@professor_mearsheimer: 🇸🇦🇺🇸 Why can’t the U.S. fully protect Saudi Arabia from missile and drone attacks? Professor John Mearsheimer argues that the problem goes beyond the strength of the U.S.–Saudi alliance. Offensive missiles and drones can overwhelm defensive systems, while interceptors such as Patriot missiles are expensive to manufacture and use. He points to Saudi Arabia, Israel, and Ukraine as examples of the challenges facing modern air defense—and questions whether the U.S. can reliably protect its Gulf allies in the future. #USA #SaudiArabia #IranWar #MiddleEast #Geopolitics
