Which of the two can better maintain stability?
With Obama-Biden, over the last decade, we got Ukraine, Gaza & this houthi mess. None of which existed in Trump's first term but sure as day Trump is expected to fix ALL of them as if he was responsible.
Just so you know I'm pro arms lobby and want a similar enterprise in India. We will get there in a couple of decades. I'm also an ardent Zionist.
Obama claimed the same too if you remember. Trump had a lot to learn in his first term and got played. In his second term he will be assessed by how well he learnt from his past mistakes.
And what wars did they start or were responsible for? None.
As a neocon, I'm a fan of both the gents you mentioned. Too bad they've been sidelined. So I'm still figuring him out as he goes.
In what way has he duped his supporters?
Cabinet members you mentioned are all pro Zionist. Not a bad thing at all given the absolute mess Israel had to deal with earlier.
I guess your definition of swamp is different to his. Maybe closer to what Obama meant.
DOGE is one part of draining the swamp. Unelected bureaucrats doing what they want with no accountability. The FBI chief Patel has a lot to say on this subject if you follow his interviews he gave prior to being confirmed. Even written a book about it.
They want a more accountable government with more transparency and where the rule of the people has more sway. Things have changed a lot since the founders of the US and how they envisaged government should be run.
There's that word again. Carelessly thrown around.
Pretty good actually. The Iraq war which I supported has been a succes. Iraq will not in our lifetimes be a threat to its smaller gulf neighbours. Funny how so many people miss that point.
Iran had been held back by sanctions under Trump which the Biden administration bypassed and thankfully didn't try to repeat the folly of the nuke deal that Obama did and Trump had to jettison. Iran is a major source of instablity in the region. The Israelis & gulf arabs are coalescing well against a common adversary. So this creates more balance. And Trump deserves full credit for that by getting the Abraham accords done. Trump is responsible for Israel having official relations with nore arab countries than all US presidents put together going back to and including Carter.
It's an open question whether the Israelis will be allowed to take out Iran's nuclear infrastructure. With the right tools they could. In fact back in 2012 they had such a plan in place only to be betrayed by the Obama administration who made them public (!)
Now do you see why I say Obama-Biden are clowns. They have allowed Iran, China to get the upper hand. Both are adversaries of the US. And screwed up relations with Russia which is not interested in confronting the US but has been forced into that position as a matter of national survival. That is why the increased instability around the region.
