Don't be silly, the UAE is into the US for everyting from F-16's, to helicopters to Boeing 777....they like MONEY! and superior western weapons.....

Glad you've got it all figured out. Hope you're right. But even if you think there's going to be absolutely no blowback from today's events, you're smoking some great rope.

The US Navy has "LONGTERM contracts" for Dubai. The blowback, if the UAE really wants to dork with the US is..train, maintain and fly your $15 billion dollar F-16's on your own, ditto with the UAE's 30 US-supplied AH-64A Apache attack helicopters. And yea, break your deal on the ports.....dare you.

America is the sole superpower in the world for a reason, and it had NOTHING to do with little oil-rich dictatorships in the mid-east.
