Russia and China Offering Gulf States New Security Architecture, Displacing U.S. Influence

What was said

"This general in Pakistan told him that they've got it confirmed now that Saudi Arabia and Qatar are going to distance themselves from the United States, that they are being offered what they would consider a better, more secure deal by Russia and China."

Intelligence analyst Larry Johnson revealed that a senior Pakistani ISI general confirmed Saudi Arabia and Qatar are preparing to distance themselves from the United States in favor of a new security framework offered by Russia and China. This shift follows Iranian missile strikes that damaged U.S. bases and Gulf infrastructure, undermining American protection guarantees. Johnson noted the Saudis reportedly blocked U.S. military flights during recent operations, signaling the strategic realignment.
