>>12722731I don't think anyone has much to gain from escalating at this point. Like when Iran shelled US bases after they assassinated their general. That was just to show their populace that they're not backing down and the US knew it would come. Saudi Arabia will see Iran as more of an enemy anyway because of practical reasons, as Israel is just an ideological enemy, which is cringe to care about
>>12722783I'd rather see the Middle East actually be a first world. Then they can fight whatever comes next. Living where I do, it'd be nice if Russia wasn't so cringe corrupt chauvinist cunt and we could actually trade and counter China together.
