Donald Trump's strategy in the Middle East is full of contradictions

coming to blows in 2019, America and Iran celebrated the new year in fitting style: with prophecies of war. The escalation began on December 27th, when dozens of missiles, allegedly fired by an Iranian-backed militia in Iraq called Kataib Hizbullah, struck an Iraqi military base in Kirkuk, killing an American contractor and wounding American and Iraqi soldiers.

Sixteen years after overthrowing Saddam Hussein, that smacks of poor intelligence and of a depressingly weak influence over the government in Baghdad. It is an ominous sign for the durability of America’s continuing presence in Iraq.

Every option's been tried and failed in the Middle East. Trump is as good and maybe better than Jimmy Carter or Barack Obama.

From the Netflix ahow Messiah, we could tell that we cannot trust a reborn massager from god.

Strategy?

Yes. There's a strategy of Russia and Saudi, definitely not the good dog Trump. Will consider naming trump for my next dog.

Propaganda. The leftist wing narrative.

He promised to do things differently, depending on his real time judgement. Trust your president and his administration you are good.

The politics of the Middle East is very complex with changes occurring. No wonder there are contradictions .

Now you tell us!

trump just does what putin tell him to.

The killing of Soleimani was a huge error

Really? How then should they do it Another terrorist state apologist the economist

The Middle East is full of contradictions, has been for 2000 years. Maybe 20000 years. Obama’s strategy was clear, help Iran.

What is the world's withdrawal from the United States. And trump was missing. man's family hates himself.

Y lo peor es que este loco puede ser re-elegido, mostrando como el nacionalismo está en ascenso (malo, muy malo).

Strategy? Wtf! Kevin McAllister had a better battle plan in home alone

I'm sorry. Did just use the words 'Donald Trump' and 'strategy' in the same sentence?

The Middle East is full of contractions. All Americans President's Middle East policies has been riddled with contractions.

On one hand he wants to bomb the whole region; on the other he wants their oil money.

Strategy? You guys fucking serious? Strategy?

So the Economist supports terrorists? Close your account.

Maybe, but tonights action and the iranian response that will come, and the strange (not to say inappropriate) reactions from Biden and Warren will ilprove his standing for November.

Like drawing a red line on Assad and not doing shit?

He’s a moron. That’s why.

Go to 'HELL' --Conflict of Nations. It was not a conflict of Nations. They killed many American people first, USA is only doing a defense for justice--Obama years, USA was a wimp everywhere in the world, every nation took advantages of USA. Look at WTO & UN, who followed rules?

Strategy? There is no strategy.
