The Saudis are literally caught in the middle here.

The like to play the "We're just good people trying to sell oil" part.  But we all know that's not true, right?

The like to profit off the US. But do they support their brethren more?  Should be fun!

You're right.  A power vacuum in the region probably (currently) sounds great to them.

The Saudis and Iranians hate each other.  Nobody in the region outside Israel wants a defanged Iran more than the Saudis.

Sounds like a well-coordinated operation.

Three American F-15 fighter jets were shot down over Kuwait in a "friendly fire incident," the U.S. military said Monday, but there were no casualties.

The Air Force fighter jets were "mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses," CENTCOM said in a statement, adding that "all six aircrew ejected safely, have been safely recovered, and are in stable condition."

I'm certainly no expert on their relationship, but I understood them to be more frenemies the past few years.

Nonetheless, I generally agree (see my power vacuum comment).

Exactly. Saudis and UAE getting some ROI for the cash they heaped on the Trumps and Jarod.

Imagine the screeching on the right if this happened under Biden. But no worries, part-time weekend Fox host WARFIGHTER has it under control.

I saw a meme floating around social media (with tens of thousands of likes) saying that we're letting the world know men in dresses aren't in change anymore. Nope, instead we have a guy who makes David Duke's views on race seem moderate, an alcoholic rapist megabro, and a rapist and diddler of underage teens making decisions. Yep, the adults are back in charge!

A joking (kinda) response is that after a Patriot missile system downed 3 F-15s in a day, Lockheed is going to be able to sell it to NATO countries who are increasingly planning to have to fight Americans as "the only SAM system with a proven trackrecord against the USAF"

I think technically Raytheon is the prime contractor (LM just builds the missile) but interesting point you make to ponder...
