Trump is working to engineer an entirely new balance of power in the middle east. This is fairly amazing to watch. High risk high return stuff.

The last 6 Presidents, going back to Carter have had their hands in the Middle East. It's tough not to.

If Trump can make something more stable out of that hellhole region, it will be a remarkable, beautiful thing. And, he would succeed where none have in most of our lifetimes.

I don’t expect stable or sane. But if Egypt, Saudi, Jordan, Israel and the UAE hold a more or less united front against the crazies, that leaves Iran and Turkey to joust for leadership of the bad guys. Our goal would then be to prevent either of them from winning.
