicopters to shoot them down with their autocannons/machine guns, but obviously you can't b

You can buy from China though. And China is the largest import trading partner for the majority of countries in the world. They literally don't need to do anything to prop up a "petro-yuan".

Germany and Austria gotchu fam, impoverishing their own people while choosing to buy overpriced Russian and American oil and gas. I'll be seeing news about Hinckley Point C opening when I'm in my 80s.

Israel always was, at least for the last 2 decades. We all (including me) were just too blind and stupid to see through it. If you want to form an opinion around Israel, I would've suggested, in better times, visiting the Red Crescent

Why is it that in every thread of a newly released product, there's always some European popping by, just to say, "Oh, but the name doesn't sound appropriate in _my language_"? Suck it up Yurop, or make your own. And imo

The problem - for them - is that they wouldn't be able to make as much money as a curator than as a grifter, a middleman. As a curator or a creator, they would be actually forced to work, as compared to the current rentier model that t

The US has an eternal fool on the throne. Common sense also claims that you can only declare bankruptcy once, and never with a casino, yet here we are. It is also very clear that both the US and Israel have very different mission objectives
