President Trump’s promise to keep “America First” seems to be strapped down to an embassy conference table for a visit with a bone saw. Our President should be reminded of his promise to EXTRACT US FROM FOREIGN WARS! Not to encourage them!
His waffling confused soft support of Saudi Arabia in this ugly crisis of the brutal Khashoggi torture and assassination has unintentionally revealed his long term plans for renewed sanctions and/or a military attack on Iran. He has stated as much in his response to queries on what he will do about Saudi Arabia, answering that he “needs Saudi Arabia” in his plans to oppose Iran. He has made a $100 billion dollar arms deal which will arm that nation to the teeth with US weapons. For what purpose? To kill more starving unarmed Yemenis? Perhaps Mr. Trump has inadertently let the cat out of the bag.
The Trump policy on Iran is one we should be all concerned with. Iran is an ancient culture and a nation with a long peaceful history. Unlike almost all of their neighbrirs (Israel and Saudi Arabia included ) they have initiated no wars or attacks on other nations in recent history. President Trump has somehow (?) been lured into a dangerous anti-Iran triumvirate—with tough guys Netanyahu and Mohammed bin Salman. These two are loose cannons in the ME—both of whom would like to hold our flack jackets as we fight the Iranians.
With the midterm elections less than a month away..Mr. Trump’s waffling response to the Saudi Arabian journalist assassination will be cause for an enormous political black-eye if he does not act with certitude to distance himself (and his challenged son-in-law) from the Saudi shadows. The American people will not be able to go to the polls and vote GOP with a straight face if the White House thinks that they get away with pulling a rug over the blood stains that point to Khashoggi’s killers. The Democrats will skewer Trump with that untenable action.
A more logical approach to Saudi Arabia also points to a more sensible revision of our foreign policy toward Iran. Accept Iran as it is——-a powerful regional nation. It can be perhaps —not become an American ally—but it need not be a bete noir either We need a more logical and useful approach and policy toward powerful, oil rich, and technically savvy Iran. Even a North Koreans style sit down talk would be a positive development. Now that would be a Trump triumph!
Yet Presient Trump labels them the worst supporters of “terrorism”. Yet his illogical foreign policy supports leaders who occupy lands illegally, shoot children, bomb civilians and break bones of those who live in the occupied lands, and others who bomb Yemen into chaos and cholera and stupidly lure journalists to their own embassy where they use a bone saw to cut off offending writer’s typing fingers BEFORE making the decapitation cut, Ugh!
There is a limit to what the nation will accept as logical foreign policy. Trump beware!
