UAE bars use of its airspace for military action against Iran

[question everything]

DUBAI, Jan 26 (Reuters) - The United Arab Emirates will not let its airspace, territory or territorial waters be used for any hostile military actions against Iran, the UAE foreign ministry said on Monday, reaffirming its commitment to neutrality and regional stability.

Uncertainty over the possibility of military action in Iran has lingered after U.S. President Donald Trump said last week that an "armada" was heading towards the country but that he hoped he would not have to use it.

Trump's warnings to Tehran were against killing protesters or restarting its nuclear programme.
Iran has been embroiled in protests which rights groups say left thousands of people, including bystanders, killed. The rights groups describe the unrest as the biggest crackdown since Shi'ite Muslim clerics took power in the 1979 revolution.

1. Wait! Trump's buddies turning on him?

Trump thought pandering to Middle Eastern oligarchs would give him a free pass in the region. Must be quite a shock to see them block him. He’s not smart enough to realize they played him and this is the evidence.

2. Psychopath Trump doesn't care what the UAE says.

When is the world going to get a clue?

Leadership the world over appears to be dominated by naive and unrealistic ivory tower idiots.

They all deserve exactly what Trump is about to dish out if someone somewhere with some power, sense, and interpersonal communication skills doesn't rise up and start building a worldwide coalition of humanitarianism.

Like that's ever going to happen.

A fuck the patriarchy coalition is more than ever looking like the only choice that we have to save the planet.

I'm tired of crying. Time to get organized.
Stand Up. Fight back.

6. This is exactly what I was going to write.

trump doesn't give two hoots and a holler about what any country says, with respect to its sovereignty. If he wants to park the entire US fleet in UAE waters, he will. And if UAE says anything about it, he'll just bomb them, too. We have total chaos in cities thanks to our own government, and I fear it will soon be joined with "terrorist" attacks by other countries (including those in the Middle East) because of what trump has done to them and their countries. We WILL pay the price for his evil arrogance and malfeasance.

4. Now Europe needs to close its airspace to the US military.

The Eu is not helpless against Trump. They just need to use their power instead of trying to appease a man for whom nothing is off limits if he thinks it benefits him. .
