The money shot: Graham said Iran and Venezuela together hold 31% of global oil reserves. That if the U.S. takes control, it's a "nightmare for China" and America would "make a lot of money."
UAE billionaire Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor just humiliatingly dismissed Senator Lindsey Graham in the most eloquent way possible.
Graham's calling for Gulf states to join the war. Says they're "under attack" and need to fight alongside the US.
Al Habtoor's response: "We know full well why we are under attack, and we also know who dragged the entire region into this dangerous escalation without consulting those he calls his 'allies.'"
In other words: You started this war without asking us. Now you want us to fight it for you? No!
The money shot: Graham said Iran and Venezuela together hold 31% of global oil reserves. That if the U.S. takes control, it's a "nightmare for China" and America would "make a lot of money."
Al Habtoor: "Only then does the picture become clear. And only then do we understand why they want this war."
Not about freedom. Not about security. Oil and money. Graham said it himself.
"We do not need your protection. All we want from you is to keep your hands off us.
We invest in our security and pay billions of dollars for these weapons. This is an industry that thrives on wars and arms sales, not a charitable endeavor."
The kill shot:
"Senator Graham: You may be a senator in the U.S. Senate, but anyone who hears your statements might think you're a member of the Israeli Knesset, because you defend Israel's interests more than you defend the interests of the American people themselves.
We will not enter this war to serve the interests of others, nor will we sacrifice our sons in a conflict that could have been avoided through diplomacy and political solutions.
We want peace and stability. We will not accept being forced down the path of war, nor will we accept being fuel for others' battles."
The Gulf-U.S. alliance just cracked in public. Over oil. Over being used. Over being told to sacrifice their people for American profits and Israeli security.
Meanwhile, the UAE is treating its residents and tourists like their own nationals (Arabs, Israelis, Europeans, Americans, and Asians alike), and resiliently ensuring their airports, ports and infrastructure operate flawlessly. Not lost on them is the media wars being played to bait them into joining a war they never wanted in the first place.
