China and also Russia, they cannot protect their allies anymore even on the contiguous land mass they can do nothing to stop the United States from going after their key peripheral interests. So that's a very important point. It's an important issue to show Arab countries, especially the Gulf States with their Bedouin cultures, and they play all sides of the field much of the time, if not all, that, that they can rely on us or that they have no choice but to rely on us because we're taking care of a threat that many of them were even helping because they were playing both sides. So and this is also an extension of the success of the Abraham Accords because when you even have Qatar on the side of Israel in a war on Iran, that's a really big deal because of Qatar's sponsorship of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. So lots of dynamics are going on here all at the same time. Not least of which is another one, which is China's export of its weapon systems and Russia's export of its weapons systems, high-tech systems that were touted as among the best in the world, completely worthless. What does that say to every other country in the world that's building a defense system based on China? What does it say to other countries in the world that are that have high-tech surveillance systems that the Israelis could easily hack and that's how they were actually witnessing the bombings of the targets that they were killing. So I mean it's a whole new thing now. It shows that these technologies are not what they claim to be on the Chinese and Russian side, or that the American and Israeli countermeasures are far superior.
