"So good to see the Saudi Arabia visit with the King and 50 countries already paying off. They said they would take a hard line on funding......extremism, and all reference was pointing to Qatar. Perhaps this will be the beginning of the end to the horror of terrorism!"
What worries me is this :
Is our Commander-in-Chief aware that the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East is in Qatar? 11,000 U.S. troops. I am seriously worried he is not aware of this. Never mind that he is being played hard by the Saudis.
Trump assumed the presidency bemoaning American allies are not paying enough to help support American hegemony, while promising to make America's defense budget, already larger than the next 20mpowers combined, even larger.
Trump will leave office, doesn't matter whether that is tomorrow or in 3.5 years for the damage is already done, with America having no allies, no hegemony, BUT a bigger military budget, transformed into a eternal laughing stock for all ages for being so easily and thoroughly manipulated, out maneuvered, and dethrone at such trivial cost by a moribund power scraping by by selling natural resources and in terminal demographic and economic decline with an economy only 1/10 the size of the US.
Where are the neoconservatives of the the project for New American century now?
