118. The "monarchs and despots" describes just about every Islamic state in the Middle East.

This includes every single state that tried to previously "help" the Palestinians ever since 1948, with disastrous results to the Palestinian people

And that would include Iran, whose "help" started the most recent wars of its proxies Hezbollah and Hamas against Israel in the first place, with, you guessed it, disastrous results for the Palestinians.

It is beyond me what distinctions you see between the states that "tried to help" and those who you are calling "client states" of the US, or which ones have been or will be obliterated, or even what constitutes obliteration in your mind.
