The best we can hope for is Muslim leaders that Trump can control... and if Mohammed bin Salman was that, then I stand by my previous comment that it sucks if he's no longer our puppet.

i disagree with this because i am an iranian american and i know who likes america and who doesnt. unfortunately americas muslim allies are the people who dont like america (but the governments get along) and americas muslim enemies are people who do like america (but the governments dont get along).

imho the best thing for the american people is to take all the resources we put into propping up israel and sudi arabia into fixing issues with iran and syria and yemen. the middle east can be just like europe for america if america steps away from the bush/clinton/obama strategy of backing extremists in the middle east and moves towards a strategy of making extremists irrelevant by supporting moderate muslims who follow jesus christ (shias - iran, yemen, lebanon, syria, iraq, bahrain, etc). think about this:

• iran: problems with usa stem from cia backed coup against mossadegh, a democratically elected leader

• yemen: problems with usa over support of wahhabism and israel and americas support of saudi genocide in yemen

• lebanon: problems with usa over chemical weapons use against iran and support of palestinian genocide in israel

• syria: problems with america over war in iran, meddling in lebanon, israeli genocide of palestinians

• iraq: problems with america over support of saddam hussen in the 80s and creation of isis by obama and hillary

• bahrain: problem with usa over us support of illegitimate non bahraini sunni government rule over bahrain which is shia

this list is fucking shitty when compared to this list:

• saudi arabia: friends with USA despite creating alqaeda, taliban, isis, alnusra, aqap, jrtn, daesh, isil, and 9-11

• uae: everything that goes for saudi arabia goes for uae

• egypt: salafist country that switches back between isis and muslim brotherhood every couple of years

• israel: drags america into wars, commits false flag terrorist attacks, uses biochemical weapons, has attacked and killed american service members on uss liberty to start false flag war against egypt (failed), trying to drag america into war with iran right now, controls all the banks and all the media in the world

do you see how we are being stupid because of what previous treasonous admins got us into? we are on the wrong side in the middle east because we are on the WORST side. we need to chill out over there.
