Russian former President Medvedev posted today (March 7): "The Gulf Arab countries allow the US to establish military bases on their territory. They naively believe that the US will protect them. What a nonsense! The US only uses these bases, but only protects one country (Israel). Think carefully whether you really need US military bases - they are not protection, but a threat."
Comment: The Gulf countries think that the US military bases are talismans, but in the end, they are just shackles that bind themselves and targets that invite war. The so-called "collective security" by the US has always been only protecting Israel, and using all Gulf Arab countries. These bases cannot protect the security of the Gulf monarchies, but will only drag them into the fire pit of great power games. The so-called allies are nothing more than expendable front-line materials.
