What the Gulf states are learning now—and what the Europeans will soon learn—is the danger of being frontline states for a declining hegemon. During the post–Cold War hegemonic era, the US was the only game in town, and the alliance system was a source of security. As the hegemon declines and uses its military more aggressively to prevent rivals from rising, frontline states get pummeled, and protection is gone. How to adjust to a multipolar world should be the focus of our security discussions - but our leaders are instead cosplaying WW2 and shutting down open discourse.
