I guess the drunken Secretary could scrounge up some more rockets to shoot at Oman. But why? The fact is that all these Arab states need to coexist. They see that Iran is still standing. They know Trump will be dead before too much longer, but Iran will still be there.
Besides, Oman has been an ally at least since 1980. Who talks to their allies this way?
Do we have ANY friends in the world now? I can't think of any. Not even Canada. And don't say Russia. Putin would sell out his own mother.
But the key thing is nobody likes or trusts us now. But more than that, nobody even fears us now. We are not the economic power we were just 10 years ago. And you can see what our military limits are.
This is a scary time because we are quickly approaching the moment when the only form of power and influence we have left is our nuclear weapons. And this guy is openly threatening to use them.
