In what can be called a victory speech over failed neoconservative foreign policy, President Donald Trump proclaimed the end of 30-some years of existing foreign policy in the Mideast. The ideology dragged the U.S. through pointless wars from Libya to Yemen is now dead.
At an investment conference in Riyadh, in a speech little-commented on by the mainstream media, Trump said, “In the end, the so-called nation builders wrecked far more nations than they built. And the interventionalists [sic] were intervening in complex societies that they did not even understand.”
For the first time since the First Gulf War in the 1990s, America is not fighting in the Middle East. Trump arranged a fragile ceasefire with Yemen, where multiple U.S. presidents have waged a proxy war against Iran. Trump is withdrawing American troops from Syria, became the first American president in 25 years to meet with a Syrian leader, and announced alongside his speech the end of sanctions against that country. He is finally negotiating with Iran toward some sort of nuclear deal to replace the one he unilaterally canceled in his first term. Progress has not always been in a straight line, but there has been progress.
One need only to look back on the past decades to see the difference. The United States once overtly supported Saddam Hussein in his war against Iran, leading to thousands of deaths on both sides. Pivoting, the U.S. invaded Iraq in 1991 after Saddam moved into Kuwait. Saudi Arabia was threatened, saved from war by U.S. intervention because of its oil reserves, which the U.S. was then fully dependent on. In the neocon spasms following 9/11, America invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, launching a nation-building plan in both countries to displace national governments with American puppet states ...

Unless the neocon policy was basically a Satanic front. I don't necessarily mean this literally (though nothing would surprise me), but the death and mayhem that goes far beyond what is mentioned in this paragraph must surely have Satan smiling.
It was never “conservative” - it was globalist policy via the Republican half of the Uniparty.
Is Iraq really worse off without Sadaam Hussein? Just asking.
George W Bush was probably an idiot, but the American war was quick and decisive, compared to conflicts that drag on for decades even centuries in that region.
Yes Trump wants to get us out, but then again he was bombing Yemen.
And he wants to preserve Israel.
And he may help Israel attack Iran.
The idea that we’re out of the Middle East is a bit overblown.
As for guilt, certainly Russia and Iran have been meddling with much greater evil intent.
The Rotheschild’s figured out that the best way to make money is to sell weapons to both sides. Consequently, never ending war.
It is Satanic in nature.
One of the things that really ticked me off: instead of defining victory conditions in Afghanistan they decided to get really stupid.
First, they decided to start “nation building” after we’d stomped the place flat, then decided that meant LGBTQwerty crap.
That went over well.
Then they decided to have our troops ask permission to shoot back.
“Courageous restraint” they called it.
And third, they thought they were “sending messages” to the enemy just like the “sending messages to the enemy” actions in... Vietnam.
Parallel, the Obama administration doing “regime change” everywhere they could.
Destabilized everything.
So in the end, appalling loss of life for zero benefit all for “glory of the party”.
Or something.
The left (and Pakistan) sure got upset about is finally getting Osama.
Brak was pretty bent over it.
You can thank Kissinger for the nation-building policy. He thought he could make another Japan if the US did that.
“George W Bush was probably an idiot, but the American war was quick and decisive, compared to conflicts that drag on for decades even centuries in that region.”
You mean George H W Bush?
Especially the younger one.
Unfortunately, the vast gulf in difference of values between the goat humpers and the rest of civilization is too hard to overcome.
It’s entirely possible to eradicate societal norms in one generation, but near impossible to institute societal norms afterwards as being altruistic is not a thing in primitive society.
Basically it was like trying to teach lower primates how to play piano and instead getting in return banging rocks and hooting between poop flinging and face eating.
And the mental idiocy of “they’re just like us” is.... That kind of thinking would have lost WW2.
Most ME’r, because of generations of cousin marriages, are below average intelligence. So, even if you instituted strict controls, it would take generations for them to heal around the average.
American foreign policy has been an utter complete disaster for many decades.
The globalist and corrupt politicians in the United States created wars where we won nothing but death and debt looting the American treasure of trillions.
They were almost there in the late 70’s and early 80’s
Iran until Carter’s Ayatollah tantrum.
Iran had colleges with female students (!) and was thoroughly modern.
Same with Afghanistan.
Then... Well.
Only took one generation to do that amount of damage.
I believe Iraq’s economy is better than it was under Hussein. Arguably the invasion of Iraq achieved its stated objective. They now have elections and is not under a dictator anymore. It is a lot freer now (according to AI).
George W Bush was probably an idiot, but the American war was quick and decisive, compared to conflicts that drag on for decades even centuries in that region.
We should have left Iraq after we were able to take Baghdad.
Due to the Iraq War, we were able to get the Saudis to cooperate. Remember they were behind 9/11, indirectly.
“The End of Neoconservatism”
I know a lot of Globalists/Zeepers here wish I’d stop calling out the Neocons, and if Neoconservatism does end, I’ll stop calling them out.
it is USA military contractors not some old, stale “Jewish conspiracy” that makes weapons for profit
i am not saying that they shouldn’t make weapons, either. weapons are necessary and if they didn’t supply them, we’d have to buy our weapons from foreign manufacturers (not a good defense strategy, to say the least)
It’s not a Jewish conspiracy, it’s a fact.
Not every Jew cares about what Judaism is supposed to mean. The Rotheschild’s have chosen worldly wealth over their heritage. Being of Jewish descent does not grant one some sort of immunity from joining evil.

As Dennis Prager explained, unless it’s been forbidden to do expressly, it is not a sin to do.
There is nothing in the Torah about funding both enemies to kill each other.
Achieved objective for whom? The U.S. spent upwards of 4 trillion effing dollars. 5,000 Americans killed, 30,000+ wounded. The U.S. won death and death. All this so they can vote in Ustinkistan? Are you kidding? Weapons of mass destruction? How effing corrupt can they get?
Bush's ten year long "compassionate war" was complete bull shit...We won nothing but death, debt, carnage and pain.
Mission accomplished, right lasereye?
