      they paid the US $200Billions+ to defend them from Saddam invasion on Kuwait in the 1980s… guess what happened afterward? The US built more military bases in their countries to start more wars for israel (invading Iraq), then asked for more $billions to protect them & repeat all over again

      Im not even asking these fuckers to learn from history… this whole shit is less than 40 yrs old, and keeps on repeating. The US used their money to attack Iran then billed them again last week an additional $100Billions+ for defense on top of the trillions they paid before that already, and now asking them to pay more for compensation to repeat it all over… Any sovern country would’ve told the US and all their bases to fuck off, but that’s the reason why the US keeps and needs these GCC monarch puppet states to exist as dictatorships

      Once you pay the Danegeld, you’ll never be rid of the Dane.

      You can say goodbye to your gold though.
