Biden will inherit Trump’s Peace Legacy

Russian asset
Not only has Trump brought more peace to the Middle East, more comprehensively and faster than all of his predecessors combined, but he made it look easy. Israel's ties with its Abraham Accords partners are expanding massively by the day. Tourists from the UAE are streaming into the country. And with one in seven Israeli Jews descended from the Moroccan diaspora, the potential for business and cultural ties between Israel and Morocco is almost limitless.

Trump's sundry Middle East peace deals are humiliating for his predecessors. Not only did they fail where Trump has succeeded, but they insisted that his achievements were impossible.

Will Biden build on Trump’s legacy in the Middle East or squander it? Wish I could say I was hopeful—I see no reason to be.

And there’s an argument to made that Trump is the best foreign policy president since Reagan—especially, given what was handed to him by his *failed predecessors*.

But because it’s Trump, it will largely go unheralded except by the ‘non-approved’ pundit class but maybe historians will treat him more fairly. No Peace Prize even though his four years were historic in bringing peace to one of the most troubled places on the planet.

Not too shabby for a supposed no-nothing outsider. Maybe we need more of them.

The Palestinians were the people displaced, so THAT was the 'Middle East Problem', not trade with the Gulf States.
No one is against Israel being 'recognized' by other States.

Afghanistan may or may not become a 'failed State', a 'Terrorist Haven', if we leave haphazardly. There doesn't seem to be a consensus on this.

Syrian Kurds. After the Kurds did all the heavy lifting of getting rid of ISIS in Syria, Trump stabs them in the back. NOT something to be proud of.

"The Kurds Have Paid Dearly for Trump’s Recklessness"
https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/a...ly-for-trump-s-reckless-withdrawal-from-syria

"On Trump’s orders, the small group of U.S. Special Forces that had served as a buffer between the U.S.-aligned Kurdish militia and the Turkish army left their posts last year, clearing the way for a Turkish invasion. That impetuous decision forced Kurdish troops, which had done most of the fighting to destroy Islamic State’s caliphate, to align with Damascus in Syria’s civil war, and by extension Russia and Iran."

Given the last 20 years *of failed policy* in the region, if all a president does in four years is piss off the Kurds that’s a win lol.

Perspective helps.

And that totally ignores the advances made under Trump. We can’t stay in Afghanistan 4-Ever because ‘we don’t know what might happen if we leave’. That’s the exact sort of thinking that led to the misery of the last decade, plus.
 
The military of the United States is deployed in more than 150 countries around the world, with over 170,000 of its active-duty personnel serving outside the United States and its territories. Nov 3 2019
 
In Poland, there are about 3,500 soldiers from the 4th Infantry Division's 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team as part of Atlantic Resolve, which seeks to halt Russian aggression. These soldiers will help train local forces and provide security, eventually fanning out to other countries like Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary to do the same.
In Ukraine, there are approximately 250 Oklahoma National Guardsmen training Ukrainian forces in support of Joint Multinational Training Group-Ukraine.
In Somalia, there about 40 troops from the 101st Airborne division assisting the central government in training their forces and fighting the terrorist group al-Shabab.

[FONT=&quot]The U.S. military currently has over 1.3 million men and women on active duty, and more than 450,000 stationed around the globe.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Many of these stationed service members perform training exercises and other duties at rather safe bases. Then there are others who are deployed to conflict zones like Syria or Iraq or potential “hotspots” like Somalia.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]​
[FONT=&quot]We pulled together the numbers and units from around the military to show you where service members are engaged around the globe.[/FONT]
[h=3]Here's a look at some of the most significant deployments for U.S. Army soldiers.[/h][FONT=&quot]Chart via Skye Gould/Business Insider[/FONT]
image-placeholder-title-124.png
[FONT=&quot]In Afghanistan, there are approximately 9,800 U.S. troops taking part in Resolute Support, which aims to train, advise and assist the Afghan security forces and institutions in their fight against the Taliban and other terrorist networks.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]​
[FONT=&quot]In Iraq, there are about 4,000–6,000 troops taking part in Operation Inherent Resolve, which aims to eliminate ISIS. Only 5,262 troops are authorized to be in Iraq, but the actual numbers have been larger for awhile as commanders leverage what they call temporary — or “non-enduring” — assignments like the one involving the 82nd Airborne in Mosul.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In Syria, there are 500 U.S. special forces and 250 Army Rangers also in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. The Pentagon is also mulling sending an additional 1,000 service members to the war-torn country.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In Kuwait, there are about 15,000 soldiers spread among Camp Arifjan, Ahmed Al Jaber Air Base, and Ali Al Salem Air Base. About 3,800 soldiers from the 1st Cavalry Division's 3rd Brigade Combat Team also deployed there late last year.[/FONT]
 
Trump's 'Peace Legacy'

Instead of shooting up their own schools, I suppose, Trumpf's legacy means that rich Americans can go and murder Palestinian children for a change?

Nonsense. Corrupt Arabs have been bribed. They will fall to moral Arabs sooner rather than later.

lol is Sisi moral? apparently not
who are you talking about specifically? Hussein of Jordan has a bunch of Palestinians -
he's not a threat to Israel either

The Palestinians have been bypassed because of their own roadblocks in refusing to negotiate.
Abbas gave them the best deal -and they declined

aand he did not "bomb Iran" even given the chance when they took down our drone.
 
Peace in the middle east my ass. Do you Trumper's even know what the Middle East is and what it comprises? One negotiated thing and you think that equates peace in the Middle East? Are you guys out of your mind or just droned out with confirmation bias? Ask Armenians about peace in the Middle East.

Al Sisi and Hussein are bribe recipients. Abbas has always been a puppet.
The robbed have no obligation to negotiate with the robbers.

Trump doesn't even take security briefings, much less read his overnight briefs. Trump has no policy. No policy, no stated objectives,
hell he doesn't even have a vague geopolitical spacial political map of the globe in his head, much less know friend from foe. Trump 100% winged his presidency
because he didn't even think he'd be elected.

You’re claiming he just ‘got lucky’ in the Middle East lol?

I pulled the following from the OP just for your enjoyment.

Enjoy yourself:

“What distinguished Barack Obama from all of his predecessors was his doggedness in wedding these dogmas into a collective ideology of American guilt.

On the Palestinians, Obama viewed Israel as singularly culpable for a failed peace process that had seen the Palestinians hold fast to terrorism and repeatedly reject Israeli offers of Palestinian statehood. He was unmoved by the fact that Israel's unilateral withdrawal from the Gaza Strip radicalized the Palestinians, instead of moderating them. As far as Obama was concerned, the U.S. had failed to bring peace because it hadn't brought sufficient pressure on Israel to make it buckle.

As for Iran, while Obama's predecessors were willing to disregard some U.S. interests to cut a deal with the mullahs, no one had entirely ignored reality. [Obama ignored reality/Trump embraced it] As Iran maintained its devotion to terror, pursued nuclear weapons and targeted the U.S. and its interests, Obama's predecessors were thus forced to abandon their hopes for an accord.

Unlike them, Obama was committed to the belief that Iran's animosity and hostile actions were rooted in past American bullying. Nothing could dissuade him from pursuing a nuclear accord with Tehran.

Over two years of nuclear negotiations, Obama erased every U.S. redline, from barring Iran from enriching uranium to abiding by U.S. law that prohibited the transfer of funds to state sponsors of terrorism.“
