EVERY ARAB STATE IS EXPOSED. HERE'S THE SPENDING THAT BUYS ZERO REAL SECURITY Iran shut down the Strait of Hormuz. Every Arab oil state is now realizing they spent decades buying weapons without buying sovereignty. Here's what they spend. Here's what it bought them: Saudi Arabia — $78 BILLION/year — still called America to fight Iran for them UAE — $23.9 BILLION/year — described war as their "worst nightmare" (Guardian, Mar 14) Qatar — $14.4 BILLION/year — facing "catastrophe" if Hormuz fully closed Oman — $9.1 BILLION/year — highest defense % of GDP in GCC, still zero independent capability Kuwait — $6.6 BILLION/year — pushing US to "neutralize Iran for good" (Reuters, Mar 16) Bahrain — $1.4 BILLION/year — hosts US Fifth Fleet, completely dependent on American umbrella All Arab states combined — $243 BILLION spent in 2024 alone — up 15% in one year Total: Over a QUARTER TRILLION DOLLARS per year. And not one Arab state could respond when Iran blocked the strait. Not one. The Economist called Arab armed forces "repeatedly humiliated" in every major conflict. Brookings called them "largely dependent on U.S. and Western support." The spending is real. The army is not. RT before this gets buried by the algorithm.
