I've long been feeling like I'm living in some bad TV prequel's prequel series that provide unnecessary backstory of why it is not named a "Butlerian crusade".
Do the Ai facilities first.
UAE is about to bail out OpenAI with $30b, with an included datacenter deal. No one else would give them money in this environment, so it is more geopolicital chaining to the sinking US ship.
it's 50/50 whether GCC is able to get US to just leave, or cause permanent destruction of region, along with GCC's ability to prop up the US financially. Both of the outcomes are necessary to delay politically after mid terms, as peace will look like defeat, and abandonning of Israel's megalomania.
