Regardless of how you feel about Trump, your statement indicates a complete ignorance of Middle East geopolitics.

Well, personally, I'll choose the US government making fighting for the welfare of Americans and America a priority over other people/nations every time. No where does the Constitution task us with being the world's police or referee.

I didn't say anything about Trump, and I am quite familiar with ME issues (I have actually lived there), but thanks for stopping by to make a port which brings nothing to the table.

The UAE has no meaning for world peace. They are all about money, never cared about the Palestinians or other Muslims that don't happen to live in rich oil countries. Rich Arabs would sell their mothers, they are all about money.

When there is a peace agreement between Palestine and Israel, tell me...
And I am not talking about Trump's criminal Middle East plan, which constitutes theft and a severe violation of international rights.

Then you should understand that the UAE being only the third Arab country to establish diplomatic relations with Israel, and the first since 1994, is in fact big news.

You don’t need to mention Trump. Your posts make clear your hatred for him ( which is fine by me). My objection is your inability to acknowledge that this is indeed a positive development. I opposed George W Bush. I thought he was a terrible president, and still think that way. But he had two policy initiatives which were very positive and for which I give him credit: His program to help Africa fight HIV/AIDS, and his rapprochement with India and strengthening India-US ties.

I'm wondering if you will be the last to know !!!
Is it possible for anyone to tell the "highly educated" something they don't already know ?

Would you say that a President should.... "Put America First!?!"


Ive got bad news for you then, if you're going to be jumping on board the Democrats' plan to bring things back to the Obama era of globalization, free China trade and interventionalism.
