The UAE has a stake, too.

> don't have much else to say to you if you actually think that assassinating a head of state in the middle of active negotiations is anything but vile & uncivilized behavior unbecoming of a "civilized" superpower

This statement weakens your argument. (It's also not in line with this forum's guidleines around arguing in good faith.)

I am not talking about stakes; I am talking about territory.

Uh if you say so. Can you point me to the rule stating that I need to keep engaging in a discussion I am not interested in having?

  • > I am talking about territory

    Yeah. As you suggested, "look at a map." The UAE controls most of the Musandam Peninsula.

    > that I need to keep engaging

    You don't. But you also don't need to storm off.
