Trump called in Riyadh for an unrelenting, international
campaign against religious extremism, at the same time fatefully placing the US
firmly on the Sunni Muslim side of the Middle East’s gaping Sunni-Shia divide.
Ignoring the fact that most of the region’s terror victims,
for example in Iraq, are Shias, ignoring the reality that both al-Qaida and
Islamic State are hardline Sunni groups and ignoring Saudi complicity in the
spread of extremist beliefs, Trump chose instead to direct his fire at Shia
Iran. All “nations of conscience”, he said, should band together to isolate Iran and “pray for the
day when the Iranian people have the just and righteous government they
deserve”.
I wonder if Jared advised him on this idiotic policy.
ReplyDeleteIt's probably part of the plan to bring peace to the Middle East with more weapons. It'll be so easy. I'm surprised no one has done it before.
