Yes, Carter destroyed 30 years of US influence in Persia.
He did massive damage to US interests in only 4 years.
Obama in 6 years has been given a mandate to unravel all US gains since 1945. This is serious stuff. Egypt was the USA’s kingpin in the Middle East, (even though secretly it is Israel but can't say it publicly) and now, that is virtually gone.
Personally, I think it goes back to Dinesh D’Souza’s documentary 2016: Obama’s America. Obama is a first-world “president” with a third-world view. He wants to establish “parity” between the United States and the rest of the world. In his mind, a Pan-Arab “caliphate” does just that and he’s using the MB to do it.
