Infidel Dog Posted September 11, 2020 Report Posted September 11, 2020 I got lost here... What does any of this have to do with Trump being nominated for a Nobel peace price? He brought Israel and the UAE together and that's good right? More peace rather than less, don't you think? I guess you might think it a problem that some of the Arab states are starting to fear Iran more than they hate Israel and that might be what's really relaxing the tensions between some Arab states and Israel but it still feels like a net positive to me.

Infidel Dog Posted September 11, 2020 Report Posted September 11, 2020 And hey, check this out: Trump Announces Another Historic Middle East Peace Deal, With Israel And Bahrain And I heard the new flights from UAE to Israel are allowed to fly over Saudi Arabia. I imagine Hamas and Iran are pissed but what else is new. Quote

Maybe they need more racists in the WH. I'll give credit to Obama for the fact that Trump didn't inherit any wars, him and Trump can share the legacy that in Trump's first term there was probably the lowest number of US military deaths under any President in the last 100 years. I tried to google it but I could only find deaths per year and I'm not interested in doing math right now. Maybe I'll look later.

Middle east countries many probably do to, if he's not bombing them anymore or stealing oil. The timing of this is no coincidence, i think Israel (Netanyahu) is helping set up these announcements before the election to help him win brownie points.

Illegally according to whom? The Arabs? The Muslim controlled UN? Gee...perhaps they should get together and attack Israel again if it's so "illegal". Worked so well the last dozen times.

OftenWrong Posted September 23, 2020 Report Posted September 23, 2020 Trump demonstrates that peace is better than the mexican standoff these people were in. I like that he has cornered Iran, put them off their game, and that he showed them restraint. I like that he dropped John Bolton, and the reason why. Looking further back, little rocket man has been so very quiet lately. He has reduced the risk of war, and may have even averted war, more than once. 1 Quote

Again, I literally don't care. I have no skin in that game. That conflict get WAAAAAAYYYY too much international attention anyways compared to other conflicts going on in the world. You and Dog are so full of angst you're LOOKING for fight, you two are putting people on sides they don't even want to be on so you can attack.
