Jennifer Welch & Angie Sullivan

Dog walks him into this war.

So Lindsey Graham wants everybody to pile on Iran.

And these GCC states don't want to do this.

They don't want any part of this.

And so Lindsey Graham gets a response from, pop this up, from a billionaire in the UAE, Khalaf Ahmad al-Habtour.

He says,

I heard the statements of U.S.

Senator Lindsey Graham in which he calls on the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, that's the GCC listener, to enter this war, saying that we are under attack and that we must all join the fight.

And I say to him clearly, we know full well why we are under attack.

and we also know who dragged the entire region into this dangerous escalation without consulting those he calls allies in the region so keep this up kelly i want to unpack this because this is so important to understand the gcc states he is saying

We know why we're being attacked, and it's because the United States and Israel acted unilaterally without consulting their allies and started bombing the shit out of Iran.

Well, Iran is not going to ship missiles all the way across the Atlantic to bomb the United States when they can bomb our military embassies, et cetera, in the region.

because we're all over that place, right?

So this guy is saying, F you, you brought us into here.

You're the one who are getting us attacked.

You betrayed us.

He goes on to say, we thank God that the United Arab Emirates and the Gulf Cooperation Council, the GCC countries are doing well.

And we have no need for someone who claims he came to the Middle East to save us.

The truth is that hasty American decisions are what embroiled the region in a war whose peoples were not party to its decision making and its local allies were not consulted before it was launched.

So this is so important to understand.
