📝How expensive it is📝
for Qatar to protect Israel
Continuing our rough estimates of costs for repelling Iranian attacks in the Middle East, a rather amusing article appeared in Bloomberg. Qatar's stockpile of Patriot air defense missiles at current consumption rates will last four days.
This despite the fact that Qatar spent years buying air defense missiles for the Patriot system from the Americans and practically never used them. There were episodes with previous Iranian attacks, but they're hardly worth counting. In other words, accumulated stockpiles were depleted in just three days.
📌How this will affect the defense of the entire Persian Gulf even if the war ends – there's no need to even discuss. It will take years and billions to replenish all the missiles used on new contracts with the same American lobby that is already rubbing its hands together.
Therefore, countries in the region should think carefully about the price of "American protection." The economic damage is already being felt by all countries, defense is weakened, the population is dissatisfied, and dependence on the US grows with every missile spent.
