The durability of the US strategy fundamentally depends on whether semi-feudal Arab monarchies can survive as US clients; these regimes are increasingly unpopular as their populations are Palestinian, Indian, or face extreme inequality, creating conditions for political upheaval like occurred after World War I.

“the success of this US policy depends on how long can the Arab Middle East be ruled by these rotten semi-feudal monarchies?...most of the population is either Palestinian or Indian, or you have a very unequal society...almost every war the backwash of a war has been settled by huge political upheavals. World War I saw the end of many European monarchies.”
