One strike — and Qatar lost 15–20% of its LNG production capacity.
The simple question: where did all that oil and gas money go?
Into a World Cup. Into showcase projects with no strategic return. Not into air defense. Saudi Arabia and Qatar spent for prestige, and today a single attack exposes how thin the shield really is. Iraq tells the same story — the PMF operates almost at will.
Meanwhile the war is crushing the whole region's economy: sharp inflation, prices climbing across every sector.
So one option now sits on Washington's table: step back and let them "fight over each other's money." A state that refused to pay for its own security can't expect someone else to carry the weight.
Do you agree — does wealth without defense just make you a bigger target? Tell us in the comments.
