Ron Unz argues that Washington’s inability to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, protect Gulf allies, or significantly weaken Iran has exposed the limitations of American military power. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait’s refusal to support a proposed U.S. naval operation suggests growing regional distrust, while reports that Gulf monarchies may seek alternative security arrangements with Russia and China point toward a possible strategic realignment. Meanwhile, prolonged disruptions to oil shipments threaten global economic stability, even as financial markets appear remarkably complacent. Unz also warns that speculative artificial intelligence investments and vulnerable financial institutions could compound an approaching economic crisis. Ultimately, he suggests that an emerging coalition involving Iran, Russia, and China could displace American influence and fundamentally reshape the international balance of power.
