You don’t know? Or are you simply being obtuse?

Not at all.

United Arab Emirates has an estimated population of 11.47 million, Kuwait has 5.23 million, and Qatar has 3.37 million. All three nations are characterized by large expatriate workforces, with foreign nationals making up the vast majority of residents in the UAE and Qatar.

You expect them to draft a bunch of Filipinos to invade Iran (population 93 million)?

Neither the US or Israel “failed” they simply quit.

That’s how you fail an elective war. You don’t accomplish your stated goals and you quit.

You think if Putin quit invading Ukraine that wouldn’t represent failure?

At last count we have sold most of them a boat load of weapons. I suggest they put them to good use now that we and Israel have supposedly defanged Iran.

Did you ever read about Saudi Arabia’s invasion and failed regime change attempts in Yemen? Saudi has a population estimated at approximately 35.3 to 38.5 million people, depending on the forecasting metric used. This total is comprised of roughly 58% Saudi nationals and 42% foreign residents and expatriate workers.

So yeah, tell me how you expect these clowns to take out Iran.

Or the cost got to be too great and you quit.

Well, you are obtuse.

By your tally I count at least 50 million arabs. Those are generous odds compared to, for example, Ukraine.

They could at least try an maybe some other interested parties like India and others who rely on Gulf oil.

Mercenaries are not out of the question either. There are plenty of them and it just takes money. They do have money don’t they?

They have lots of options and resources to take some action for their own benefit.

What they lack is motivation. They, like everyone, like sucking the life out of US taxpayers. Are you a US taxpayer? I am and sick of being abused.
