The Solution: A Gift from a Single Individual!

I personally believe that the only way to resolve the unjustified encroachments against Gulf states—since our Gulf nations have not encroached upon anyone to justify such aggression—is unprecedented in the history of the United Nations. It is unacceptable for a regime to claim that any aggression against it grants it the right to encroach upon third parties unrelated to the original dispute, and to unlawfully close nearby international straits. *** The solution to prevent such encroachments will not come from sending a number of soldiers insufficient even to defend a village, let alone a state. Nor will it come from troops who arrive with pledges not to engage the enemy. What is the point of that? Nor will it come from agreements in which one party receives hot money, with no one knowing the extent to which the recipient is committed to defending those who provided the funds, or how, when, or whether they will do so! *** The final point: The only viable solution may lie in the proverb “No one knows your back like your own fingernail.” We must replace visitors, false masks, and empty verbal promises of support with a single Gulf state’s decisive commitment, alongside our true allies who believe in the justice of our cause and the truth of our grievance. We must mobilize our armies, our youth, and all those willing to volunteer and fight with us, so as to compel the enemy to refrain from aggression. This may require entering their strongholds and centers of aggression, and restoring legitimacy from exile to their homelands. Anything less is a temporary solution that will be overturned, as they will exploit ceasefires and negotiations to strengthen themselves and inflict further harm, before turning against any talks and agreements once again.
