The biggest diplomatic loser from this war is the United States.

It's reputation and influence is completely trashed in the Middle East.

Not surprised the Russians and Chinese are looking to spread their influence.

Ah yes the US was always viewed so favourably in the Middle East prior to just a month ago.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Where did I say that?

There is a difference from being disliked and being loathed.

Never before has an American Secretary of State been made to wait a day prior to meeting the Leader of Saudi Arabia, met by a minor functionary on an official visit (Turkey), cannot be seen in public with the King of Jordan, etc.

EDIT: Just for clarity, I don't think it is a great thing that China and Russia are expanding their influence in this region.

The middle east isn't one homogenous entity, some places were unfavorable and others were ok

This is likely to make them all worse

I mean, have you seen US-KSA relations? The US almost got KSA to normalize relations with Israel jfc
