If Donald Trump can fix the Middle East, that is what he will be remembered for, for centuries. That’s how important it is.
I do not believe that good and smart people can do it, let alone Trump, but it he’s anywhere near sincere in his efforts, credit where it’s due (but in the context of all the horrible things he’s done).

Most of this shit isn’t about being a saint and genius, it’s about beating back western powers, their rabid dog, and the other sickos like Saudi Arabia. Literally just do that and things will get astonishingly better over time even if serious problems will remain. Letting countries exist with minimal threat but also minimal ability to militarily abuse other countries will trend in the direction of the development of diplomatic cooling, economic development, secularization, etc., and people will be better off, even if the class war must still be waged.
It was fine until colonizers broke it. The only way to fix it is for colonizers and occupiers to all leave and never come back, including Israelis. This isn’t a 3000 year war, it started with Zionist terrorism in the British Mandate of Palestine and will end once Palestine is free.
America (and therefore Trump) are the biggest sponsors of this terrorism and occupation, not a neutral third party arbiter. They are the muscle and money behind the genocide. Trump is not “fixing” anything unless he completely commits imperial suicide and dismantles the occupying genocidal force that he commands, which he will never do intentionally - but maybe he’s stupid enough to do it through repeated strategic fumbles.
Americans need to leave Syria. They need to leave Iraq. They need to not re-entre Afghanistan. They need to close down their network of 300 bases. They need to stop sponsoring ISIS and Al Qaeda and using them as mercenaries. This is what is breaking the Middle East.
Saying that Trump is going to “fix” the middle east is like saying that an Abusive Spouse is going to “fix” the abused victim. The only thing the abuser needs to do is leave, and maybe be placed in jail for their crimes if we’re lucky. He could “fix” the middle east by ending all funding and weapon shipments and military support for Israel and sanctioning them, the cancerous “country” would evaporate into thin air within the decade. But he won’t.
Getting Israel to move from the “consumed in a bloodthirsty frenzy of destruction, immolating themselves and everyone they lay hands on” stage to the “consolidating the freshly stolen territory and recovering from the human costs of whipping the entire population into a deranged genocidal rage for a multi-year orgy of violence and horror” stage so the stolen land can be profiteered on with real estate scams isn’t “fixing” shit. Like maybe it’s half a step back from trying to keep the frenzied genocidal sprint stage going full blast, but that’s assuming that that is even what’s going on, and this isn’t just another short pause to regroup, resupply, and plan out the next wave of genocidal horror.
The middle east also isn’t some naturally intractable mess, the current state of things is more or less entirely down to several 100% modern problems: settler colonialists committing genocide for personal profit, Saudi Arabia boosting and exporting their personal brand of theocratic chauvinist heresy, and the US funding and arming Saudi-aligned jihadists to use as disposable and deniable mercenaries in conflicts throughout Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice.
The type to believe a negative peace = actual peace, when the victims of genocide are so suppressed that they surrender, or when ethnic cleansing is completed and there’s nobody left to resist. That’s “peace”

‘fix the middle east’?

Can you elaborate on what you see as needing “fixing” in the Middle East?
Getting Israel to move from the “consumed in a bloodthirsty frenzy of destruction, immolating themselves and everyone they lay hands on” stage to the “consolidating the freshly stolen territory and recovering from the human costs of whipping the entire population into a deranged genocidal rage for a multi-year orgy of violence and horror” stage so the stolen land can be profiteered on with real estate scams isn’t “fixing” shit.

So in your mind, ethnic cleansing = fixing?
Ethnic cleansing that doesn’t interrupt their brunch = fixing.
It’s MLK’s white moderate
