    ‘fix the middle east’?

    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.
