Right.... sarc. And, he was a “newclear engineer”... heh- only he was NOT ever one. The Naval Academy did not graduate nuclear engineers then. Carter went and did not finish the NUPOC program cause his daddy died and he quit the navy to run a peanut farm and grift into the GA governorship.
The Carter Center nearly entirely funded by the Talwaleed Saudi Royal family until bin Salman took all of them out and emptied their bank accounts. A medieval “pastor” who never met a dictator he did not LOVE. Including the Castros.
You make a fair point about Carter’s behavior in regards to the Middle East. Some of his actions seemed to have an antisemitic tinge to them. I dunno. Maybe that’s just my imagination. Maybe not.
So I will judge him as an imperfect and flawed man. And as I noted, we are still paying for his mistakes. But I still wish him well. His evil (for the lack of a better word) is so much less than that of Obama or Biden.
Permit me to add one more thing to my post #35. Back in 1979 Carter brokered a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. That treaty has held for four decades. That’s pretty impressive, given how messed up that region is.
Carter does not deserve the majority of the credit for that. But he does deserve a slice.
