So that's why so many Americans have been dying from covid-19. All this time craPOTUS has been concentrating on the Middle East.
Under Obama we had an estimated 600,000 homeless, yet he sure was focused on sending us to war in Syria.
Were you equally critical of Obama? How many homeless people die every year due to the elements?
How many Americans have actually died due to COVID 19? Does anyone really know? I ask because over seas the accounting method the US uses is a joke. On our local news they actually made a joke. If you have life insurance and need money for your family, go to the USA and walk in front of a bus. They will call it a Covid death. Your insurance will pay out.
That is sad.
Back on topic.
This peace agreement matters. Think of countries as pieces on a chess board. Israel and the UAE making a treaty may not put Iran into check, but it certainly gives the UAE much needed muscle if they need it. A player Iran felt confident would be a pushover, just became something more. That is why it matters. Sort of like when Russia and Cuba became allies. We didn't care spit about Cuba before that.

The US becoming energy independent and not hostage to or reliant on countries in the ME !!!
The US is only importing about 3% of its oil and only 6% of that import is from Saudi Arabia, that very little from the ME and not a reliance or hostage situation.
