I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Saudi Arabia, Pakistan (which gets $$ from Saudi Arabia) and Turkiye created their own Mideast NATO-style pact. This signals a lack of confidence in the USA's ability to protect them. It also gives Trump a way out of going to war with Iran and Ansar Allah.

They're all Sunni nations, and this alliance is clearly about Iran and Ansar Allah Houthis in Yemen).

Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz and Ansar Allah controls the Bab el Mandeb strait into the Red Sea, which is the alternate route for the Straits of Hormuz.

Saudi Arabia apparently hasn't been able to export any oil, and being a "high spend" nation they're running out of $$. I wouldn't be surprised if the US is supporting Saudi Arabia with dollar swaps.

The oil closures have led to all kinds of chaos, not just in the Mideast, most notably in Japan. Apparently Japan, which is critically impacted bc it gets its oil from the ME, is having to offer higher yields on its bonds. This ruins the money creation process of borrowing JPY at low interest rates and investing in USD ag higher interest rates. IDK which institutions are running this trade, but I imagine hedge funds and major banks are involved and are screaming their heads off.

I dont think its worth the paper its printed on, traditionally the Muzzie has fought with itself since the time of the first demonic Moongod prophet named Mahomet. That pedo jihadi idiot who founded islam fought with his own since the start of islam and the jihadi moslim cult or 'faith'. Typically Arabs are useless at war but over time they can win by the level of blood spilled, political deception, they win by the invasions of immigration, a war of attrition etc the non conventional means

India is also hit economically so not just 'Japan'.

its kinda amazing how Israel can rig and cook up numbers and ride out the economic decay so not just Saudi problems of painting up magic money routes.

but Ottoman Turkics were perhaps the last big islamo jihad power, a jihadi Slave Empire from Central Asia to North Africa....islamics are dying, from the outside you might think they are growing but from within its all decaying.

Yes there was some type of modern back and forth movement of politics, science, money, the Hindu had got the bomb...relations between the USA and Indian Hindi were mixed, India was too close to Soviets and Nixon didnt like them, before this you are going back to 1961 Eisenhower and JFK. So the Indians Hindu Nationalism rises beats Portugal, the annexation of Goa, Protugal btw was a Dictatorship then Estado Novo. People get nervous when India gets the bomb. Some people started moving Nuke Technology around. Then it was AQ Kahn or Abdul Khan from a British India state Bhopal, imported electronic materials from the Dutch firms...then a cover up starts, the "Saudis came to us and said, 'Please leave him alone'" or so the story of excuses from the USA side goes, he got the Nuclear bomb for Pakistanis....a disaster spread of WMDs...they say he also proliferated to North Korea, Iran, and Libya. Pakistan conducted its first nuclear bomb test during Bill Clinton's time in 1998.

Pakistan and Saudi already had signed a recent document.
Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement (SMDA) they already signed that in 2025 ...but it did nothing...and after Israel and the USA attacked Iran and then Iran attacked Saudi, the Pakistanis did nothing.

they might help each but in some ways
expect a lot of back stabbing and political double speak

Arabs are fantastic at losing wars.
