Might is right

The US-Iran war proves something we've always known: "might is right and "big fish eat the little fish". Right now, even though Iran has so far successfully defended itself, the way Trump barks and threatens to annihilate it (and knowing him, he's perfectly capable of using nuclear weapons to force Iran to surrender), Iran has very little choice but to agree to most of his demands.

Now that the Houthis (aided by Iran) are on the warpath against the Saudis, poor Mohammed bin Salman must be having a hard time getting to sleep. He must be regretting his lavish lifestyle, buying fifty million dollar paintings and spending his wealth on other useless stuff.. He must also be worrying that one of his own kinsmen might carry out a coup and remove him from power. He should have spent his country's wealth on building up a strong army. The ruler of Qatar squandered his country's wealth, gifting a 400 million dollar air plane to Trump. I won't be surprised if all the Gulf kings (who are illegitimate rulers, owing their fortunes to the British and the US) must be making plans to flee from their countries if the war lasts much longer.
