1/ Lets discuss what this "Deal" Spin really is. Not an agreement but an accord to join forces to suppress struggles for freedom. BAHRAIN&ISREAL were never at war. All this does is provide military, $$ & diplomatic infrastructure to repress struggles for democracy & freedom in
2/ Middle East . The UAE was able to purchase reaper drones, jets ,F-35 planes from US. Bahrain seeking similar benefits for air defense.Another Arab state looking to secure from US military backing & Diplomatic impunity for gross human rights violations and the laws of war.
3/ This agreement reflects geopolitical alliance between repressive regimes that expands U.S. influence in Middle East. There are no guarantees for Palestinian national rights nothing from Bahrain or UAE not even to ease 13yr blockade of GAZA which is pretty much open air prison
4/Now Bahrain will be seeking to be spared international accountability much like Isreal ( U.S vetoed 43 times to block initiatives for Isreals abuses on Palestinians). Bahrain has history of gross ,vulgar abuses of human rights , they too will benefit from US protection.
