Peter Sellers plays multiple roles. The smallest country in the world decides to declare war on the USA in order to get paid. Their bowmen land in New York on the day of the biggest shelter drill in Cold War history.
GCC are the ones doing the investment. The US only loses the war when they stop investing their oil revenues in US. US protection of them has proved to be a liability, Democracy is a mere talking point every where in the world. Only CIA control matters. GCC stays safe from democratic ideals through CIA subservience. GCC needs guarantees that US won't bomb their projects, or run colour revolutions in their countries. As it has always been, GCC needs protection from US/Israel, and only non-US aligned weapon systems are their solution.
GCC bailing out the US to get peace with Iran, and investment opportunities, means a stronger Iran can help protect them. The reason there is peace is purely GCC pushback against US. But the point where the US has lost the war, is only the point where they lose GCC devotion.
Gulf Cooperation Council is essentially west side of Persian Gulf. It is very oil rich region, includes 2-3 very rich, countries with city infrastructure better developed than any US city. Dubai is epitomy of this with global financial/transport/tourism center, tallest sky scraper in world. War has caused a 30%-50% property value drop. Iran has been striking energy and US bases in these countries.
US wealth is far more dependent on GCC investment than Israel control. This war has ended, because GCC were threatening US. Terms includes not rebuilding destroyed US bases, and leaving the ones they still occupy.

Yup about $860 for about every person in the US, apart from the actual cost of war, that tallies to date $86 billions.
So tired of winning.

300 billion minutes is equal to 570 thousand years. According to Google, I didn't do the math myself
