In a speech in Abu Dhabi this week, President Donald Trump praised the Middle East’s transformation as an achievement of its own people, not the result of foreign intervention. He celebrated a new generation of regional leaders who are moving beyond old conflicts and choosing prosperity over chaos.
Trump emphasized that the progress in places like Riyadh and Abu Dhabi wasn’t built by Western elites, neocons, or left-wing nonprofits, but by locals charting their own path. He condemned past U.S. efforts at nation-building, arguing that they often caused more harm than good by meddling in cultures they didn’t understand.

I worked as a resource teacher with a fellow teacher, whose father was Jordanian and her mother, Italian. She strongly criticized Bush for invading Iraq, now worse off than it was under Saddam. She said that Saddam was considered a tough strongman who kept all the competing factions under control by force and brutality. Since Bush’s ill-advised invasion, Iraq and its neighbors fell into chaos. It sure wasn’t ideal (the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, and its war against Iran), but Saddam managed to maintain control.

Words of wisdom. Americans attempted to change the culture of Native Americans, those people who lived a tough but free-spirited culture when we first came to these beautiful shores. We succeeded by murdering and destroying most of them. Meddling and conquering is a cruel way to build a civilization and we did more than our share of it across the world but we only mimicked what other civilizations have practiced up to this point.

The ways of the Ivy League elites is hardly the way of the world. The business world is closer to the human race than the ivory tower, "Professorial Class."
Countless foreign policy debacles, brought about by leftist-hack State Departments cronies, has resulted in our once "85% White-European-Christian country" literally hauling in people from third-world enemy hellholes like Cuba, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Somalia, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. into our once great, God-fearing United States. Whenever you see one of those people, think which Democrat President was in office when unchecked immigration became the "salve" to placate that foreign policy "wound." For example, when Rep. Ilhan Omar pops up, it should remind you of the debacle Bill "Blackhawk Down" Clinton created, the proof of which being his importation of millions of Somali Muslims into Minnesota. Immigration has become the "magic fix-all" of Democrat failures. Oh, and they also use immigration to "fix" their economic failures, as well, proof being wholesale importation of dirt cheap, manual labor from Mexico and Central America, yea, verily, from anywhere.

No policy that ignores the fact that Muslims are flooding every non-Muslim country in the world in a quest to subjugate those countries and establish a caliphate is a good policy.

Thy are not here to become Americans

The Trump Doctrine is the Abraham Accords write large. We know the Abraham Accords are successful because the Biden administration, never, ever talked about them.

Americans don't like it when an outsider tells US how to govern our own people...and I can see the point in this article...of President Trump had to suggest...leave the Middle East alone....they have their own culture and know how to manage ....Israel...is another matter...any attack on another's society is an outrage...and Hamas attacked Israel and killed men, women, children and babies....they should go before the international crimes' court....

15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers were Saudis. Qatar is friendly with Iran and gave refuge to Kalid Sheik Mohammed as well as Hamas leaders - (are they still doing so?) and has given millions to US colleges and universities that are now experiencing pro terrorist protests (in support of "Free Palestine" and Hamas.). They've expected and gotten something in return (from the inside of the US on campuses) for their donations.
$$$ deals are fine and dandy if they help America(ns). Now let's see some action (especially on US college and university campuses and in opposition to Hamas and Iran).
Hopefully, we'll get a boom in the US economy and not another type of boom that can seriously damage it.

I ain't buyin' it.
Until a muslim publicly renounces those verses in the Koran that authorize him to lie to infidels (what they call taquiyya), then Trump has has no credible reason to trust them in negotiations.
That goes for the Emirates, Saudi, and certainly Iran.
