He brought this on himself and he is clueless on how to deal with it. Middle East problems demand understanding, diplomacy and military strategy which escapes Trump across the board.

we’ve had every conceiveable kind
if president over my lifetime, none has done
anything to improve things there. so i can point to what all of them have done since jimmy carter, and what kind of president they were? and conclude that every single one of them failed miserable at getting Iran in line. we’ve tried everything except invading, and nothing has worked ( not supporting invasion, just saying that intellectual
articulate presidents also failed regarding iran).

Let’s not pretend Trump caused this, or that his personality is making it much worse than it was. they’re a rogue state that sponsors terrorists and helps them kill innocent people. none of our presidents has changed that much.

obama tried to pay them off, howd that work out?

the problem isn’t trump. it’s iran. our friendship with israel, who Iran hates, makes it very tricky.
