Trump just turned the Abraham Accords into an accountability trap for the Gulf states and Iran walked right into it. Once Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey are signatories....they lock themselves into a collective security posture.

Could you imagine how far advanced humanity would go if the Muslims just stopping being such animals?

Israeli engineers, Saudi energy and construction... That region would literally be the city of the future.

But no. Allah had to +-&$ a sheep and now a huge chunk of the planet behaves like this.

A breach of the Iran deal becomes their problem to call out, not just America's or Israel's. You can't sign a normalization framework and then look the other way when your new partner Israel is threatened by a nuclear Iran. The accords create skin in the game.

The author is delusional. Holding weak sheikdoms accountable under a multi-national security agreement is like having a third graded co-sign an auto loan.

This bloviating is getting tiresome.

Just like Unconditional Surrender was never going to happen, this type of wishful thinking is going on and on too much.

If the socialist bartender or Madmani ever win the top prize, all of this disappears.

The political cost of looking away just went from zero to enormous.

It’s a one for all and all for one not good odds for Iran.

You could say that about another group.

President Trump is the master of manufacturing leverage and applying it judiciously yet ruthlessly.

I would not bet against the guy

Yada yada yada. This is Trump’s person of premature withdrawal. Tidy up a treaty with peoples who religion tells them it s ok to lie to the infidel and then walk away.

I was a child but even then I knew we needed to and could have finished the job after Tet. A battle we won but allowed the press to make it a loss.

Iran just needs the final coffin nail. It should be delivered. It’s how a nuclear Iran in 10 years. Not our problem you say. We will have Iran ruling the Gulf and China ruling Asia. Not the multipolar world that we would function well in. Given the progressives infinity to murderous totalitarian government, we would finds ourselves ruled the same way as Iran and China.

The last I checked, Turkey wasn’t a Gulf State. Is someone trying to reassemble the Ottoman Empire?
