The West clings to its delusion of supremacy like a fading empire hoarding tarnished trophies.
It’s the same old playbook for them.
They spin a narrative, call it truth, and expect the world to bow.
They do this with everything. From marketing product sales, to politics.
To grasp the Middle East’s geopolitics, you have to understand this Western narrative framework.
“Terrorism” is always the villain, and the West, the gallant hero, swoops in to save the day.
There’s no reality where the resistance topples Israel and “wins” the Middle East.
That’s not how the script works.
The West demands its victory lap, claiming it tamed the savages and gifted the region peace.
The reality however, is that their grand experiment failed to become a hegemony so they need to wrap this up, and demote Israel to just another player integrated into the region’s control.
That’s the reality. That’s the outcome.
The Gulf states get this. They ditch the ego and pride and see the board for what it is. And they couldn’t care less what the region thinks of them.
Outcomes over optics.
Many on here don’t understand this. Frankly, they should not be involving themselves with geopolitics.
Just pay attention over your timeline. Anyone saying the Gulf states are an embarrassment or a humiliation over this Doha strike,
are the ones being played by the Western narrative. They care about the narrative of optics over the reality outcomes.
They care about shit like honor, integrity, glory when the stakes are far more substantial.
These people are like naive children.
They don’t just fall short when it comes to geopolitics. They often conduct themselves poorly in other domains within their life.
I see it in corporate very often.
Very easy to manipulate.
They become part of the means for people who shape outcomes.
