I'm so glad the media is ignoring the UAE/Israeli "Nothing Burger"

It was such a telegraphed photo op and distraction that it might as well have been sent by Western Union.

Look, I'm all for progress on the situation in the Middle East, having spent quite a bit of my Navy career doing lazy circles in the gulf.

But nothing this misadministration does has any seriousness or depth to it. It's been 4 years of 30 minute sitcoms and one-hour drama TV shows.

It's not surprising that a man who's entire life has been a TV Script would have a reign of Bullshit made for TV drama.

The Donnie Short Fingers Show is literally potato chips for the brain.

You and I... and any sane Americans, know that these troupe of C-List actors take Middle East peace about as seriously as they take this pandemic. Every act is designed to do nothing but try to portray Donnie Dipshit as Batman, but in reality, he's more like Fat Elvis... and he too will hopefully die soaked in drugs and naked on the toilet midway through pinching off a loaf.

By the time this "deal" is scrutinized, it will be as thin as rice paper run through a plainer.

Or worse, we'll find that UAE was bribed with weapons and an attack on Iran, and Israel was told, just say you'll stop annexing land until after the election.

This was probably a deal that Jared and MBS drew up on a napkin after a night at a strip club in Dubai.

At this point, with the exception of collecting evidence for the upcoming criminal tribunals, everything Donnie Dipshit says should be ignored like the fart of a flea.

This just didn’t get the play that Trumpers wanted. And if it did, it was in the conservative Echo chamber. Even though it was preposterous that Trump had any hand in it. I understand the bots were out in full force on that Nobel Peace Prize thing again after that went down. While “newsworthy” it had little relevance to the lives of ordinary Americans.

without US input. Trump got the photo op by threatening to cut off US aid to Israel unless he got credit. He believes this photo op will get him the Nobel Peace Prize. In a word, shameless.

the Countries left out of this Accord. If you do not except the Palestinians or the Iranians,every thing else is moot.
