Trump Plays Chicken with Iran, Gulf Royals Squawk

Oh, the desert sands were redder than ever this week when Donald Trump, in his infinite wisdom (or lack thereof), decided to strike Iran with the precision of a blindfolded dart player. Gulf allies, who had rolled out the red carpet for Trump, expecting him to play nice, were left clutching their pearls as they watched their cozy little puppet show turn into a geopolitical dumpster fire.
The Arab rulers, who were all too eager to play kiss-and-make-up with the American bulldozer, now find themselves sweating bullets under their luxurious golden headdresses. They had whispered sweet nothings into Trump's ear, urging him to keep the peace, but alas, the man-child in the White House, not content with mere Twitter tantrums, decided a military strike would do just fine.
Now, the Gulf states, once basking in the glow of Trump's affection, are left exposed, their fancy palaces now mere targets for Iran's potential wrath. Their once-celebratory mood has soured faster than spoiled camel milk. One can almost hear the collective gulp as these oil-rich princelings realize that perhaps, just perhaps, hitching their wagon to Trump's erratic star might not have been the wisest of moves.
In summary, the Gulf's rulers have found out the hard way that when you're playing with fire in the Middle East, sometimes the flames lick back, and oh, how they burn. As for Trump, he's probably tweeting about it while the world edges closer to chaos. Isn't diplomacy grand?
