Even if Americans were to win, the biggest loser is the GCC.
Because for the past 30, 40 years, the GCC is basically built on a mirage.
Because it's essentially a desert with very little access to fresh water and very little agriculture.
And so it couldn't really sustain a large population.
But with the petrodollar and with American military protection, then the GCC nations felt free to invest in technology that allowed them to grow their population.
So these desalination plants, modern infrastructure.
So you saw this massive growth in Dubai, in Qatar, in Riyadh.
And what this war has done is shattered this mirage and revealed the limitations of the GCC.
So for example, look at Dubai.
So Dubai for many years has prided itself as this safe, very cosmopolitan, very open tax haven.
So a lot of wealthy people immigrated to Dubai.
But because of this war, and we're talking about a few drones hitting hotels, it's really shattered the image of Dubai.
And once you shatter this mirage, you can never ever rebuild it again.
So the idea of Dubai as the future New York or London, the financial capital of the GCC, this mirage has evaporated.
So Iran is being devastated right now.
So the Israelis and Americans are attacking critical infrastructure.
So the Israelis attack the largest gas field in Iran.
The desalination plant was destroyed.
But we also have to remember what is being hidden from us.
And what's being hidden from us is the fact that the Israelis and Americans are trying to destroy the capacity of the state to govern the nation.
